Background information

Each planning consideration we work on passes through the stages of our design process, where we research and answer specific questions to help us collect more information.

Backlog

• Who asked for 'Green space' data?

  Paul Downey, Service Owner

• What is the driver for the request?

  Other

• Which 2024 focus area does the request support?

  • Faster local plans
  • Other

Screen

• What is the 'Green space' consideration?

• Is there legislation that defines 'Green space'?

• Who, in law, is responsible for the planning consideration or makes decisions about 'Green space'?

• Which organisations do we think should publish the data?

• Is the Green space a trigger?

• Is the Green space something to consult during plan making?

• Is there any Green space data already available?

• Do we think the data should come from a single source?

• Will a data standard be required?

Research

• Do we understand the lifecycle of a Green space?

• Do we understand how the data is created/produced?

• Where will or should the data be used?

• What other planning considerations does it interact with?

• Who are the statutory consultees for Green space?

• Other than the statutory consultees who are the primary users of Green space? How do we expect them to use Green space?

• What are the planning needs for this data?

• Who are the types of users who might benefit from having access to Green space data?

• What are some potential uses of Green space data?

• What's the value of adding Green space data to the platform?

• From what we have learnt so far are there any risks to making Green space data available?

  As per some research we did, summarised in this blog on an analysis of local plans and local area requirements, we're confident that this consideration acts as an INPUT to the process of creating a local plan.
