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.

  • What is the 'Village green status' consideration?

    A "village green status" means a piece of land is recognized as a town or village green, protected for public recreation and lawful sports and pastimes, and local people have a legal right to use it.

  • Is there legislation that defines 'Village green status'?

    Yes

    • What is the legislation that defines 'Village green status'?

      Commons Act 2006

    • What is the specific part of the legislation that describes how a 'Village green status' gets designated?

    • What is the specific part of the legislation that requires the publication of 'Village green status'?

  • Who, in law, is responsible for the planning consideration or makes decisions about 'Village green status'?

  • Which organisations do we think should publish the data?

    • Local authorities

  • Is the Village green status a trigger?

    No

  • Is the Village green status something to consult during plan making?

    Yes

    • Provide information about when Village green status is used during plan making

      As an open space designation, it is likely that a local planning authority will designate a village green within a development plan, and any proposed development will need to conform with the necessary policies.

  • Is there any Village green status data already available?

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

    No

  • Will a data standard be required?

    Yes

Research

  • Do we understand the lifecycle of a Village green status?

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

  • Where will or should the data be used?

  • Local greenspace

  • Who are the statutory consultees for Village green status?

  • Other than the statutory consultees who are the primary users of Village green status? How do we expect them to use Village green status?

  • What are the planning needs for this data?

    As an open space designation, it will be valuable to have this data on the platform, to demonstrate designated land, which may have implications set out within local policy on requirements for development.

  • Who are the types of users who might benefit from having access to Village green status data?

  • What are some potential uses of Village green status data?

  • What's the value of adding Village green status data to the platform?

  • From what we have learnt so far are there any risks to making Village green status data available?
