    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.

    This data is currently nationally available as per the OS Open Greenspace dataset, which we will look to use initially.

    However, as a result of our research on open space typologies we will eventually look to collect this data from LPAs individually, defined as 'Designated areas for children and young people containing a range of facilities and an environment that has been designed to provide focused opportunities for outdoor play, including Local Areas for Play (LAPs), Local Equipped Area for Play (LEAPs), Neighbourhood Equipped Area for Play (NEAPs) and Multi-use Games Area (MUGAs).'
