Design process stages

Each planning consideration we work on passes through the stages of our design process. At each stage we are trying to learn enough to more on to the next stage.

    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.

  • Kieran Wint (04 September 2024)

    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, with it encapsulating those areas of use for 'pitch sports including football, rugby union, rugby league, hockey, lacrosse, cricket, American football etc.'

    Playing fields is a layer in the OS Greenspace dataset. The playing fields that are included are "only those that are used by the public at least some of the time are included in the product. School fields, for example, which are entirely enclosed and used only by the school are not included."
