Research
These are the questions we answer during the Research stage.
Answering them wil help us learn more about the Public parks and gardens consideration, determine if a data standard is required and whether we know enough to move on to the next stage.
-
Do we understand the lifecycle of a Public parks and gardens?
-
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?
Other local open space designations:
Amenity Greenspace Natural and Semi-Natural Greenspace Children’s play space Allotments Cemeteries Playing pitches Other outdoor sports
-
Who are the statutory consultees for Public parks and gardens?
Natural England
-
Other than the statutory consultees who are the primary users of Public parks and gardens? How do we expect them to use Public parks and gardens?
-
What are the planning needs for this data?
LPAs are likely to have locally designated public parks and gardens, which are accessible, high quality opportunities for informal recreation and community events, including urban parks, country parks, regional parks, forest parks, and formal gardens. The presence of these will likely be assessed through an open space study, and when planning for growth, new public parks and garden provision will be modelled, and be expected to be delivered through development. This provision is likely to be identified through an Infrastructure Delivery Plan.
-
Who are the types of users who might benefit from having access to Public parks and gardens data?
-
What are some potential uses of Public parks and gardens data?
-
What's the value of adding Public parks and gardens data to the platform?
-
From what we have learnt so far are there any risks to making Public parks and gardens data available?
Through the research of the available open national dataset, there appear to be no immediate risks to adding this data to the platform.
