- Open Space study for West Lancashire
We appointed specialist sport and leisure consultants PMP in
June 2008 to undertake an assessment of open space, sport and
recreational facilities in West Lancashire. The key aims &
objectives of the study were to:
- Update the existing audit of provision to reflect recent
changes;
- Update the assessment of local needs to ensure that the needs
and aspirations of local communities are appropriately
understood;
- Develop clear and robust standards and;
- Inform the future management of open spaces and facilitate
decision making on the current and future needs for open space,
sport and recreational facilities.
The assessment has been prepared in light of guidance provided
at a National level through PPG17 and will assist in establishing
future planning policies through the Local Development Framework
and future land allocation. Both the Open Space Study and
accompanying Playing Pitch Assessment are provided below, the
detailed appendices can be made available through contacting the
LDF Team.
