Neighbourhood planning advice

Neighbourhood Plans can identify Local Green Spaces (LGS). LGS are green areas that are especially important to the local community.

When choosing areas to designate as LGS, it's important to make sure they don't interfere with the functions of the County Council. These include:  

• Highways (roads, footpaths, highway maintenance)
• Education (schools and school grounds)

The County Council may object to LGS designations if:

• The land is part of the highway network, as this could prevent future road improvements or maintenance
• The land is part of a school site, including playing fields, as this could limit future development or expansion of the school
