East Boldon Neighbourhood Plan: Local green space and protected open space
About this publication
The local green space (LGS) designation is a way to protect green areas or open spaces against development where they are of particular importance to local communities.
LGS designations are made for use in local plans or neighbourhood plans. These plans can identify on a map ('designate') green areas for special protection. Once designated, LGSs receive protection consistent with national Green Belt policy.
The purpose of this report is to explain the process which has led to the proposed designation of areas of LGS and protected open space designation (POS) in the East Boldon Neighbourhood Plan.
It sets out the national and local background to LGS and POS and explains the methodology used in the assessments.
