DNP6: Local Green Spaces

The Neighbourhood Plan designates the following locations as Local Green Spaces, as shown on the Policies Map and the full assessment can be found in the Local Green Spaces Report:

1. The Newhache Green
2. Dormansland Recreational Ground inc the tennis courts
3. The New Farthingdale Green
4. Colin Anderson playing field 
5. Dormansland Cricket ground 
6. Station Fields

Proposals for development on the land will only be supported where very special circumstances can be demonstrated.

This policy proposes six important green spaces in the parish are protected from development by their designation as Local Green Spaces in accordance with §106 to 108 of the NPPF. It has the effect of managing development proposals in line with the NPPF provisions.

In each case, the green spaces play an integral part in the enjoyment of the village and are therefore special to the local community. A full description of each site, and the justification for its designation, is provided in the ‘Dormansland Green Spaces Report’.
