Trafford's Green and Open Spaces an Assessment of Need Update June _________________________________________ Trafford’s Green and Open Spaces An Assessment of Need Update June 2009 Contents Part A 1 Introduction 2 The Quantity of Greenspace 3 Distances of Greenspace from Residents 4 The Quality of Greenspaces 5 Wards Ranked in Order of Sufficiency Part B Individual Ward Profiles Appendix 1 List of Greenspace codes used for GIS mapping 2 Part A 1 Introduction 1.1 Following the Greenspace Assessment of Need carried out in 2004/2005 this short update provides some additional information, amendments and a progress report. Subsequent research has been carried to assess the distance residents travel to greenspaces. In addition amendments have been made to the audit of sites to add new sites and correct some inaccuracies in the 2005 data. Information is also provided to update the quality of play spaces in Trafford. 1.2 The full assessment has not been repeated as the majority of the information is being taken forward in a Greenspace Strategy due to be published later this year. The Greenspace Strategy will provide a more detailed breakdown of Greenspace in Trafford and set standards for its provision through the identification of a hierarchy of Parks from Borough Parks down to Local Parks and an action plan to improve the many types and uses of other Greenspaces in the Borough. 2 The Quantity of Greenspace 2.1 Amendments have been made to individual wards by correcting inaccuracies made apparent by access to improved skills and technology in GIS and by adding in a small number of sites that had been missed in the initial assessment. Overall, the amount of green space has not altered substantially and there has only been one totally new site added, Wellman Way in Altrincham. 2.2 A new map has been produced to reflect the changes and shows sufficiency and deficiency of accessible Greenspace in the individual wards. This is illustrated in Figure 1. The only significant change is to Altrincham which in 2005 was slightly deficient and is now slightly sufficient. The updated individual ward profiles make up Part B of this report. The list of sites mapped is included in Appendix 1. 3 Distances of Greenspaces from Trafford Residents 3.1 Following the 2005 Assessment a new piece of work was carried out looking at the distance of parks and green spaces from residential addresses in Trafford. Natural England’s standard recommends that people are within 300 metres of an accessible green space. Trafford has recorded that 70% of its population is within 300 metres of an accessible managed greenspace area over 0.2 hectares and 97% within 600 metres. 3.2 Figure2 Illustrates the information as a thematic map. The Greenspaces mapped exclude open countryside areas, wildlife and river corridors due to the difficulty of mapping boundaries and access points. 3.3 This work will be taken forward into the Greenspace Strategy where more detailed standards of access to particular facilities such as woodland and play grounds will be developed. In Trafford one of the key important issues is not the availability of Greenspace but its quality and ability to meet the recreation needs of residents. 3 4 The Quality of Greenspaces. 4.1 Since 2005 quality of Greenspaces has improved, although the approach to qualitative assessment has changed through the introduction of the ‘Trafford Greenspace Awards’ assessment in 2007, a rigorous inspection regime that expands on the national Green Flag awards assessment, into which 6 parks are continue to be submitted by Trafford. 4.2 The Trafford Greenspace Awards scheme takes the form of a biannual assessment (winter and summer) with sites awarded either bronze (65%), silver (75%) or gold (85%) – an overall score is obtained by taking the average score from the three distinct components of the assessment: (i) Internal quality assessment via Greenspace Officers (including criteria similar to Green Flag) (ii) External quality assessment (including criteria similar to Green Flag) (iii) Public feedback via the Greenstat system throughout the year 4.3 This reduces subjectivity in assessment of quality and provides a clear system and hierarchy for grading the quality of greenspaces. 4.4 2007 results revealed an average score of 66%, with 24 of the 41 sites achieving at least a bronze award, whilst 2008 results showed an average score of 69%, with 24 sites again achieving the bronze award or above. The Greenspace Strategy will provide further information on individual park scores. 4.5 One of the biggest improvements has been in facilities for children and young people. The consultation exercise carried out in 2005 showed there was a demand for skate parks amongst young people. The Borough now has 6 skate facilities located at the following sites: • Woodsend Park, Flixton • Davyhulme Park, Urmston • Lostock Park, Stretford • Cross Lane Park, Partington • Navigation Road, Altrincham • Worthington Park, Sale A further skate park is planned at Longford Park. 4.6 The recognised quality mark for childrens play areas is The National Playing Field Association Local Equipped Area for Pay (LEAP) and the Neighbourhood Equipped Area for Play (NEAP). 4.7 In 2005 Trafford had 20 play areas of LEAP standard and 1 of NEAP standard. In 2008 this had increased to 33 of LEAP standard and 2 of NEAP standard. Recently completed and planned schemes for 2009/10 indicate that the LEAP figure could rise to 47, provided sites meet NPFA (FiT) criteria, which at present do not necessarily mirror those of Play England’s ‘Designing for Play’ publication, linked to the national DCSF/DCMS Play Strategy and the emphasis on design quality and natural play rather than historically assessed 4 components such as size of activity area; number of items of equipment; range of activities provided and fencing. 5 Wards Ranked in Order of Sufficiency All wards in red are deficient and all wards in green are sufficient Ward Sufficiency rating (1 = most deficient) Sale Moor 1 Ashton Upon Mersey 2 Timperley 3 Clifford 4 Hale Barns 5 Stretford 6 Hale Central 7 Brooklands 8 Gorse Hill 9 Altrincham 10 Broadheath 11 St Mary’s 12 Davyhulme East 13 Village 14 Flixton 15 Davyhulme West 16 Urmston 17 Bucklow St Martins 18 Longford 19 Priory 20 Bowdon 21 5 Reproduced from the Ordnance Survey mapping with the permission of the Controller of Her Majesty's Stationery Office © Crown copyright.

Figure 2 7 Part B - Individual Ward Profiles Altrincham Description: Altrincham is a densely populated Ward with high land values and strong demand for development. The Ward is bounded by the natural beauty of Bowdon to the south and the light industry of Broadheath to the north. Altrincham is a multifunctional Ward, providing a vibrant town centre, housing, and a transport interchange and well used greenspaces. Commentary on results: Altrincham has six significant areas of greenspace. Its largest site, John Leigh Park, contains children’s play areas, tennis courts, a pet’s corner and a bowling green. There are formal sports facilities within the Ward, including provision for football and a municipal golf course. Other facilities include King George V pool, an historic pool adjacent to Altrincham golf course. There are six play areas, one is identified as a Neigbourhood Equipped Area for Play (NEAP), while three are identified as local equipped areas for play (LEAP). The Ward is densely populated and it is slightly sufficient in accessible greenspace (0.47 hectares) using the LANGsp standard. Characteristics, facts and figures Population 8731 Area of Ward (hectares) 301.31 Density of population (people per 29 hectare) Density of population in Trafford Above average (3rd quartile) % of population under 16 20.2 (national average) % of population under 16 17 Density of under 16s in Trafford Low (1st quartile) Audit of current provision of accessible natural greenspace Area Name of site Code Function (ha) John Leigh Park P2Alt 6.14 Neighbourhood Park Hendam Drive Play Area P17Alt 0.74 Other open space Oldfield Brow P27Alt 2.44 Recreation Ground Navigation Road P5Alt 4.33 Neighbourhood Park Recreation Ground King George V Pool P29Alt 2.73 Other open space Welman Way P126Alt 1.54 Other open space Analysis of access to local accessible natural greenspace (LANGsp) Total Area of LANGsp 17.93 ha Recomended Area of LANGsp 17.46 ha Degree of Sufficiency/Deficiency Sufficient Rank in Trafford 10/21 John Leigh Park 9 Ashton Upon Mersey Description: Ashton Upon Mersey, is a densely populated Ward in the west of the Sale area. There are areas of open space to the north, which are traversed by the River Mersey. The majority of the land is under private ownership and includes a private golf course, sewage works, private sports facilities and an allotment site. Commentary on results: The Ward has one park, Ashton Park. This contains a play area, provision for basketball, bowls and football. There are no other publicly accessible areas within the Ward, but paths that run through and adjacent to the private sites and links to the Trans Pennine Trail. The Ward has an above average population density and a high percentage of the population is under 16. Therefore, the amount of land required to meet the LANGsp standard is higher than the available greenspace within the Ward, making it one of the most deficient Ward in the Borough.

  • Appendix 4 Detailed Proposals for Each Ward – Organised by Local Area Partnership (LAP)
    Appendix 4 Detailed proposals for each Ward – organised by Local Area Partnership (LAP) Proposed Wards within the Knutsford Local Area Partnership Knutsford Local Area Partnership (LAP) is situated towards the north-west of Cheshire East, and borders Wilmslow to the north-east, Macclesfield to the south-east and Congleton to the south. The M6 and M56 motorways pass through this LAP. Hourly train services link Knutsford, Plumley and Mobberley to Chester and Manchester, while in the east of this LAP hourly trains link Chelford with Crewe and Manchester. The town of Knutsford was the model for Elizabeth Gaskell's novel Cranford and scenes from the George C. Scott film Patton were filmed in the centre of Knutsford, in front of the old Town Hall. Barclays Bank employs thousands of people in IT and staff support functions at Radbroke Hall, just outside the town of Knutsford. Knutsford is home to numerous sporting teams such as Knutsford Hockey Club, Knutsford Cricket Club, Knutsford Rugby Club and Knutsford Football Club. Attractions include Tatton Park, home of the RHS Flower show, the stately homes Arley Hall, Tabley House and Peover Hall, and the Cuckooland Museum of cuckoo clocks. In detail, the proposals are: Knutsford is a historic, self-contained urban community with established extents and comprises the former County Ward of Knutsford, containing 7 polling districts. The Parish of Knutsford also mirrors the boundary of this proposal. Knutsford Town is surrounded by Green Belt which covers 58% of this proposed division. The proposed ward has excellent communications by road, motorway and rail and is bounded to the north by Tatton Park and to the east by Birkin Brook.
