    Charnwood Borough Council Local Green Space Assessment (May 2021)

    Charnwood Borough Council Local Green Space Assessment (May 2021) Introduction 1. This report assesses sites that have been submitted to the Council against the criteria for Local Green Space that are set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).Paragraph 99 of the (NPPF) sets out that communities can ‘identify and protect green areas of particular importance to them’ through designation as Local Green Space within a Local Plan. In accordance with Paragraph 101 of the NPPF ‘Policies for managing development within a Local Green Space should be consistent with those for Green Belts’. 2. Charnwood Borough Council consulted on its draft Local Plan in late 2019 and question 30d of the consultation document gave local communities the opportunity to identify sites to be considered for Local Green Space designation. The following sites were proposed for designation: a) Leconfield Road, Nanpantan (Draft Plan Allocation HS33) b) Land at the Ridgeway/ behind the Garland, Rothley c) Fields between Templar Way, Westfield Lane, the Ridgeway and West Cross Lane, Rothley d) Little Haw Lane, Shepshed e) Glenmore Park, Shepshed f) Oakley Road Park, Shepshed g) Land off Beacon Road, Loughborough (Draft Plan Allocation HS18) h) Site between Cross Hill Lane, Beacon Road and Parklands Drive, Loughborough 3. Site b is a parcel of land within site c. Site g is a parcel of land within site h. All sites are however treated as proposed on their own individual merits. Where exact boundaries of proposed sites were not provided, reasonable estimated boundaries have been drawn for the purpose of the assessment. Policy Requirements for Local Green Space Designation 4.
