Important Open Spaces – Assessment Criteria Overview The North Lincolnshire Local Plan 2003 designated areas of open amenity and green space in settlements as LC11 Area’s of Amenity Importance. The main reason for this was to protect these areas for their open space character and amenity value, retain them as important spaces for each individual settlement, and stop them from being developed in the future. The LC11’s ranged from agricultural paddocks and woodlands, to highway verges and urban public realm (for example Church Square in Scunthorpe). As part of the new emerging North Lincolnshire Local Plan a review is required of these existing LC11 designations to check whether their status should remain protected through designation. It has been decided to amend the designation terminology from the LC11 – Area of Amenity Importance to an alternative designation. Areas that are designated through the review will now be designated ‘Important Open Space’. Project Outcome To undertake a review of existing LC11 Areas of Amenity Importance in the North Lincolnshire Local Plan 2003, potential new sites worthy of designation, and new sites suggested in the Call for Sites 2017 and 2018 to see whether they should be retained and designated in the new North Lincolnshire Local Plan as ‘Important Open Space’. A desk based review will be undertaken of the existing LC11 designations and any new site suggestion submitted during the ‘Call for Sites’ 2017 and 2018 to check: 1. Whether the status of each site had changed since the adoption of the Local Plan in which they are designated; 2. Whether the site is being considered for an alternative allocation in the emerging North Lincolnshire Local Plan (2018 – 2036); 3. Whether the site meets the following other factors: • Contribution to the open character or appearance of a settlement; • Open to public view; • Ecological or landscape value; • Recreational or social function. Only sites where the land use has remained open space and not required for alternative allocation in the new North Lincolnshire Local Plan will be designated as Important Open Space. As such, the designations will be considered to be justified. Appendix One sets out the assessment of the existing LC11 sites and all new sites submitted through Call for Sites at each stage and makes a recommendation for inclusion in the new North Lincolnshire Local Plan as ‘Important Open Space’. 1 SAFE WELL PROSPEROUS CONNECTED Settlement Location Area Decision Comments Alkborough Julian's Bower 0.18 Retain Alkborough Church & Orchard House 0.65 Amend Remove Orchard House from boundary, residential site.
