As part of the Local Development Framework (LDF) the council has prepared its Greenspace Standards and New Development supplementary planning document. This complements the provisions of policies OS3 and OS5 of the Unitary Development Plan.

It sets the standard to guide the protection and improvement of the quality, quantity and accessibility of public open spaces in the borough.  The document provides guidance to developers whose planning applications are likely to affect existing areas of green space. It also sets out in what circumstances the council require developers to provide new areas of open space, or to provide funding towards the provision or maintenance of open space.  In cases where either of these are required, the document explains how the council will calculate the required sum.  This is in line with the policies in chapter 10 of the Knowsley Replacement Unitary Development Plan.

Knowsley Council adopted its Greenspace Standards and New Development supplementary planning document on 7 November 2007. You can download this, along with associated documents, below.
