Provision of communal open space requirements

Communal open space must be designed as an integral part of the holiday park to meet recreation needs, enhance attractiveness, provide safe and accessible spaces for all users including vulnerable groups, reduce pressure on external facilities, and improve security. Residual unused land is not acceptable for open space provision.

The provision of communal open space should be considered as an integral part of the design in order to : • meet formal and informal recreation and amenity open space needs, • contribute to the attractiveness of the development, • create a safe, convenient and accessible space for all holiday park users, particularly children, the elderly and people with disabilities, • reduce the need for people to seek open space outside the park, • enhance security through providing opportunity for on site activity. Reliance on the use of residual areas of unused land for open space provision will not be acceptable.
