NPFA Standard as Minimum Aspiration
The NPFA standard represents the minimum level of 'outdoor playing space' provision that district councils should aspire to and exceed wherever possible, recognizing that provision can vary significantly between areas.
While it is recognised that provision of open space facilities can vary greatly from one area to another, the NPFA standard is intended to reflect a minimum level of provision of 'outdoor playing space' that the Department considers should be aspired to by district councils and exceeded wherever possible. Further information about the NPFA standard and the term 'outdoor playing space' is contained in Annex B.
