Exception to presumption against loss of open space
Development may be permitted on open space where it provides such significant community benefit that this decisively outweighs the loss, and applicants should generally demonstrate local community support.
The Department will permit an exception to the presumption against loss of open space where development would produce such community benefit that this would decisively outweigh its loss. In such cases, applicants will generally be expected to demonstrate that their proposals are supported by the local community.
