Oxford City Council has a policy that “existing open space, sports and recreational buildings and land … should not be built on unless the loss resulting from the proposed development would be replaced by equivalent or better provision in terms of quantity and quality in a suitable location”. (Green spaces, biodiversity, and open-air sports)
This is taken word for word from UK government policy. (Government National Planning Policy Framework. Section 99)
Are the new proposals equivalent to or better than our current recreation ground?
