Planning for Open Space and Green Infrastructure

Green space, open space and recreational areas all:

• enhance quality of life
• help us meet wider spatial objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)

In particular, they:

• provide health benefits
• help prevent risks to Guildford's environment
• help Guildford adapt to climate change

In line with NPPF requirements, we've assessed Guildford's green infrastructure networks. Read the Open Space, Sport and Recreation Assessment (OSSRA) below:
