Natural England support the preparation of an infrastructure delivery plan to assist in the delivery of high quality open space and we recommend that this is linked to the provision of multi-functional green infrastructure. Natural England's green space standards state that every home should be within 300 m of an accessible natural green space of at least two hectares (ha) which is equivalent in size to two football pitches. In addition each home should also have access to: at least one accessible 20 ha site within 2 km; at least one accessible 100 ha site within 5 km and; at least one accessible 500 ha site within 10 km.
