The NPPG (Design) emphasises the importance of having a system of open and green spaces and that these can make an important contribution to the quality of an area. The allocation of land for a country park adjoining the Tach Brook is commensurate with the NPPG objective and significantly exceeds the open space requirements generated by the development proposals. The Background Document accompanying the representations includes an illustrative development framework plan which shows how the site at Lower Heathcote Farm can contribute to the provision of the country park. A wider strategic development framework Plan is also provided showing how the country park can continue to the east of the Lower Heathcote Farm site as part of the south of Harbury Lane strategic site allocation. The park, as envisaged in paragraph 2.59 of the Plan, can offer an informal recreational area and provide wildlife and biodiversity links to the wider agricultural landscape to the south.
