It is noted that Policy CO1 contains reference at Point D to residential developments which contribute to recreational pressure upon the South Pennine Moors SPA and SAC being required to mitigate these effects in line with the requirements of Policy SP11 and the South Pennine Moors SPA/SAC Planning Framework SPD, which could include the provision of new recreational natural greenspaces or improvement to existing open spaces.

Suggested amendments to Policy SP11 set out above and in Appendix 2 will ensure that reference to the provision of new, or improved, open space as having the potential to mitigate recreational pressure on the SPA/SAC is consistent with the provision of Policy SP11 and the accompanying SPD.
