Under ‘Green Infrastructure, Ecology, Open Space and Flood Risk’, neither 5.7.32 (’80 sites of open space’) nor figure 6 (‘overview of open space’) includes what is currently in the RUDP designated as Wycliffe open space for recreation. Iinclude it. In the draft plan it is earmarked for Housing (SH3). Shipley is marked as lacking recreation space, and the map should be amended to include SH3 as open space for recreation. It would be best to designate it as Local Green Space.
In the Audit that informs the strategic policy it is suggested that natural and semi-natural space can compensate for the lack of urban areas of open green space for recreation. But the majority of that natural and semi-natural space is the Victorian cemetery next to Nab Wood Crematorium, which in no way serves as open green space for recreation. This should be a comment within the Shipley strategy.
