Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
Would not be sound in terms of meeting the effective and national policy accordance criteria for following reasons:
- no criteria for assessing proposals affecting open space as certain types of development on open space may be acceptable e.g. ancillary facilities, sports facilities - PPG17 paragraphs 10-18 provide guidance but this is not relflected in policy
- ambiguous as the word 'usually' open to misinterpretation - criteria should be used to set out exceptions where open space will not be protected and no guidance for assessing proposals for new open space as reference only made to open space being promoted
