Hockley Area Action Plan - Issues and Options
Representation ID: 6071
Received: 30/03/2009
Respondent: Sport England (East Region)
As part of the promotion of good design throughout the AAP area, reference to the incorporation of principles which encourage greater activity amongst users of new development would be a useful addition. Sport England has developed guidance for planners and masterplanners on this issue. Active Design uses three objectives to frame advice on positive design: improving accessibility; enhancing amenity; and increasing awareness. Using the three design objectives, the guidance explores in detail their application to three activity settings:
• Everyday activity destinations (shops, homes, schools workplaces)
• Informal activity and recreation (play areas, parks & gardens)
