Supporting text on open space proportions (paragraph 9.6.2) suggests specific proportions of sites for green space and notes that this space can contribute to part of a site's SuDS provision. This is helpful but it should be noted that, on some sites, 10% or more of the site area may be required for SuDS provision alone.

County would appreciate a discussion regarding the relationship between open space and highway design. Need to consider how planting relates to highway design and maintenance requirements, and opportunities for future widening. May be a matter for forthcoming design guidance, rather than local plan directly.
