Children's play space is relevant to health and wellbeing. The forthcoming supplementary planning documents on Public Open Space/Space and Design will be important. The County Council supports efforts to promote a high standard of safe, attractive and accessible play spaces. The Suffolk Play Strategy may be helpful in this regard. The document could set out more detailed requirements of specific sites if particular areas of deficit are identifiable in Ipswich. To access a healthy environment, measures proposed for improving walking and cycling connectivity, alongside the provision of open spaces/recreation facilities, are important for improving overall health and reducing health inequalities.
