Key Evidence
Highest value sites (value is about the site in context and what it contributes to the community... e.g. if the site is the only one in that area or it's in a deprived community the value is higher
Hinchingbrooke Country Park
Barford Road
Loves Farm
Understanding the existing provision
Different sites...different contexts, value, level & type of use, benefits, landscape, biodiversity, heritage, community, life long learning, health & wellbeing, green infrastructure
From the DfT document Inclusive Mobility (2002) that 50m is the max distance many mobility impaired people can walk before they need to rest .... rest points = able to walk further
Worth noting... Data was collected pre-Covid-19. Some examples of stats....
86% believe that these spaces encourage them to keep fit and healthy
86% believe that these spaces improve their mental health
98% thinks these spaces make themselves happy
65% most often visit the nearest greenspace to their home
30% of those who don't visit say that they are too busy
