Local green space and protected open space


About this publication

The local green space (LGS) designation is a way to protect green areas or open spaces against development where they are of particular importance to local communities.

LGS designations are made for use in local plans or neighbourhood plans. These plans can identify on a map ('designate') green areas for special protection. Once designated, LGSs receive protection consistent with national Green Belt policy.
