Open Space Standards – Ownership of open green space on new developments
32. In the 2021 consultation CPRE Bedfordshire proposed that all open green space within new housing development should be handed over to Town & Parish Council's for long term maintenance and not held onto by developers who charge residents much higher maintenance costs. There have been many complaints from Parish Council's and residents regarding this practice.
33. We can find no reference in the Submission Draft to any steps taken to remedy this problematic area.
