This map shows a number for each local green space that the CR3 Forum has so far identified.
Local Green Space designation is a way to provide special protection against development for green areas of particular importance to local communities.
The table below this map provides some further information. Green text in the table indicates a link to the full LGS study document in its current state. Some of these are finalised, others are still in draft form. New and updated information will be added as soon as it becomes available.
