1.1 This report has been prepared by Calderdale Council and forms part of the evidence baseto the Council’s Local Plan. It summarises work carried out during 2013-15 to update theCouncil’s open space database and builds upon the findings of the Open Space Sportsand Recreation Study 2006.
1.2 The report includes the following key sections:
Background, Purpose and Scope of the study;Methodology;Findings of the study;Summary and Recommendations.

1 Introduction
2.1 The 2006 Open Space Sports and Recreation Study was undertaken by consultants KKPto provide baseline information and to accord with the requirements of Planning PolicyGuidance Note 17 (July 2002).The study identified local needs through assessment, auditedpublic and private public space, sport and recreation facilities in the district and set localstandards for provision. The study did not seek to produce options for future strategy andpolicies.
2.2 Existing sites were surveyed in terms of quantity, quality, accessibility and value. Publicconsultation was undertaken to obtain views on the adequacy of existing open spaceprovision in terms of quantity, quality and accessibility and the results were used informulating appropriate local standards.
2.3 The 2006 Open Space Sports and Recreation Study included a Playing Pitch Strategywhich established demand for pitch provision and identified then current and future needfor such facilities. The Playing Pitch Strategy was updated separately by the Council in2012 and is due to be updated again in 2016.
5
Background 2
3.1 The 2015 Open Space Update was undertaken to ensure that the Council’s evidence baseremains up to date as the Local Plan progresses. The original PPG17 assessment wasused as the baseline, and sites which have come into being since the original study, togetherwith any sites which were missed or inaccurately plotted in the 2006 assessment, wereadded/amended on the GIS layers and database.
3.2 The 2015 Open Space Update provides the Council with evidence that can be used:
In the development of policy including at future examinations into policy documents;To inform the Land Allocations and Designations process;In determining Planning Applications;In Planning Appeals;As initial data to inform future open space strategies;To provide further analysis of the Open Space, Sport and Recreation Study in the lightof emerging practice.
6
3 Purpose of Study
4.1 Since the initial Open Space Sports and Recreation Study was completed in 2006, PlanningPolicy Guidance Note 17 has been replaced by the National Planning Policy Frameworkwhich was introduced in 2012. The NPPF states that planning policies should be based onrobust and up-to-date assessments of the needs for open space, sports and recreationfacilities and opportunities for new provision. It goes on to state that the assessments shouldidentify specific needs and quantitative or qualitative deficits or surpluses of open space,sports and recreational facilities in the local area. Information gained from the assessmentsshould be used to determine what open space, sports and recreational provision is required.
4.2 Whilst the NPPF has replaced PPG17, the Companion Guide to PPG17 has not beensuperseded by updated guidance and indicates that the four guiding principles in undertakinga local assessment are:
understanding that local needs will vary from one place to another according tosocio-demographic and cultural characteristics;recognising that the delivery of good quality and effective open space relies not onlyon effective planning but also on creative design, landscape management andmaintenance;considering that delivering the objectives set out in PPG17 (or equivalent) may dependmuch more on improving and enhancing existing open space rather than new provision;recognising that the value of open spaces or sport and recreation facilities will begreater when local needs are met. It is essential to consider the wider benefits thatsites generate for people, wildlife and the environment.
4.3 The NPPF defines Open Space as:
4.4 “All open space of public value, including not just land, but also areas of water (such asrivers, canals, lakes and reservoirs) which offer important opportunities for sport andrecreation and can act as a visual amenity” (NPPF, Annex 2: definitions, Glossary).
4.5 Although not formally part of the original PPG17 Open Space Study, Green Infrastructureconsists of all identified open space typologies.The only typology not included within GreenInfrastructure is Indoor Sports Provision. Green Infrastructure is referred to extensively inthe NPPF and complements the built infrastructure and contributes to the naturalenvironment. Among a list of benefits it can improve health and wellbeing, providerecreational and sporting opportunities, support and enhance biodiversity and improveenvironmental quality.
4.6 The key principles of the Open Space Update remain to protect, provide and enhance avariety of well designed, high quality, accessible open spaces that are well maintained andsafe which improve the quality of life for residents of and visitors to Calderdale.
4.7 The information provided in this report will also be used to inform the Council’s Local Planparticularly the Land Allocations and Designations process. It will also provide considerabledetail to inform any future Green Infrastructure Strategy and Infrastructure DevelopmentPlan.

Policy Context 4
5.1 Calderdale lies at the heart of metropolitan northern England, between the cities of Leedsand Manchester. The strategically important M62 motorway, first trans-Pennine canal andrailway connections, and other infrastructure links (such as national gas and electricitynetworks) pass through the district. To the south lies Kirklees, with Huddersfield being themajor centre and to the north is the City of Bradford. On the western boundary liesLancashire. Calderdale is unusual in that it is a rural metropolitan area extending high intothe Pennine uplands.
Figure 1 – Map showing location of Calderdale
5.2 Calderdale has approximately 205,000 inhabitants and possesses around 86,000 jobs.Halifax is the main town and the focus for administrative services, employment, retailingand services within the District. Around 80% of Calderdale's people live in the eastern thirdof the District in Halifax, Brighouse and Elland and the villages associated with thosesettlements. To the west of Halifax, the high moors, and Calder Valley with the towns andvillages of Todmorden, Hebden Bridge, Mytholmroyd and Ripponden have just over 20%of the people.
5.3 Calderdale covers an area of approximately 36,000 hectares with the western two-thirdsof the Borough being predominantly rural in nature and the east being predominantly urbanin nature. Much of western Calderdale is dominated by the high Pennine Moorlands.Theseare approximately 9,500 hectares of international ecological importance forming the SouthPennines Special Protection Area / Special Area of Conservation.

5 Profile
6.1 According to the Index of Multiple Deprivation published in 2011 (DCLG, 2011), the mostdeprived parts of the district include much of central and north Halifax, followed by parts ofBrighouse, Elland, Sowerby Bridge and Todmorden. Parts of the Park Ward are within themost deprived 3% of areas within England. The least deprived areas tend to be focusedon the more rural areas, or smaller settlements, to include parts of Hebden Bridge, Ryburn, Northowram and Shelf, along with parts of Greetland and Stainland.
Figure 2 – Indicies of Multiple Deprevation 2010
6.2 According to the 2010 Health Profile Association of Public Health Observatories, the situationin Calderdale is similar to the England average. However, life expectancy, deaths fromsmoking, and early deaths from heart disease are higher than average.There are inequalitiesin terms of life expectancy, men in the least deprived areas can live over 7 years longerthan men in the most deprived areas. The levels of physically active children (% of years1-13 pupils spending at least 3 hours per week on high quality PE and school sport) areworse than the England average, although the percentage of children classed as obese isbetter than the England average.
6.3 The main findings from the Calderdale Joint Strategic Needs Assessment that are relevantto the Open Space Update highlight some important local strategic priorities for improvingwell-being and health, preventing illness and reducing inequalities:
Reducing premature mortality and improving life expectancy;Meeting the needs of those with long-term conditions;Responding to an ageing society and the needs of older people;Improving children and young people's life chances;Increasing healthy lifestyles and breaking the cycle of deprivation;

Indices of Multiple Deprevation (IMD) 6
The population of Calderdale is set to increase, and this increase will be greatest inthe 65+ age group;The population of children and young people is set to rise, with the greatest increasein the 0 to 15 year-old age group;Life expectancy in Calderdale has improved for men in line with the rate for England;Life expectancy improvement for women has levelled off and is below the national andregional average;There is a growing health gap between the average and most deprived areas;Those living in Calderdale’s most disadvantaged communities experience greaterill-health than elsewhere in the district.There are differences in life expectancy betweenwards within Calderdale of up to 7 years;By Index of multiple deprivation decile (most affluent 10% as compared to bottom 10%)the gap is 10.9 years for men and 8.5 years for women;Overall education standards are improving in line with England. However there is stilla gap between the most and least deprived areas of Calderdale;Calderdale has a lower percentage of its population with NVQ4 and NVQ3 than theUK;Rising obesity levels and poor oral health are key health priorities for children andyoung people. Childhood obesity increases between the ages of 5 and 11;Behavioural factors which relate to health are not improving. Smoking prevalence andthe harm caused by alcohol and obesity is increasing;Predominant health beliefs are challenging to influence.

7.1 Demographics are a key component of understanding current and future demand for OpenSpaces, through a combination of demographic forecasts and supply side information.Thisapproach recognises how changing demographic conditions such as population, age andmigration influence the requirements of specific groups for different types of open space.
11
Demographics 7
8.1 Population data from the 2011 Census can be compared against previous Census data toshow changes in population over time. This information can be shown district wide but canalso be broken down into Local Plan areas in order to identify areas that have experiencedsignificant change.
Table 1: Population Change in Calderdale 2001 - 2011 (Source: Census 2001, Census 2011)

8.2 Between 2001 and 2011, the population of Calderdale increased by around 11,400 peoplewith all the Local Plan areas also experiencing an increase in population. Whilst Halifaxhad the largest growth with an increase of 4,267 people, Ripponden (Ryburn Valley)experienced the largest percentage increase of 11.7%. In contrast, Hebden Bridge andTodmorden had more modest increases of 319 and 483 people, respectively.
8.3 District wide, population change can be attributed to a significant level of natural change(around 600 people per year on average), internal migration (growing to a peak of over 500people in 2008/09 and subsequently shrinking), and international migration (peaking atover 600 people in 2001/02 and generally shrinking in scale since).
8.4 Locally, population in the Brighouse area has been driven by net immigration with littlenatural population growth. The same is true of the Mytholmroyd, Northowram and Shelf,Ripponden, Sowerby Bridge and Todmorden areas. In the Elland and Halifax areas,population growth has largely been driven by natural change with births outnumberingdeaths. The scale of change in Hebden Bridge has been notably low with the area seeingrelatively little change in population over recent years.
12
8 Population
9.1 The age profile of Calderdale is broadly similar to the profile for England. Since 2001, theborough has seen a fall in the number of residents aged 5 to 15 and 30 to 40. This hasbeen accompanied by increases to residents aged 40-50 and 60 to 70, which would suggestthat Calderdale is following the national trend in seeing an ageing population.
9.2 Locally, age profiles can have implications for the type of open space required. Generallyspeaking, age profiles for the Local Plan areas reflect the borough wide profile with a smallnumber of exceptions. Halifax, for example has a relatively high proportion of residentsaged 15 and under suggesting a high number of families. In Northowram & Shelf almostone in five residents is aged over 65.
13
Age 9
10.1 In terms of internal migration, Calderdale has seen a significant net outflow of youngerpeople aged 15 to 19 over the period 2001 to 2011, with this typically associated withstudents moving to University. There is, however, a net inflow of many subsequent agegroups, suggesting that some students return after completing their education.
10.2 International migration has largely been driven by significant immigration from EU Accessioncountries with 44% of inward migrants originating from EU Accession countries during theperiod 2002 -2013 (ONS, 2015). There was also notable immigration from Asia and theMiddle East, with approximately 285 migrants moving to Calderdale from this region eachyear on average (ONS, 2015).
14
10 Migration
11.1 The Replacement Calderdale Unitary Development Plan (RCUDP) is the current statutorydevelopment plan for Calderdale and was formally adopted on 25th August 2006. The UDPis a land-use plan for the whole of Calderdale and consists of two parts: a Written Statementwhich sets out policies and proposals that establish a framework for the provision of newdevelopment and the protection of the historic and natural environment; and a ProposalsMap which provides a land use designation for every piece of land within the district andillustrates where the policies apply. The RCUDP is the most important consideration in thedetermination of planning applications and gives a guide to developers, businesses andhouseholders as to what development is likely to be acceptable and also what is unlikelyto be permitted. The RCUDP is in the process of being replaced with a new Local Plan,however little weight can currently be afforded to the policies contained within this emergingdocument.
11.2 RCUDP policies relating to open space, sport and recreational facilities include:
OS1: Protected Open Spaces;OS2: The Provision of Open Spaces in Areas of Deficiency;OS4: The Provision of Sports and Recreation Facilities;OS5: The Provision of Recreational Open Space in Residential Development;OS6: The Safeguarding of Allotments;OS7: The Provision of Allotment Sites;OS8: Development Within or at the Edge of Common Land;OS9: The Recreational Use of Waterways and Open Water; andOS10: Former Halifax Branch Canal.
11.3 Policies GOS1: The Protection and Enhancement of Open Space, Sports and RecreationFacilities; GOS2: Audit and Assessment of Open Space, Sport and Recreation Facilitiesand Needs, and OS3:The Safeguarding of Sports Grounds and Playing Fields were deletedby direction of the Secretary of State: 3 August 2009.
15
Unitary Development Plan 11
12.1 The underlying principles of the Calderdale Biodiversity Action Plan are:
Implementation of UK Action Plan in Calderdale;Protection of key habitats and the species which inhabit them;Identification of conservation priorities, since focused action is needed to addressdeclines of wildlife;Targets that clearly identify what is to be achieved;Clear actions that identify the steps needed to meet the targets;Shared knowledge, because no one person or group has all the answers;Precaution, because the environment is a very complex system;Surveying and monitoring to ensure that actions will be the right actions to protect andenhance the environment; andPartnership and co-operation.
16
12 Calderdale Biodiversity Action Plan
13.1 The types of Open Space to be assessed will be based on both the definition of OpenSpace contained within the NPPF and the typology of open space that is contained withindeleted PPG17: Planning for Open Space, Sport and Recreation. This will ensureconsistency between the updated Open Space study and the original study in the absenceof an updated typology in the NPPF.
13.2 The NPPF definition of Open Space is detailed in the Policy Context section of this report.PPG17 offers the following typology of Open Spaces:
i. parks and gardens - including urban parks, country parks and formal gardens;ii. natural and semi-natural urban green spaces - including woodlands, urban forestry,
scrub, grasslands (e.g. down lands, commons and meadows) wetlands, open andrunning water, wastelands and derelict open land and rock areas (e.g. cliffs, quarriesand pits);
iii. green corridors - including river and canal banks, cycleways, and rights of way;iv. outdoor sports facilities (with natural or artificial surfaces and either publicly or privately
owned) - including tennis courts, bowling greens, sports pitches, golf courses, athleticstracks, school and other institutional playing fields, and other outdoor sports areas;
v. amenity greenspace (most commonly, but not exclusively in housing areas) - includinginformal recreation spaces, green spaces in and around housing, domestic gardensand village greens;
vi. provision for children and teenagers - including play areas, skateboard parks, outdoorbasketball hoops, and other more informal areas (e.g. 'hanging out' areas, teenageshelters);
vii. allotments, community gardens, and city (urban) farms;viii. cemeteries and churchyards;ix. accessible countryside in urban fringe areas; andx. civic spaces, including civic and market squares, and other hard surfaced areas
designed for pedestrians.
(PPG17, Annex: definitions, paragraph 2).
17
Types of Open Space, Sports and Recreation Facilities 13
14.1 This part of the report deals with the methodology employed in the study. It is consistentwith the approach advocated in ‘Assessing Needs and Opportunities: A Companion Guideto PPG17’ and the 2006 KKP Open Space Sport and Recreation study.
18
14 Methodology
15.1 An extensive range of desk top/background information has been reviewed and incorporatedinto the assessment of key issues for each typology. The national and local policy contextis summarised in the Policy Context section of this report. Other background documentationreviewed for the study includes:
Calderdale Open Space, Sport and Recreation Study, KKP, 2006.Calderdale Joint Strategic Needs Assessment, 2011.Calderdale’s Joint Wellbeing Strategy 2012-2022, Calderdale Health and WellbeingBoard, 2013.
19
Background Information 15
16.1 Site visits to open spaces in Calderdale were undertaken to assess their quality and value.In total, 531 sites were visited as part of the update, comprising:
Parks and gardens 41 Natural and semi-natural greenspaces 140Amenity greenspace 145Outdoor Sports Facilities 94Provision for children and teenagers 10Allotments, community gardens and urban farms 36Cemeteries, disused churchyards & other burial grounds 59Green Corridors 5Civic spaces 1
20
16 Site Visits
17.1 Open spaces, with the exception of provision for children and teenagers (see below) wereevaluated through the use of an assessment pro-forma (Appendix 1). The criteria utilisedare summarised below and are consistent with those used in the 2006 Open Space, Sportand Recreation study. The criteria were based upon those used for Green Flag (nationalstandard for parks and green spaces in England and Wales, operated by the Civic Trust)and ‘Green Space Strategies: A good practice guide’, published by CABE Space (2004).To provide a comprehensive picture of quality and value, site visit data has beensupplemented by additional data relating to issues such as community involvement,management plans etc.
17.2 Open Space site visit criteria:
Physical access, e.g., public transport links, directional signposts;Access-social, e.g., appropriate minimum entrance widths;Parking, e.g., disabled parking;Information signage, e.g., presence of up to date site information;Equipment and facilities, e.g., artwork, toilets – includes assessment of both adequacyand maintenance of provision such as seats, benches, bins;Location value, e.g., proximity of housing, other greenspace;Site problems, e.g., presence of vandalism, graffiti;Healthy, safe and secure, e.g., staff on site;Maintenance and cleanliness, e.g., condition of landscape;Typology specific profile, e.g., presence of environmental education facilities(natural/semi-natural provision);Site meets the needs of, e.g., elderly, young people;Site potential; andNon site visit information, e.g., community involvement, management plan.
21
Open Spaces 17
18.1 This typology, as set out in PPG17: A Companion Guide, covers ‘areas designated primarilyfor play and social interaction involving children and young people, such as equipped playareas and teenage shelters.’ Site visits to provision for children and teenage facilities wereconducted for the 2006 Open Space Sport and Recreation study to identify the range,nature and type of equipment provided. The pro-forma utilised for the 2006 study wasdeveloped using the National Playing Fields Association (NPFA) guidelines (appendix 2).
18.2 Provision for children and teenagers site visit criteria included:
Signage;Fencing;Seating;Number of pieces of equipment;Surface;Provision for toddlers, children, teenagers; andType (NPFA classification).
18.3 The data obtained during the 2006 site visits has provided the basis for assessing thecurrent provision for children and teenagers in the district with any improvements made tothese facilities since the original study was published being taken into consideration.
22
18 Provision for Children and Teenagers
19.1 All information relating to open space sites in Calderdale is collated in the open spacedatabase which was developed for CMBC by KKP consultants for the original study. Theupdated database forms the basis for all analysis and interpretation contained within thisreport.
19.2 Data held on the open space database includes:
KKP/Site reference number;Site name;Local authority reference number;Nearest road/settlement;Ownership;Management;Typology;Sub-typology;Size (hectares);Access; andSite visit data.
23
Database Development 19
20.1 ‘Assessing Needs and Opportunities: A Companion Guide to PPG17’ states that ‘anyassessment of quality needs a clear set of benchmarks, related to standards and, ideally,some form of scoring system.’
20.2 Data collected from site visits has been used to calculate a quality score for each site visited.Weightings have been applied to criteria to reflect their relative importance in determiningthe overall score. The criteria and their weightings can be found in Appendix 3. Scores inthe database are presented as a total score and percentage figures. The maximum scoresachievable for each typology are set out below (together with the equivalent data for value).

20.3 The database colour codes each site visited against the mean – sites classed as red havea quality score below the mean for that typology; those identified as green are above themean.
24
20 Quality
21.1 ‘Assessing Needs and Opportunities: A Companion Guide to PPG17’ details that value isa different and separate concept from quality. It relates to:
Context – a space or facility, which is inaccessible, is almost irrelevant to potentialusers and therefore may be of little value, irrespective of its quality. Similarly, if thereis significantly more high quality provision in an area than needed, some of it may wellbe of relatively little value – and conversely if there is very little provision in an area,even a space or facility of mediocre quality may well be valuable. Greenspaces whichform an integral part of the historic environments, however, will almost always be ofvalue, irrespective of their accessibility or condition.Level and type of use (in terms of primary purpose) – poorly used spaces or facilitiesmay be of little value (although the visual impact of a poorly used greenspace can besignificant) while well used spaces and facilities are always of high value. In this context‘well used’ should be interpreted in terms of people and wildlife while species richnesscan also be taken as a specific form of high level ‘use’.The wider benefits it generates for people, biodiversity and the wider environment.
21.2 Data collated from site visits together with non-site visit information (e.g., managementplans) has been utilised to calculate a value score for each site visited. Weightings havebeen applied to criteria to reflect their relative importance in determining the overall score.The criteria and their weightings can be found in Appendix 4. Scores in the database arepresented as a total score and percentage figures. The maximum scores achievable foreach typology are set out in Table 2 (together with the equivalent data for quality).
21.3 The database colour codes each site visited against the mean – sites classed as red havea value score below the mean for that typology; those identified as green are above themean.
25
Value 21
22.1 All sites in the open spaces database for Calderdale have been mapped using MapInfo.Using standards developed as part of the original 2006 study that are considered to still berelevant (Table 4), catchment areas for each typology have been established (Table 3) andapplied to each relevant site and mapped.This has enabled a detailed picture of accessibilityfor each typology across the district to be mapped (Appendix 8: Accessibility Mapping).

GIS Analysis 22
23.1 To facilitate analysis, the 2015 Open Space Update divides Calderdale into ten analysisareas.These are summarised below. Analysis areas were adopted to create a more localisedassessment of provision and for examination of open space/facility surplus and deficienciesat a local level.The use of analysis areas allows local circumstances and issues to be takeninto account.The ten analysis areas broadly reflect the common sub-division of the Boroughinto its main towns.

23 Analysis Areas
24.1 As part of the 2006 Open Space study, KKP carried out extensive consultation with usersand non-users of open spaces throughout Calderdale, during which many issues concerningopen spaces in the Borough were raised and discussed. Due to resource issues and thelikelihood that the findings of any new survey would show similar trends to the 2006 survey,this exercise has not been repeated for the Open Space update. The findings of the 2006consultation are summarised below.
24.2 In terms of usage (typologies visited by respondents in the last 12 months), the most visitedtype of open space is a natural area of green space with large proportions of residents alsovisiting large parks and local parks. The level of visits to grassed areas on housing estatesand allotments is particularly low compared to other forms of provision which is probablydue to these typologies not being visited in the same way as other forms of provision withgrassed areas primarily having an amenity or aesthetic value and visits to allotments beingundertaken for a specific working purpose.
24.3 In terms of frequency of usage (proportion of total visitors visiting a particular typology oncea week or more), the most frequently visited sites are allotments, grassed areas on housingestates and natural areas of green space. The figure for natural areas of greenspacedemonstrates that not only do a large proportion of residents use such sites, a significantproportion does so frequently, indicating a high intensity of use. The frequency of visits tolarge play areas, large parks and churchyards/cemeteries is relatively low.
24.4 The main reasons for non-usage of open space facilities are poor toilets, dog fouling andfears over personal security. Other reasons given included no quality refreshment, poormaintenance, lack of information, poor parking, poor play areas, lack of shelter and lack ofseating. Improving these elements is key in the future management of open spaces andencouraging higher usage.
24.5 Travel time is another key consideration in open space usage. The time residents areprepared to travel to open spaces shows variation across the typologies.To reach provisionsuch as allotments, small play areas, local parks and grassed areas on housing estates,residents were not willing to travel much further than a 15 minute walk. The time they areprepared to travel to reach large parks, natural areas of green space and large play areasis half an hour or more. In terms of means of travel, residents travel a short distance andmost frequently walk to local provision and will travel a longer distance and most commonlyuse the car to visit larger provision with better facilities.
24.6 The provision of open space is generally rated as important by residents.This is particularlytrue for natural areas of green space, large parks and local parks. Lower ratings ofimportance were given to allotments and grassed areas on housing estates thusdemonstrating that there is a strong correlation between the proportion of people that visitan open space and how important it is perceived to be.
Table 5: Summary of Consultation Findings
Summary
There is high usage (and frequency of use) for natural areas of greenspace, large and localparks.The typologies with lowest use are allotments and grassed areas on housing estates.Reasons for not using open spaces include the range and quality of provision and amenities.
29
Summary of Consultation Findings 24
The perception of safety is a key barrier to usage of open spaces by Calderdale residents– litter, vandalism, graffiti and young people ‘hanging around’ all contribute to negativeperceptions and must be dealt with quickly.The provision of open space is rated as important, especially for natural areas of greenspace,large and local parks.The provision of good quality public transport is key to increasing the accessibility of openspaces.Disability access is improving, but further work is required.
24.7 A full account of the 2006 consultation findings can be found in section 2 of the Open SpaceSport and Recreation Study, 2006.

24 Summary of Consultation Findings
25.1 Accessibility mapping for all relevant typologies can be found in Appendix 8. Quality ofprovision scores for each site can be found in the Typology Site lists (Tables 8-16).
Parks and Gardens
Introduction
25.2 This typology, as set out in PPG17: A Companion Guide, covers urban parks, country parksand formal gardens (including designated landscapes), which provide ‘accessible highquality opportunities for informal recreation and community events.’
Quality of provision
25.3 The quality of Parks and Gardens in Calderdale is generally good with the Brighouse andElland areas scoring consistently well. Quality scores in the Halifax, Mytholmroyd,Northowram and Shelf, Ripponden, Sowerby Bridge and Todmorden areas are morevariable. Hebden Bridge is the only area where the quality of provision scores for Parksand Gardens are consistently poor. District wide, six parks currently hold a Green Flag withtwo others aiming for the award though the work of Friends Groups.
Accessibility
25.4 Provision of Parks and Gardens in Calderdale is variable with a distinct East West divide.In the East of the District, access to parks and gardens is very good with the areas ofHalifax, Brighouse, Northowram and Shelf, Elland and Sowerby Bridge all having goodcatchment area coverage. In the West of the District, provision is more variable withmoderate to good catchment area coverage in the valley bottoms of Hebden Bridge,Mytholmroyd and Todmorden with poor coverage in the more sparsely populated parts ofthese areas. The Ripponden area as a whole has poor access to parks and gardens.
Key Issues
The quality of Parks and Gardens in Calderdale is generally good with accessibilitybeing more variable.Significant infrastructure improvements have been carried out in recent years throughsection 106 funding from housing developments which has been used to match fundmonies raised through grant applications by community groups. The CommunityInfrastructure Levy (CIL) which came into force on 1st April 2015 restricts financialcontributions through section 106 agreements. Ultimately this type of infrastructure willbe secured through CIL, once the Council has adopted a charging schedule; however,there are several stages of work to go through before this can be done, and this isunlikely to happen until April 2016 at the earliest.
Natural and Semi-Natural Greenspaces
Introduction
25.5 This typology, as set out in PPG17: A Companion Guide, covers natural and semi-naturalgreenspaces, including urban woodland, which provide ‘wildlife conservation, biodiversityand environmental education and awareness’.

Typology Based Assessment and Analysis 25
Quality of provision
25.6 The quality of Natural and Semi-Natural Greenspaces in Calderdale is generally good withthe Elland, Halifax, Mytholmroyd, Northowram and Shelf and Sowerby Bridge areas scoringconsistently well. Quality scores in the Brighouse, Hebden Bridge and Todmorden areasare more variable. Ripponden is the only area where the quality of provision scores forNatural and Semi-Natural Greenspaces are consistently poor.
Accessibility
25.7 Calderdale is well provided for in terms of Natural and Semi-Natural Greenspaces withgood coverage throughout the district. The majority of the population live within or in closeproximity to the catchment areas of this typology with only the more sparsely populatedareas affected by deficits.
Key Issues
25.8 The quality of and access to Natural and Semi-Natural Greenspaces in Calderdale is good.
Green Corridors
Introduction
25.9 This typology, as set out in PPG17: A Companion Guide, covers green corridors, whichprovide ‘walking, cycling or horse riding, whether for leisure purposes or travel, andopportunities for wildlife migration’.
Quality of Provision & Accessibilty
25.10 Analysis of the quality of provision and accessibility of Green Corridors in Calderdale is nota straight forward task. Most Green Corridors are made up of a number of smaller siteswhere Green Corridors are the sub- typology and other typologies, such as AmenityGreenspace and Natural/Semi-Natural Greenspace, are the primary typology. As such,Quality of Provision and Accessibility scores cannot be meaningfully analysed as part ofthis update.
25.11 Notwithstanding this, separate work detailing Green Corridors has previously been completedby the Council. This work gives an insight into quality of provision and accessibility and isdetailed below:

Typology Based Assessment and Analysis 25
Key Issues
25.12 Whilst Green Corridors have not been scored using the same methodology as the othertypologies, the quality of these areas and their accessibility would appear to be good. Itshould be noted that a detailed descriptive is provided for Green Corridors of regionalimportance in the District in Appendix 6: Regional Green Corridor Descriptions.
Amenity Greenspace
Introduction
25.13 This typology, as set out in PPG17: A Companion Guide, covers amenity greenspaces,which provide ‘opportunities for informal activities close to home or work or enhancementof the appearance of residential or other areas.’
Quality of provision
25.14 The quality of Amenity Greenspace in Calderdale is variable with some areas scoring muchbetter than others. The Brighouse, Halifax and Northowram and Shelf areas all scoreconsistently well, with scores for the Elland, Mytholmroyd, Ripponden, Sowerby Bridge andTodmorden areas being more variable. Hebden Bridge is the only area where the qualityof provision scores for Amenity Greenspace are consistently poor.
Accessibility
25.15 Calderdale is generally well provided for in terms of Amenity Greenspace with good coveragein both the urban areas in the East of the District and the valley bottoms to the West. Themajority of the population live within or in close proximity to the catchment areas of amenitygreenspace with only the more sparsely populated areas affected by deficits.
Key Issues
The quality of Amenity Greenspace in Calderdale is variable with access being good.There is potential for change of use at some sites to correct deficiencies in othertypologies in the area.
Provision for Children and Teenagers
Introduction
25.16 This typology, as set out in PPG17: A Companion Guide, covers ‘areas designed primarilyfor play and social interaction involving children and young people, such as equipped playareas, ball courts, skateboard areas and teenage shelters.’
Quality of provision
25.17 Since the 2006 strategy a number of sites have been refurbished through the Government’sPlay Builder Programme and the Council’s capital programme. Notwithstanding this, thequality of Provision for Children and Teenagers in Calderdale is variable with some areasscoring much better than others. The Elland area scores consistently well, with scores forthe Halifax and Ripponden areas being more variable. In Brighouse and Todmorden thequality of provision scores for Children and Teenagers are generally poor.
36
25 Typology Based Assessment and Analysis
25.18 It should be noted that work separate to this Open Space Update has been completed bythe Council detailing the quality of provision for Children and Teenagers in the District. Thiswork is summarised in Appendix 7: Provision for Children and Teenagers.
Accessibilty
25.19 Whilst Provision for Children and Teenagers is generally good within the urban populatedareas of Brighouse, Elland, Halifax and Sowerby Bridge, some small pockets of deficit areevident in these areas. Similarly, provision in the populated valley bottoms of the HebdenBridge, Mytholmroyd and Todmorden areas is generally good with limited provision in themore remote sparsely populated parts of these areas. The Northowram and Shelf area asa whole has poor provision for Children and Teenagers.

Key Issues
The quality of Provision for Children and Teenagers in Calderdale is variable withaccess being good.Future improvements to facilities will have greater reliance on fund raising by communitygroups.
Allotments, Community Gardens and Urban Farms
Introduction
25.20 This typology, as set out in PPG17: A Companion Guide, covers allotments, communitygardens and urban farms, which provide ‘opportunities for those people who wish to do soto grow their own produce as part of the long term promotion of sustainability, health andsocial inclusion.’
Quality of provision
25.21 The quality of Provision for Allotments, Community Gardens and Urban Farms in Calderdaleis variable with some areas scoring much better than others. The Brighouse and Halifaxareas score consistently well, with scores for the Elland, Hebden Bridge, Northowram andShelf and Sowerby Bridge areas being more variable. Mytholmroyd, Ripponden andTodmorden are the only areas where the quality of provision scores for Allotments,Community Gardens and Urban Farms are consistently poor.
37
Typology Based Assessment and Analysis 25
Accessibility
25.22 Allotments and Community Gardens clearly demonstrate a deficit in their provision districtwide and this is evidenced by local waiting lists for allotments in a large number of areas.Accessibility to this typology is particularly poor in Mytholmroyd and Ripponden. InTodmorden, whilst there are long waiting lists at Council sites, a number of privately runsites have recently opened, partly through the Incredible Edible Todmorden movement.However, Halifax and Sowerby Bridge provide a sharp contrast to the rest of the districtwhere the level of provision is comparatively good. Also, waiting lists in some other areashave decreased due to the splitting of larger plots and more frequent inspections to ensureplots are cultivated.
25.23 In order to build on the success of Incredible Edible Todmorden, the Council is developinga community growing initiative to encourage people to grow their own food and are makingavailable any suitable council owned land.This will help increase access to Allotments andCommunity Gardens district wide.
Key Issues
The quality of Allotments and Community Gardens in Calderdale is variable with accessbeing poor.Some privately owned sites are not being used or the plot rental is high.
Cemeteries, Churchyards and other Burial Grounds
Introduction
25.24 This typology, as set out in PPG17: A Companion Guide, covers cemeteries, disusedchurchyards and other burial grounds, which provide ‘quiet contemplation and burial of thedead, often linked to the promotion of wildlife conservation and biodiversity’.
Quality of provision
25.25 The quality of Provision for Cemeteries, Churchyards and other Burial Grounds in Calderdaleis variable with some areas scoring much better than others. The Elland, Halifax andSowerby Bridge areas score consistently well, with scores for the Brighouse, Hebden Bridge,Mytholmroyd, Northowram and Shelf and Ripponden areas being more variable.Todmordenis the only area where the quality of provision scores for Cemeteries, Churchyards andother Burial Grounds are consistently poor.
25.26 Notwithstanding this, work creating and improving the condition of footpaths in operationalCemeteries has been completed since the last study. In addition to Council funded work,there are three active friends groups at sites managed by the Council who help withmaintenance and fund raising for improvement projects.
Accessibility
25.27 Provision of Cemeteries, Churchyards and other Burial Grounds in Calderdale is variablewith a distinct East West divide. In the East of the District, access to this typology is generallygood with the areas of Halifax, Brighouse, Northowram and Shelf, Elland and SowerbyBridge all having good catchment area coverage. In the West of the District, provision ismore variable with moderate to good catchment area coverage in the valley bottoms of
38
25 Typology Based Assessment and Analysis
Hebden Bridge and Todmorden with poor coverage in the more sparsely populated partsof these areas. The Mytholmroyd and Ripponden areas as a whole have poor access tocemeteries, churchyards and other burial grounds.
25.28 Specifically, there is a long standing issue of finding a suitable new burial site in Todmorden.A survey of 29 sites was conducted a few years ago and these are being re-examined.However, at present, the Council’s Bereavement Service is finding it difficult to locate asuitable site.
Key Issues
The quality of and access to Cemeteries, Churchyards and other Burial Grounds inCalderdale is variable.There is an urgent need for a new burial site in Todmorden.
Civic Spaces
Introduction
25.29 This typology, as set out in PPG17: A Companion Guide, covers civic and market squaresand other hard surfaced areas designed for pedestrians, which provide ‘a setting for civicbuildings, public demonstrations and community events.’
Quality of provision
25.30 The quality of Provision for Civic Spaces in Calderdale is generally poor. Halifax is the onlyarea to score consistently well, with scores for the Brighouse area being more variable.Elland, Hebden Bridge, Sowerby Bridge and Todmorden are all areas where the quality ofprovision scores for Civic Spaces are consistently poor. It should be noted, however, thata number of markets throughout the district have been upgraded since the original studyin 2006 and that the Piece Hall is currently undergoing a multimillion pound facelift.
Accessibility
25.31 By their nature, the accessibility of Civic Spaces throughout Calderdale is variable, withsome areas having better access than others.Those areas with relatively good accessibilityinclude Halifax and Brighouse. Accessibility to Civic Spaces is more variable in the Ellandand Todmorden areas with the remaining areas in the District as a whole having pooraccess.
Key Issues
25.32 The quality of Civic Spaces in Calderdale is generally poor with access being variable.
Outdoor Sports Facilities
Introduction
25.33 This typology, as set out in PPG17: A Companion Guide, covers outdoor sports facilities(with natural or artificial surfaces and either publicly or privately owned) - including tenniscourts, bowling greens, sports pitches, golf courses, athletics tracks, school and otherinstitutional playing fields, and other outdoor sports areas.

25 Typology Based Assessment and Analysis
Typology Site Lists
26.1 The typology site lists at the end of each area section have been compiled using informationfrom the 2006 audit together with that obtained from the new site audits. Comments havebeen included from the 2006 audit supplemented with any known changes which haveoccurred since then. Some sites which have a low quality and value score may have potentialfor change of use or disposal. Whilst this study makes recommendations regarding siteretention, a full analysis of open space within the catchment of these sites would be requiredbefore a particular course of action is taken. Following completion of the Open SpaceUpdate, the data is now available to carry out this analysis when required.
26.2 It should be noted that Quality and Value scores are not available for those sites that havebeen carried forward from the 2006 study where the site was not visited as part of theoriginal study and has not been revisited as part of the 2015 update.
Accessibility Mapping
26.3 Accessibility mapping of all relevant typologies for each Local Plan Area can be found inAppendix 8 'Accessibility Mapping'.
Brighouse
Introduction
26.4 The Settlement Hierarchy identifies Brighouse (including Bailiff Bridge, Hipperholme, HoveEdge, Lightcliffe and Rastrick) as a principal town and as such it has the second mostsignificant role after Halifax. Its role is as a main focus for housing, employment, shopping,leisure, education, health and cultural facilities whilst also providing good transport linksbetween Brighouse and other surrounding towns and cities.
Quality of provision
26.5 The quality of open spaces in the Brighouse area is generally good. Parks and Gardens,Amenity Green Space and Allotments and Community Gardens generally score highly interms of qualitative and value rating.The quality of Cemeteries, Semi Natural Greenspacesand Civic Spaces is variable with some areas scoring much better than others.The typologythat scores comparatively poorly in the Brighouse area is Provision for Children andTeenagers. However, low quality scores do not mean that a particular area of open spaceis not important and is not well used.
Quantitative Value
26.6 Brighouse is generally well provided for in terms of Parks and Gardens with good catchmentcoverage in the urban areas of Brighouse, Balliff Bridge, Rastrick and Hippholme andLightcliffe. The majority of the population live within the catchment area of a district or alocal park with fewer people living in close proximity to a small park or garden. However,whilst the coverage of Parks and Gardens is poor in the far east and far west of theBrighouse area, these areas are more sparsely populated and less people are affected bythis deficit. Also, there is the potential to improve facilities at some sites to compensate forthis deficit. For example, at Clifton in the west of the Brighouse area, there is the potentialto enhance the grounds at St John’s church to function as a small garden.
41
Area Based Assessment and Analysis 26
26.7 To a lesser degree, the same general pattern of provision is also evident for the other openspace typologies to include Natural and Semi Natural Areas, Provision for Children andTeenagers and Amenity Greenspace. However, some typologies have better provision thanothers and some deficits are evident. Allotments and Community Gardens clearlydemonstrate a deficit in their provision and this is evidenced by local waiting lists forallotments.
Key Issues
26.8 Open space in Brighouse is generally well provided for and is of a good standard.

Area Based Assessment and Analysis 26
Elland and Greetland/Stainland
Introduction
26.9 The main town in this area is Elland (including West Vale and Greetland), defined as a localtown in the Settlement Hierarchy Study. As such its role is to provide housing, employment,shopping, leisure, education, health and cultural activities/facilities that serve the needs of,and are accessible to, residents of the town and surrounding lower order settlements.
26.10 The other main settlements are Holywell Green and Stainland which have been combinedin the Settlement Hierarchy Study as a local centre whose role is to provide for locallygenerated needs for housing, employment, shopping, leisure, education, health and culturalactivities/facilities which cannot be accommodated in higher order settlements. It also servesto provide transport links to higher order settlements. These also serve some of thesurrounding neighbourhood/small rural centres.
26.11 There are 6 neighbourhood/small rural centres contained within this wider area. These areAinley Top, Elland Upper Edge, Elland Lower Edge, Jagger Green, Outlane and SowoodGreen. Generally their role as defined by the Settlement Hierarchy study is to accommodatelimited development to provide for locally generated needs for affordable housing withinexisting development limits and to provide small scale opportunities for economicdevelopment and diversification.

Halifax
Introduction
26.15 The Calderdale Settlement Hierarchy identifies Halifax as a Sub-Regional town providingthe main focus for housing, employment, shopping and services as well as links to othertowns and cities within the Leeds City Region such as Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfieldand areas such as Greater Manchester and Lancashire. There are several distinct parts tothe town each with their own characteristics, perhaps the most obvious is Halifax towncentre and its immediate surrounds which contain the main retail core as well as the mainpublic transport hubs. The northern parts of the town including the areas of Mixenden,Illingworth and Ovenden are characterised by large estates of mono tenure housing andinclude some of the worst performing areas within Calderdale when compared against theindicies of multiple deprivation.The southern parts of Halifax are more affluent, particularlythe Savile Park and Skircoat areas, and is the location of Calderdale Royal Hospital asignificant local employer.
26.16 The Halifax area also contains six smaller closely related, yet separate, settlements.Theseare Southowram, Bank Top, Warley, Mount Tabor and Bradshaw.The Settlement Hierarchyidentifies Southowram as a Local Centre, albeit the smallest of this type of centre, andtherefore meets locally generated needs for housing, employment and services.
26.17 The settlements of Bank Top, Warley, Mount Tabor and Bradshaw are all currently identifiedas Neighbourhood/ Small Rural Centres within the Settlement Hierarchy. This is the lowestrank of settlement within the hierarchy recognising the limited availability of goods andservices within each settlement. All of the settlements are, however, closely related to thewider urban area of Halifax and are reliant upon the area for goods and services.
Quality of provision
26.18 The quality of open spaces in the Halifax area is generally good. Amenity Greenspace,Allotments and Community Gardens, Cemeteries and Churchyards, Green Corridors,Natural and Semi-Natural Greenspaces and Civic Spaces generally score highly in termsof qualitative and value rating.The quality of Parks and Gardens and Provision for Childrenand Teenagers is variable with some areas scoring much better than others.

26 Area Based Assessment and Analysis
Quantitative Value
26.19 Halifax is generally well provided for in terms of most Open Space typologies to includeParks and Gardens, Amenity Green Space, Natural and Semi-Natural Areas and Provisionfor Children and Teenagers. Deficits of provision are however evident for other typologieswith a number of densely populated areas to include large parts of North Halifax and thetown centre not falling within the catchment area of an Allotment or Community Gardenand/or a Cemetery or Churchyard.
Key Issues
Open space in Halifax is generally well provided for and is of a good standard.

Hebden Bridge
Introduction
26.20 The Calderdale Settlement Hierarchy identifies Hebden Bridge as a local town, meetingneeds for housing, employment and services generated locally and by surrounding lowerorder settlements. There are eight neighbourhood/small rural centres identified within theSettlement Hierarchy located within the area; Heptonstall, Pecket Well, Chiserley and OldTown, Charlestown, Callis Bridge, Slack and Blackshawhead. Many other smaller settlements
76
26 Area Based Assessment and Analysis
(such as Colden) exist based around the hilltop farmsteads, many of which are still in activeagricultural use today.
Quality of provision
26.21 The quality of open spaces in Hebden Bridge is variable. Allotments and CommunityGardens, Natural and Semi-Natural Greenspaces and Cemeteries and Churchyards allshow mixed quality and value ratings. Parks and Gardens, Civic Spaces and AmenityGreenspace generally score poorly with only a small number of sites scoring highly. GreenCorridors is the only typology that scores consistently highly in the Hebden Bridge area.
Quantitative Value
26.22 Open Space provision in Hebden Bridge is primarily focused in the valley bottoms. AmenityGreenspace and Natural and Semi-Natural Greenspaces are well provided for with goodcoverage in the valley bottoms and further coverage evident in more remote locations.Deficits of provision are however evident for other typologies with large areas to includeparts of the valley bottom not falling within the catchment areas of Allotments and CommunityGardens, Cemeteries and Churchyards, Parks and Gardens and Provision for Childrenand Teenagers. However, there is the potential to improve facilities at some AmenityGreenspace sites to compensate for the deficit of Parks and Gardens. Examples of siteswhere such potential exists include Eaves Recreation Ground, Heptonstall RecreationGround and Charlestown Recreation Ground.
Key Issues
26.23 Open Space in Hebden Bridge is focused in the valley bottoms and is of a variable standard.

Mytholmroyd (including Luddenden Dean and Cragg Vale)
Introduction
26.24 The Calderdale Settlement Hierarchy identifies both Mytholmroyd and Luddenden (includingLuddendenfoot) as local centres, meeting locally generated needs for housing, employmentand services. Mytholmroyd is the larger urban area, whilst Luddenden and the other villagesform much smaller urban areas with fewer services. There are two neighbourhood/small
85
Area Based Assessment and Analysis 26
rural centres within the area; Brearley and Midgley. Many other smaller settlements existbased around farmsteads and the minor transport routes.
Quality of provision
26.25 The quality of open spaces in Mytholmroyd is variable. Cemeteries and Churchyards, Parksand Gardens and Amenity Greenspace all show mixed quality and value ratings. Allotmentsand Community Gardens generally score poorly with only a small number of sites scoringhighly. Natural and Semi-Natural Greenspaces is the only typology that scores consistentlyhighly in the Mytholmroyd area.
Quantitative Value
26.26 Open Space provision in Mytholmroyd is variable. Natural and Semi-Natural Areas are wellprovided for with good even catchment coverage. Amenity Greenspace is well provided forin the valley bottoms but coverage is patchy elsewhere in the Mytholmroyd area. Deficitsof provision are however clearly evident for other typologies to include Cemeteries andChurchyards, Parks and gardens, Allotments and Community Gardens and Provision forChildren and Teenagers.
26.27 Some sites demonstrate the characteristics and functions of more than one open spacetypology with other sites having the potential to be converted from a typology that has asurplus of provision to one that has a deficit. For example, White Lee Recreation Groundis classified as Amenity Green Space but functions to some extent as and includes someof the facilities of a Local Park. Also, at Kershaw Estate there is potential to develop someof the Amenity Green Space into Allotments or Community Gardens.
Key Issues
26.28 The quality of and access to Open Space in Mytholmroyd is variable.

Northowram and Shelf
Introduction
26.29 Northowram and Shelf are located in the north east of Calderdale between Halifax andBradford.The majority of the developed land runs alongside the A6036 Bradford Road fromStump Cross through Northowram, Stone Chair and Shelf. Compared to other areas,Northowram and Shelf have fewer facilities and services overall; although both perform a'Local Centre' role in terms of the settlement hierarchy, providing for locally generated needsfor services.
Quality of provision
26.30 The quality and value rating of open spaces in Northowram and Shelf is variable. AmenityGreenspace and Natural and Semi-Natural Greenspaces generally score highly.The qualityand value rating of Allotments and Community Gardens and Cemeteries and Churchyardsare however variable with some areas scoring much better than others.
Quantitative Value
26.31 The Northowram and Shelf area is generally well provided for in terms of most Open Spacetypologies to include Parks and Gardens, Amenity Green Space , Natural and Semi-Natural

Areas and Cemeteries and Churchyards. However, whilst areas of deficit are evident forAllotments and Community Gardens and Provision for Children and Teenagers, some siteshave the potential to be converted from a typology that has a surplus of provision to onethat has a deficit. For example, Land adjacent to Green Lane (Ref 9083), which is classedas Natural/Semi-natural Green Space, could be used as amenity green space, allotmentsor provision for children and teenagers.
Key Issues
26.32 Access to Open Spaces in Northowram and Shelf is generally good. However, the qualityof Open Spaces in the area is variable.

Ripponden (Ryburn Valley)
Introduction
26.33 The Calderdale Settlement Hierarchy identifies Ripponden (including Rishworth) as a localcentre. As such its role is to meet locally generated needs for housing, employment andservices. There are also four defined neighbourhood/small rural centres within the area;Barkisland, Soyland, Mill Bank and Triangle. Other smaller settlements and hamlets exist,based around the hilltop farmsteads, many of which are still in agricultural use today.
26.34 The M62 is only five miles south of Ripponden centre and as a result the Ryburn valley isa significant commuter route from the Greater Manchester area through into Calderdale.The attractive rural environment and high commuting rates has led to a rapid increase inpopulation and high levels of new house building over the last decade.
Quality of Provision
26.35 The quality of open spaces in the Ripponden area is variable. Parks and Gardens, Provisionfor Children and Teenagers and Amenity Greenspace all show mixed quality and valueratings. Allotments and Community Gardens and Natural and Semi-Natural Greenspaces
96
26 Area Based Assessment and Analysis
score poorly with only a small number of sites scoring highly. Cemeteries and Churchyardsis the only typology that scores consistently highly in the Ripponden area.
Quantitative Value
26.36 Open Space provision in the Ripponden area is variable. Natural and Semi-Natural Areasare well provided for with good even catchment coverage. Amenity Greenspace is wellprovided for in and around the built up areas but coverage is poor elsewhere. Further deficitsof provision are evident for other typologies to include Cemeteries and Churchyards, Parksand Gardens, Allotments and Community Gardens and Provision for Children andTeenagers.
26.37 Some sites have the potential to be converted from a typology that has a surplus of provisionto one that has a deficit. For example, there is potential to change part of the AmenityGreenspace at St John’s Close (ref 445) to Allotments or Community Gardens.
Key Issues
26.38 The quality of and access to Open Space in Ripponden is variable.

Todmorden
Introduction
26.43 Todmorden is a market town that is located at the western end of the Upper Calder Valley.The Calderdale Settlement Hierarchy identifies Todmorden (including Walsden) as a localtown, meeting needs for housing, employment and services generated locally and bysurrounding lower order settlements.
Quality of provision
26.44 The quality and value rating of open spaces in the Todmorden area is variable. GreenCorridors score highly.The quality and value rating of Allotments and Community Gardens,Amenity Greenspace, Parks and Gardens and Natural and Semi-Natural Greenspaces ishowever variable with some areas scoring much better than others. The typologies thatscore comparatively poorly in the Todmorden area are Cemeteries and Churchyards,Provision for Children and Teenagers and Civic Spaces.
Quantitative Value
26.45 Open Space provision in the Todmorden area is primarily focused in the valley bottoms.Amenity Greenspace, Natural and Semi-Natural Greenspaces and Parks and Gardens arewell provided for in the valley bottoms with poor coverage evident in more remote locations.More extensive areas of deficit are however evident for other typologies to include Allotmentsand Community Gardens, Cemeteries and Churchyards and Provision for Children andTeenagers. Here, large areas of the valley bottom as well as more remote locations do notfall within the relevant typology catchment areas.
26.46 Some sites have the potential to be converted from a typology that has a surplus of provisionto one that has a deficit. For example, there is scope to develop a Community Garden onsome of the Amenity Green Space at Lennox Road (Ref 421).

26 Area Based Assessment and Analysis
27.1 The vision for the 2006 Open Space study was to make Calderdale a great place to work,rest and play for all, by providing good quality and accessible sport, recreational and openspace opportunities.
27.2 The 2006 study also set strategic aims and management objectives. The strategic aimswere to:
1. Provide usable, accessible and sustainable open spaces, sport and recreational facilitieswithin the Borough.
2. Seek to ensure that this provision is of an appropriate distribution, quantity and quality(New facilities will only be provided or supported if they contribute to the appropriatedistribution of facilities).
3. Encourage, support and develop partnerships with all owners, community groups andproviders of open space, sport and recreational facilities to secure public/communityuse of provision.
27.3 The management objectives, which needed to be implemented to enable the strategic aimsto be delivered, included:
1. Within a phased programme, improve the quality of all open spaces, sport andrecreational facilities including their ancillary facilities.
2. Use development opportunities and consult with local stakeholders to identify facilityneed and increase and/or improve the existing in line with the findings of the assessmentreports.
3. Develop a general framework to enable stakeholders, where needs have been identified,to implement development proposals.
4. Where sites may be lost, through development or closure ensure that appropriateprovision is made to meet the continued needs of residents through an assessmentof needs.
5. All partners and stakeholders to work together to provide usable, accessible and viableopen spaces, sport and recreational facilities.
6. Provide assistance and support to those facilities that have yet to meet DDArequirements and ensure that there is appropriate access.
7. Ensure that there is a clearly identified community and recreational need fordevelopment of new facilities with minimal displacement of usage from other sites.
8. Ensure that all new or replacement facilities are developed to meet minimumcontemporary specifications.
9. Continue to gather the views and opinions of local stakeholders.
27.4 The vision, aims and objectives set in the 2006 study are considered to still be relevantand have been retained in the 2015 update study.
115
Strategic Vision and Aims 27
28.1 This section sets out general objectives for the development of open space provision inCalderdale. It seeks to address the issues raised during the assessment and analysis ofOpen Spaces in this report.
28.2 The following targets were developed through the combination of information gatheredduring site visits and the catchment mapping carried out in 2006 and has been updatedwhere more current information is available. They reflect the key areas to be addressedover the lifetime of the Strategy. However, implementation must be considered in thecontext of financial implications and the need for some proposals to meet planningconsiderations.
Parks and Gardens
Develop and keep up to date management plans for all the major parks, focused onmaintaining site quality and encouraging use.Address perceptions of site quality and safety by encouraging greater use of sites.This work should include consideration of how buildings within parks and gardens canbest be utilised.Enhance the infrastructure of parks to host events.Develop structured programmes of events for main sites (linked to management plans).Upgrade site quality at sites which fall below the quality threshold.Continue to develop community involvement in the management of parks and gardens.Identify sites capable of achieving Green Flag and develop rolling programme ofsecuring award.Identify ways of decreasing anti-social behaviour and vandalism e.g., through increasedsecurity presence, improved lighting etc.Continue to improve access to provision e.g., car parking, upgrading paths.
Natural and Semi-Natural Greenspaces
Develop resource to enable delivery of biodiversity management, interpretation andenvironmental education to be enhanced.Continue to develop community involvement in the management of natural/semi naturalgreenspace.All agencies involved in the management of natural/semi natural green space in theBorough to work more closely together.Explore options to enhance management of woodlands.Identify mechanism by which local nature reserves will be managed and maintain theirdesignation.Enhance access to provision where appropriate.Upgrade site quality at sites which fall below quality threshold.Continue to develop community involvement in the management of natural/semi-naturalgreen spaces.Reinvigorate tree planting programmes.
Green Corridors
Develop strategy for addressing condition and improving signage of PROW networkwhere located in green corridors.Upgrade site quality where appropriate and encourage use to help meet activity targets.
116
28 Strategic Framework for Open Space Improvements
Continue to develop community involvement in the management of green corridors.Where appropriate, continue to improve access to provision (taking into accountdisability access).
Amenity Greenspace
Develop a programme of site enhancement, e.g., flower planting.Upgrade site quality at sites which fall below the quality threshold.Continue to develop community involvement in the management of amenity greenspace.Consider changing the function of low value or surplus sites to compensate for deficienttypologies.
Provision for Children and Teenagers
Continue to enhance the accessibility and inclusivity of play provision.Develop greater range of informal play provision.Review the future of all LAP sites in the context of their potential to be upgraded toprovide sites that meet the needs and expectations of local young people and theirparents. (However, there are some LAPs which have equipment and minimalmaintenance cost. These sites will be retained and reviewed when maintenance costsrise due to aging equipment).Upgrade site quality at sites, which fall below the quality threshold.Aim for all play areas to comply with safety standards EN 1175/1176.
Allotments, Community Gardens and City Farms
Upgrade allotment site security.Aim to provide water and toilet facilities at all allotment sites in Calderdale.Increase awareness of allotments and their value (in terms of wider social and healthimpact).Continue to develop programmes that utilise allotments to address broader issues.Enhance community involvement in the management of allotments and the developmentof allotment associations to manage sites.Upgrade site quality for sites below the quality threshold.Increase the role of Calderdale Leisure Gardeners Federation in the management anddevelopment of allotment sites.Build up a database of privately owned sites to include contact details and vacancies.Support community groups such as Incredible, Edible Todmorden which are workingto develop food growing sites.
Cemeteries, Disused Churchyards and Burial Grounds
Enhance access at sites, particularly in the context of access by disabled and elderly.Expand community involvement in the management of sites.Upgrade site quality at sites which fall below the quality threshold.
Civic Space
Explore opportunities for greater community involvement in the management of civicspaces.

Description of regional corridorCorridor name
The River Calder corridor includes the River Calder, the Calder and HebbleNavigation and the Rochdale Canal. It links with the North West region and
River Calder
the South Pennines SPA and runs from above Todmorden to the confluencewith the Aire. The corridor is relatively narrow, being largely contained withinthe steep sided valley, with wider sections – especially on meanders – takingin riverside greenspaces such as Cromwell Bottom, Atlas Mills and CliftonLagoons, which provide vital refuges for wildlife. The regeneration initiativeat Copley and Sowerby Bridge includes flood alleviation measures and greeninfrastucture improvement. British Waterways has plans to create a linearpark alongside the canal.
Within Calderdale, the Great Northern Trail runs from the northern boundarywith Bradford, branching at Shibden Park into the Hebble corridor which joins
RedBeck/ShibdenBeckHebble
the Calder at Salterhebble and the Red Beck corridor which joins the Calderat Brookfoot, Brighouse. It is a vital urban fringe link between the Aire andthe Calder and includes the LNR at Shibden Estate, a popular visitor attraction.The Shibden and Red Beck Valleys include woodland, grassland and wetlandin close proximity to urban areas.The Hebble Trail links into the national cyclenetwork.
The Colden Clough corridor runs from the South Pennines SPA at Coldendown to the River Calder at Mytholm. It is a highly attractive and ecologicallyrich valley with a stream flowing through ancient woodland
Colden Clough
Running down from the South Pennines SPA to the Calder at Hebden Bridge,the Crimsworth and Hardcastle corridor consists of a network of woodland,
Crimsworth &Hardcastle
pasture, hay meadow and streams. Large numbers of visitors are attacted toits key reatures; Lumb Falls, Hardcastle Craggs and Crimsworth Dean. Mostof the area is designated as LWS, LGS and SSSI and is owned and managedby the National Trust for the benefit of visitors.
Connecting the South Pennines SPA to the Calder at Luddenden Foot,Luddenden Dene is an attractive valley with a wide range of wildlife habitats
LuddendenDean
from open moorland to grasslands woodlands and streams. It includesJerusalem Farm which is a LNR, a popular community and environmentaleducation centre and camp site.
Starting in the SPA at Ogden the Wheatley Valley and Halifax Corridor runsthrough some of the most deprived areas in the country, linking to the Calder
Wheatley ValleyHalifax
at Copley. Part of the corridor running trhough urban central Halifax isdiscontinuous and will need innovative solutions to establish.
The Ryburn and Norland Moor corridor starts at the South Pennines SPA andruns down the Ryburn valley. One branch joins the Calder at Sowerby Bridge,
RyburnUpper RyburnNorland Moor the other runs through Norland Moor (LNR and LWS) and North Dean Woods
(LWS and LGS), both of which are Council owned, joining the Calder atSalterhebble. It is an important link from urban areas to open countryside withimportant wildlife habitats such as woodland, moorland, grassland andstreams.
