P-04-584 Wales Planning Bill to Protect Town and Village Greens in Wales

We call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to legislate to ensure that the public and their needs for public open space in Wales is favoured against private developers, land bankers and Local authority Local development plans.

Because the notion of accessible open space in Wales used for sports, recreation and pastimes for over 20 years should be protected and enhanced in the public interest for the citizens in Wales. The guidance and law should reflect the importance of town and village greens to the many communities in Wales.
