This chapter outlines the importance of public spaces as the centre point of most developments. It also outlines:
• Guidance on Local Areas of Play, Local Equipped Areas of Play and Neighbourhood Areas of Play including: buffer zones; surface treatments; informal surveillance; hard and soft landscaping to create natural scent, colour and texture; play equipment, and furniture for parents and carers; • Public art including locations, purpose and the briefing process for different types of outline applications.
• We support the key headings listed on the divider page 108 (9.0 Public Spaces).
• We suggest the headings from page 108 are carried over the the next page, and /or subheadings grouped into these categories; as the information presented on page 109 can appear overwhelming.
• The Chapter would benefit from a end of section Checklist to summarise design element considerations.
