Open Space Assessment for Plan:MK (2018)

Milton Keynes Council has prepared an Open Space Assessment that is now part of the evidence base for Plan:MK.  The intention of the study is to understand the quantity, quality and accessibility of open space provision within the borough.  In turn, to ensure that public open space is provided for as part of new development and protected appropriately.

A final consultation took place between April and May. This consisted of three drop-in sessions which were held at the council's Civic offices.  The intention was to further ensure the accuracy of the maps.

The final revised open space maps are provided below:

A second consultation took place in winter 2017 and it closed on Wednesday 20 December 2017.  The council has reviewed each response and revised the open space maps accordingly.

A consultation survey questionnaire was used to help us gather more information about open space in the Borough and capture views of the local communities on the quality and value of the open space.  It also includes the maps showing open spaces that are being proposed for assessment.
