Greenspace Strategy

Salford City Council recognise the importance of open space to the quality of life of local people. Officers have prepared a strategy for the city that seeks to ensure that everyone has good access to high quality greenspaces of all types.

Salford Greenspace Strategy Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) provides a comprehensive spatial strategy for the protection and enhancement of green space resource throughout the city. It, among other things, sets local standards for the provision of green space in the city; highlights deficiency areas within the city; identifies key sites for provision and improvements to informal recreation; and recommends where access improvements should be carried out to, and between, open space sites.

Salford Greenspace Strategy focuses on all types of green space found throughout the urban area and urban fringe. These will include sports pitches, formal parks, equipped play facilities, country parks, woodland, allotments and other open land as well as the cycle routes, footpaths, canal towpaths and river walkways that connect these areas.

Public Consultation took place between Friday 17 February and Thursday 30 March 2006.

The Greenspace Strategy SPD was adopted by the council on 19 July 2006.

The Greenspace Strategy SPD and the supporting documents are available to download through the links at the foot of this page.

Greenspace Strategy Monitoring identifies the progress made up until the end of March 2009.
