General information about your request

Please outline the nature of your request:

Please outline the reasons for the proposal, why this space was chosen, and who the beneficiaries are:

How will the proposal benefit the space and its users?

Does the proposal affect the whole of the space?

Yes

No

If no, then please ensure the area affected is clearly represented on the plans you provide with your application.

Is the primary purpose of the proposal to avoid, adapt or mitigate the actual or anticipated effects of climate change; and/or to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including toward a target of 'net zero'?

Yes

No

In principle Fields in Trust is supportive of changes and adaptations to a protected green space that relate to improving or enhancing environmental benefits associated with climate change and net zero. However, in some cases replacement land may be required in accordance with our Disposal Policy and we will advise you of the need to put forward an alternative space once we have reviewed your application.

Examples of proposals coming under this category that require Fields in Trust's consent are: turbines of any size or number not directly benefitting the protected space; solar panels on the ground or where solar power generated is to be used beyond the protected space for wider climate change mitigation objectives; flood prevention requiring erection of structures; electric car charging points where the car parking area will be extended.

Please state what the current use of the space/part of the space/building is, and if the proposal affects the current use:
