Open Space Definition

What is the Problem? -   a summary
The definition in S19(4) states that Open Space is “any land laid out as a public garden, or used for the purposes of public recreation, or land being a disused burial ground. Has no consideration of TVGs or Open Access Land. It is not clear if such land  is automatically classed as being used for purposes of recreation. It is also not clear how these lands are to be treated in a CPO situation if not automatically POS – is exchange land needed? The point needs to be clarified.
