Access to Green Space

Access to green space, using the Natural England green infrastructure standards within the West of England Combined Authority (including North Somerset). The figures are the number of households per Lower Super Output Area which have access to the standard of green space described.For full detail of the scenarios and standards please review the Technical Annexe. A summary is presented below.All green space – considered all accessible green spaces 2 hectares (ha) or larger, and a distance threshold of 1 kmAll green space with rights of way – considered all accessible green spaces 2 ha or larger as well as rural rights of way as a type of green space experience, and a distance threshold of 1 kmDoorstep standard – considered all accessible green spaces of at least 0.5 ha within 200 metres (under 5 mins walk from home). This scenario corresponds to Natural England’s Doorstep Accessible Greenspace standardLocal standard – considered all accessible green spaces of at least 2 ha within 300 metres (5 mins walk from home). This scenario corresponds to Natural England’s Local Accessible Natural GreenspaceNeighbourhood standard – considered all accessible green spaces of at least 10 ha within 1 km (15 minutes’ walk from home). This scenario corresponds to Natural England’s Neighbourhood Accessible Natural GreenspaceCombined – Scenarios 3 to 5 combined, where a household is considered to have access to green space if they meet the criteria of the doorstep scenario (Scenario 3) and the Local standard (Scenario 4) and the Neighbourhood standard (Scenario 5) concurrentlyPartial-combined – a mixture of Scenarios 3 to 5. In this scenario, households are considered to have accessible green space where the Neighbourhood standard (Scenario 5), and one of either the Doorstep standard (Scenario 3) or Local standard (Scenario 4) have been met
