The development of the Guide for Open Space Strategies (GOSS) delivers on one of the tasks within the enabling action ‘modernise legislation, standards and guidelines’ set out in Open Space for Everyone.
It guides public open space managers in preparing local open space strategies. These open space strategies are critical to help to protect, optimise and grow the existing open space network.
The GOSS aims to stimulate thinking and guide strategic planning and decision making about current and future provision and design of open space at a local scale.
