The designation is problematical. The basis by which the playing fields are not Private Open Space is unexplained!

It is a single site with a single owner within a single curtilage. Policy CLBXb) mentions the ongoing management of the whole site as a single entity and as a place of special significance.

Additionally, the assertion in the URS Sustainability Appraisal p179 that the Convent is a brownfield site is clearly disputable. Also this report p41 states:of the allocated sites 20/79 will result in the loss of fully greenfield sites. Therefore the treatment of private open space is unsatisfactory.
