Natural England recommends that people living in towns and cities should have:

• an accessible natural green space less than 300 metres (in a straight line) from home
• Statutory Local Nature Reserves provided at a minimum level of one ha per thousand people
• at least one accessible 20 ha site within 2km of home; one accessible site of 100ha within 5km of home; and one accessible site of 500 ha within 10km of home.
Many local authorities have since incorporated these targets into their local plans, these would be example targets for Rother District Council development framework.
