Highland Local Development Plan
Play Sufficiency Assessment
A Play Sufficiency Assessment (PSA) is the assessment of play spaces to understand the provision and quality of play spaces, and accessibility of play opportunities.
Highland Council has prepared a draft Play Sufficiency Assessment, in accordance with the statutory requirements and have regard to associated Scottish Government guidance.
The PSA has identified and assessed formal and informal play spaces in Highland, within Settlement Development Areas predominantly, as defined in Local Development Plans, to understand what facilities and functions different play spaces offer and where they may have limitations. Additional evaluation of accessibility and inclusivity of play spaces has also been undertaken.
The PSA is part of the evidence base which will inform the preparation of the new Highland Local Development Plan. It will also benefit Highland communities and stakeholders of play spaces, and will be used by Council officers and elected members involved in decision-making around the provision, improvement, and long-term management of play spaces.
