8.0 Vision

A vision for parks in Coventry as a whole has been set within the Green Space Strategy developed in accordance with PPG17 and states:

‘To provide attractive, high quality, accessible green spaces that are well maintained, safe, clean and are important to local people. This will be achieved through clear, open and robust planning policies that ensure green space contributes to local character and plays an important role in everyday life of residents whilst supporting the regeneration of the city.’

The vision for Coombe Abbey Park has been set as:

‘Integrate our management of the country park as an integral part of the Coventry and Warwickshire landscape while achieving the conservation and repair of the historic character, features and buildings on site and maximising benefits for biodiversity and visitor enjoyment and articulating the historical significance of its origins.’
