Greenspace mapping review and consolidation - East Dunbartonshire

1.0 â&#x20AC;˘ Background to the Study 1.1 Introduction In 2004, Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), Forestry Commission Scotland (FCS) and the Glasgow and Clyde Valley Structure Plan Joint Committee (GCVSPJC) carried out a pilot project to map greenspace in the Glasgow and Clyde Valley area. This pilot study involved the development of a consistent methodology for mapping and characterising greenspace which could be adopted across other Scottish local authorities. The methodology that was developed used Aerial Photo Interpretation (API) to classify Ordnance Survey (OS) MasterMap features according to a recognised open space typology. The scope of the study included all settlements in the GCV area with a population greater than 3000 people. For the purpose of the review of East Dunbartonshire some settlements with less than 3000 people have been included. This was to ensure consistency with the East Dunbartonshire local plan settlements and to allow all sites that has already been assessed for quality to be included.

The methodology the steering group developed expanded the nine suggested open space types in PAN 65 to give a more detailed breakdown of open space types within each of the nine original classes. The original pilot methodology also developed a generalised land use classification for all non greenspace areas leading to a complete picture of land use within the study area. This final map has become known as the Glasgow and Clyde Valley Green Network Map. The full land use typology is illustrated in Figure 2.

This has resulted in a more robust approach with more accurate outputs being produced. East Dunbartonshire Council was one of the areas covered in the original mapping exercise. Due to issues relating to the dissemination and support for the data when it was launched, East Dunbartonshire Council developed a separate open space dataset to support their open space audit. This dataset is also based upon MasterMap but uses a slightly different typology to classify open space. The situation within many of the other GCV councils is similar to that in East Dunbartonshire with the Green Network Map not having been utilised as much as had been hoped.

1.2 Purpose of the Study The aim of this study was to review the original GCV Green Network map for the East Dunbartonshire Council area using the amended greenspace scotland methodology. In particular it was important that all other locally available data sources were considered and utilised where relevant. This would result in an up to date greenspace map of the study area for use by local authority staff.

The typology that was used to classify open space types was developed from advice contained in Planning Advice Note (PAN) 65. Published in 2003, PAN 65 identified nine key open space types that you would expect to find in our urban areas.

Almost as important, a methodology for reviewing and updating the Green Network Map was to be developed that could be used to update the map for all authorities within the GCV area. There were also a couple of additional objectives that were to be addressed as part of this study. The first of these was to develop an approach for integrating information on greenspace quality into the greenspace map. Secondly, an approach for assessing the levels of access to greenspace was to be developed. Again these additional objectives were to be developed with a view to these being used more widely in the GCV area and beyond.

greenspace scotland has subsequently adapted this approach for the greenspace mapping work they have supported across local authorities in Scotland. To date this methodology has been adopted by a further 15 Scottish local authorities outwith the Glasgow and Clyde Valley area.

Fig. 1 PAN 65

The key difference in the greenspace scotland approach is the use of a number of other data sources to assist the API process and increased engagement with local authority staff during the interpretation process.

A steering group was formed to manage this project. The steering group was made up of staff from East Dunbartonshire Council, Scottish Natural Heritage and the Glasgow and Clyde Valley Green Network Partnership. The individuals representing each organisation are listed below. Keith Scrimgeour - Greenspace Development Co-ordinator, EDC Lesley Scott - Greenspace Officer, EDC Catherine Mullen - Corporate Data Custodian (GIS/CAG), EDC Scott Ferguson - Advisory Officer, SNH Ally Corbett - Development Officer, GCVGNP Kenny Monteath - GIS Manager, EDAW

Greenspace mapping review and consolidation - East Dunbartonshire

2.0 • The Methodology 2.1 Data Review and Update The key element of this study was to review and update the Green Network Map for East Dunbartonshire so that it is up to date, accurate and conforms to a consistent typology. It is essential that the method used for East Dunbartonshire is transferable to other GCV local authorities.

available at the time of the original mapping. Datasets that were used included:

The method used for the review and update of the data consisted of the following stages.

• Updated MasterMap

1. Identification of change between 2008 MasterMap features and original Green Network Map - An up to date version of MasterMap was supplied by EDC as the base for updating the Green Network Map. The first task was to identify any differences between the datasets in terms of their geometry or attribution. This was achieved by comparing the Topographic Identifier (Toid) of every feature in the Green Network map with the up to date version of MasterMap. The Toid is a unique identifier which allows every feature within MasterMap to be traced through time. Using the Toid it is possible to determine whether any change has occured to a feature over a period of time.

• OS Addresspoint

For all features where the Toid and Version number were the same in each dataset it could be assumed that these features had not changed since the original mapping exercise. Where there was a discrepancy in version numbers identified this means that the feature has either changed its shape or its attributes have been altered. These features were highlighted for further investigation during the update stage. Where a Toid exists in the Green Network Map but not in the 2008 version of MasterMap this means that the feature has been deleted usually because a number of features have been amalgamated into one larger feature with a new Toid. For example areas where redevelopment is taking place may well exhibit this type of behaviour as buildings are demolished leaving a large expanse of waste ground. Where a Toid exists in the 2008 version of MasterMap but not in the Green Network Map this signifies the creation of a new feature. This happens a lot where new development has taken place with typical new features being buildings, gardens and roads. Every new feature was highlighted for further investigation during the update stage. 2. Prior to updating the Green Network Map it was necessary to transfer all classified types to the new MasterMap base. Where Toids matched between the two datasets each Primary and Secondary code was transferred from the Green Network Map to the new MasterMap base. 3. Updating the typology information - The next stage required a detailed visual review of all data contained in the Green Network Map supported by a number of updated and additional data sources that were not

• Updated aerial photography

• Corporate Address Gazzetteer

• OS 1:10,000 Scale mapping • EDC Greenspace audit • Numerous Local data sources

Updating the Green Network Map typology requires a manually intensive process of reviewing in detail all features within every 1km x 1km square in the study area and applying changes where neccessary. The review process uses the same API rule book as that used by greenspace scotland for their greenspace mapping projects. A copy of this rule book can be obtained from greenspace scotland. It is also important when changes are made to record the reasons for change. This will help users to understand not only how greenspace is changing but the reasons behind the change. All information is recorded in the attribute table of the revised dataset making this information available for any future analysis. The revised attribute table contains the fields shown in Figure 3.

Comments - This field provides any comments from the interpreter. This field is generally used when an interpreter is unclear what classification to assign to a feature. Method - This field denotes whether a feature was classified by the pre-classification or whether it was classified using the manual API method or whether it was derived from the original GCVJSP greenspace dataset and has been left unchanged. Change_PLU - Where a change has been made to the original GCVJSP classification the original code will be added to this field and a change reason added. Change_SLU - Where a change has been made to the original GCVJSP classification or a secondary code has been added, the original GCVJSP code is copied to this field and a change reason added. Change_Reason - This field contains the reason for why any GCVJSP classification codes have been changed or added to. PLU_Class - This field contains the text description associated with the primary greenspace classification code assigned to a particular feature. SLU_Class - This field contains the text description associated with the secondary greenspace classification code assigned to a particular feature. Site_id - This field is only used when the feature is part of a surveyed site from the EDC qualitative assessment. The number recorded is the unique site identifier of the relevant site in the qualitative assessment, allowing both the quantity and quality of spaces to be assessed together. The need for this information is explained further in section 2.2. Site_id2 - This field is only used when a feature form part of two sites from the EDC qualitative assessment.

Fig. 3. Greenspace Review Attribute Fields

Figure 3 does not show all fields contained in the attribute table, only those added by the greenspace mapping and review process. A description of the information recorded in each field can be found below. Primary_LU - This field contains the Primary land use classification. Secondary_LU - This field contains a Secondary land use classification where it is applicable.

All changes were made using a customised tool to ensure consistent recording of features. The result of this process is an updated greenspace map showing the most up to date information on the typology of greenspace using the sources available. Greenspace maps for all areas in the study area can be found in the results section.

The Methodology â&#x20AC;˘ 2.0 2.2 Incorporating quality with quantity In addition to reviewing and updating the information on the extent and type of the open space resource within East Dunbartonshire a requirement was also identified to link the revised open space mapping to the results of a qualitative assessment carried out in 2003. This was carried out on a selection of 204 sites throughout the council area covering a range of types and uses.

It is therefore necessary to accurately re-capture these boundaries using the more detailed MasterMap base. All boundaries where possible have followed MasterMap geometry. Where this has not been possible the boundary will cut across MasterMap features. This will improve the ability of users to analyse the open space dataset accurately.

In addition to boundaries changing because of the need to follow the MasterMap base it also became apparent that a number of the sites that formed part of the qualitative assessment had been either partially or wholly developed on. Where these instances were discovered a revised boundary was captured to show the new extent of the site.

The methodology used for this qualitative assessment assessed each space for Function, Condition and Quality to give an overall combined score of the overall quality of the site. This information had been recorded in a GIS dataset containing each site boundary. The challenge was to link the 2003 assessment to the revised and updated greenspace map in a way that could be replicated across the rest of the Glasgow and Clyde Valley. The easiest way to do this is to identify all features within each site boundary and allocate them the same site_id as the open space they relate to. This is the reason the site_id and site_id2 fields were added to the attribute table of the greenspace mapping. There were however some obstacles that needed to be addressed before this process could be tackled accurately. The original dataset for the qualitative assessment had been captured from a OS 1:10,000 scale map base. This meant that the boundaries that the qualitative assessment are based on do not match the new MasterMap base. This mis-match is likely to cause major problems later when attempts are made to analyse the extent and type of open space within each surveyed site. This will also be the case in all likelihood in the remaining seven GCV local authorities.

Some sites were also duplicated within the assesment and other sites had to be removed as they no longer existed. This left a total of 197 sites for which qualitative information existed. Each site has been given a unique identifier which it will retain from now on. Figure 4. shows the full list of site ids and names.

Greenspace mapping review and consolidation - East Dunbartonshire

The Methodology â&#x20AC;˘ 2.0 Once each site boundary has been captured accurately, each feature in the greenspace map that intersects it is also allocated the same site_id number and this is recorded in the site_id field of the greenspace map. Having made this link it is then possible to link the site boundaries associated with the qualitative assessment to the information contained in the greenspace mapping using the site_id. Figure 5 illustrates the concept of applying the site_id to the greenspace data.

Fig. 6 greenspace quality guidance

greenspace scotland and GCVGNP have an important advisory role to play in shaping the development of new quality assessments by encouraging local authorities to use the guidance. Where existing quality assessments are in place these authorities should be encouraged to revise their assessments in line with the guidance. Fig. 5. Applying a unique site identifier

This simple approach could be used to integrate information on quality into the Green Network Map for all local authorities in the GCV area. This approach will not tackle the issue of consistency of qualitative data across the GCV area however. Up until recently there has not been any guidance for local authorities to help them assess the quality of their open spaces. This has meant that across the GCV area it is likely that a number of different methods have been used to record quality making it difficult to make a GCV wide assessment of the quality of open space provision.

The results of the integration of the qualitative and quantitative aspects are illustrated in the Results section. The East Dunbartonshire Qualitative assessment was carried out in 2004 and has not been based on these guidelines. This assessment is going to be reviewed at a later date using the new greenspace quality guidelines.

The GCVGNP and greenspace scotland have recently published guidance on this matter, providing a toolkit for local authorities to use to develop qualitative assessments. The proposed approach will make existing qualitative information accessible through the Green Network map. It will not revise existing quality assessments in line with the greenspace quality guidance. This would require a separate assessment exercise to be carried out.

Greenspace mapping review and consolidation - East Dunbartonshire

2.0 • The Methodology 2.3 Assessing levels of access to greenspace At the project inception meeting two methods for assessing access to greenspace were discussed. These were using either a straight line distance or a network distance to measure how far people have to travel in order to reach their open space. A network distance measure uses the actual routes that a person would have to use to get to a space whereas a straight line distance doesn’t take this into account. Using the network method is more accurate but also more time consuming, whereas the straight-line distance is less accurate but also takes a lot less time to calculate. A decision was taken by the steering group to adopt the network analysis approach for assessing the levels of access that the residents of East Dunbartonshire have to their open space. Figure 7 illustrates the information that is required to calculate the catchment area of a site using network analysis.

site entrances were initially captured using API techniques. These were then checked and revised by local authority staff to ensure the entrances were as accurate as possible. This is a cost effective method of gathering this information as it reduces the need for costly site visits. Alternatively, site entrances could be checked out at the same time qualitative assessments are being carried out or are being reviewed on site. 2. A pedestrian network describing the routes that are available to pedestrians in the area. The network will usually be made up from a number of different sources. On this occassion the network has been compiled from three main sources: • OS Integrated Transport Network - this is used for all road information • Scottish Paths Record - this provides good information on the location of more informal routes eg. paths, lanes, desire lines etc. • Local EDC route information - this provided information on footpaths and Rights of Way. This information is compiled to create a network based upon the best available information. Once all the information has been gathered and built into a functioning network it is then possible to start calculating catchment areas for each site and analysing the numbers of people that have access to a site within a certain distance threshold.

Fig. 8 Analysing population that can access a site

Catchment areas describe the area which can be reached from a certain point using a specified distance threshold. For example, the standard distance threshold that was agreed for East Dunbartonshire was 400m from every site. The analysis calculates how far along the network 400m is from each site entrance. The catchment area is illustrated in figure 7 by the green shading. The analysis outputs can then be used to learn more about the provision of open space in a particular area. Figure 8 illustrates how the catchment area can then be used to quantify the number of addresses and population that have access to a site within a catchment. Fig. 7 Network analysis components

In order to be able to measure access to open space using network analysis there is some key information that is required. These are: 1. Site entrances - The location of site entrances must be gathered. These are very important as these are the key access points for the public to gain entry to a site. If these are located incorrectly this can have a significant effect on the results of any analysis. All

Greenspace mapping review and consolidation - East Dunbartonshire

The Results • 3.0 As part of the commission EDAW were tasked with carrying out a range of analyses on the updated data to demonstrate how it can be used for a range of tasks. This section describes the analysis that has been carried out and the results for each area of analysis. Six examples of typical analysis that can be carried out using this data were agreed with the steering group. These were: 1. Accessibility of all play areas in East Dunbartonshire using the EDC playgrounds dataset and a 400m distance threshold. The EDC dataset was modified to remove two playgrounds which no longer exist as a result of development. 2. Accessibility from all sites surveyed in the qualitative assessment using a distance threshold of 400m. 3. Accessibility to Local Parks as defined in the EDC Greenspace Strategy using a distance threshold of 400m. 4. Accessibility to Neighbourhood Parks as defined in the EDC Greenspace Strategy using a distance threshold of 1200m. 5. Accessibility to natural/ semi-natural sites. Natural/ semi-natural sites are defined as any site with greater than 0.2 ha of natural/ seminatural open space type using a distance threshold of 1200m. 6. Temporal comparison analysis of Langfaulds Park, Bearsden using revised 2008 qualitative assessment to illustrate the effect changes to the site have had on the numbers of people with access to a space of an acceptable quality. Figures 9 - 17 quantify the extent of the total open space resource within East Dunbartonshire using the revised and updated greenspace map. Figures 18 - 23 reveal accessibility from all sites surveryed in the qualitative assessment. These figures reveal that most of the population living in East Dunbartonshire are within 400m of an open space, with the exception of people living in central Bearsden. It can also be seen that Milngavie contains the most open space sites classified as ‘Good’ or Very Good’ in terms of fitness for purpose. Similarly, Kirkintilloch appears to have the largest number of open space sites classified as ‘Fair’ or ‘Poor’ fitness for purpose. Figures 24 - 29 assess accessibility to play areas in East Dunbartonshire. All settlements with the exception of Bearsden have good access to a number of playgrounds which seem to be spread

evenly over the settlements extent. In Bearsden the playgrounds are concentrated around the outskirts of the town with households in the centre having little or no access to playground sites. The playgrounds reaching the largest number of households include Meiklehill Nursery Playground and Tintock Road Playground in Kirkintilloch. The playgrounds accessible to the least amount of households include Firbank Avenue Playground in Torrance and the playground at the rear of the Sports Centre in Bishopbriggs. Figures 30 - 36 illustrate accessibility to local and neighbourhood parks in East Dunbartonshire. A large proportion of East Dunbartonshire’s population resides within 1200m of a neighbourhood park, with the exception of two areas in central and southern Bearsden, which do not have access to a neighbrourhood park within 1200m or to a local park within 400m. Neighbourhood parks that have 5000 households or more in their 1200m catchments include: Woodhill Parks 2&3 and Bishopbriggs Park in Bishopbriggs as well as Merklands Sports Pitches and Luggie Park in Kirkintilloch. The neighbourhood parks that are the least accessible, in terms of the number of households within their catchment areas, are Gartshore Public Park and Twechar Public Park in Twechar. Local parks reaching the largest number of households (>1000) in their 400m catchments include Langfaulds Park in Bearsden and Meiklehill Road Park in Kirkintilloch. The local parks with the least number of households within their catchments include Firbank Avenue Open Space in Torrance and Lenzie Moss Pitches in Lenzie. Figures 37 - 42 show accessibility to surveyed areas containing natural/semi-natural open space. All EDC settlements have good access to sites containing natural/semi-natural open space with most of the population living within 1200m of such sites. The sites that are able to be accessed by the largest number of households (>5000) include: Luggie Park, Redbrae Road, Merkland Sports Pitches and Merkland Nature Park in Kirkintilloch as well as Bishopbriggs Park in Bishopbriggs. Sites containing the lowest number of households within their 1200m catchments include South Woodland in Milton of Campsie and Campsie Glen and Schoenstadt in Lennoxtown reaching less than 100 households. Lastly, Figure 43 reveals a temporal comparison of Langfaulds Park, Bearsden. From this figure it can be seen that the overall quality of the park has changed from fair to a good fitness for purpose as a result of changes taking place to enhance the overall function, condition and quality of the park. This park is now within 400m of 1037 households in Bearsden.

4.0 â&#x20AC;˘ Summary/ Recommendations 4.1 Summary of the process

4.2 Lessons Learned

The main aim of this study was to develop a method for reviewing and updating the Glasgow and Clyde Valley Green Network Map using East Dunbartonshire as a test area for the methodology.

This pilot study progressed with few major difficulties although a few minor issues were noted which should be addressed for future studies. These have been described below.

This section will outline the key steps that will be required to repeat this methodology for other local authorities in the GCV area.

Display of data - The main issue that local authority staff raised during the process was that it was difficult to review the data accurately using the symbology the data was originally delivered with. A revised layer file was created which displayed both the primary and secondary open space types for each feature. Feedback on the revised symbology was positive and it is recommended that this approach is taken for future data delivery.

Step 1. Inception meeting - Agree scope of study, work programme and delivery mechanisms. Step 2. Choose a pilot area - a small area representative of the wider study area should be chosen. This should include a variety of the different open space types to be found within the study area. The pilot area should be at least 3km x 3km and no greater than 5km x 5km in size. Step 3. Gather data - Collate all data sources required for the study and review these for completeness/ accuracy. Any gaps in the data resource should be noted at this stage. Step 4. Capture site entrances - Use API techniques to identify entrances in the first instance. Produce mapped outputs for review by local authority staff. Step 5. Create pedestrian network - collate route information from available sources. Produce mapped outputs for review by local authority staff. Step 6. Review and revise pilot area - any issues relating to the interpretation and recording of open space typologies should be raised at this stage. The classification process can be revised if required to ensure consistency for the whole study area. Step 7. Review and revise site entrances and pedestrian network Revise according to local authority input. Build the pedestrian network once complete. Step 8. Agree standards - local authorities use a range of different standards to assess access to open space. Agree the standards to be used for any analysis. Step 8. Analyse data - Agree the analysis to be carried out.

to be carried out. Licences can be purchased for different time periods and for this reason it is worth coordinating any additional work for multiple authorities to be carried out concurrently to reduce licencing costs. Resource commitment - This process is essentially a collaboration between the contractor and the local authority. It is therefore critical that local authorities understand the time commitment that will be require of them from the start to allow them to plan accordingly. In particular time input is required for quality assurance tasks throughout the life cycle of the project and project management meetings.

Attribution - Another issue that was raised relating to the initial pilot data was that it was difficult to know what open space type a feature was as only the code was recorded in the attribute table. This issue was resolved by adding an additional field which contained a text description of the open space type. Scope of study - Whilst this was not necessarily a major problem it is an issue that needs to be resolved early in the process. The original Green Network Map was based upon a 500m buffer from all settlements with a population greater than 3000 people. This used the General Register Office for Scotland Census area boundaries. As a result of discussion at the inception meeting it became clear that the EDC Greenspace strategy is based upon a 500m buffer the local plan settlement boundaries. It was agreed that the greenspace mapping should cover the same extent as in the strategy. This meant that some additional data capture was required to cover this extent. Boundaries - Open space boundaries are prone to change over time usually through development pressure. It is important that local authority staff have a good knowledge of their sites to help validate the process. Even in EDC where they were able to draw upon a wealth of knowledge about the sites there was still surprise about the number of sites where space had been lost or where sites had disappeared entirely. It is advisable for local authorities to consider who the most appropriate indiividuals are to inform this process. Standards - Another subject local authorities should give some thought to prior to the process is their open space standards. These will be fundamental to any analyses being carried out towards the end of the process. Licensing - It is important that any contractors working on the job have permission to use local authority data sources. In particular this will require the contractor to sign a licence agreement for use of Ordnance Survey products. It may also mean purchasing an additional licence for the use of certain aerial photography products. This was the case for EDC where an additional licence was required to enable the API work
