Aimed at giving the public-sector accurate and up-to-date geospatial data to improve planning, analysis and decision making, OSMM Greenspace contains the location of all publicly accessible and non-accessible greenspaces.\u00a0 The dataset will support the preparation of green infrastructure strategies and action plans to inform development plans, as required by Scottish Planning Policy. As well as greenspace initiatives, it is hoped the dataset will prove instrumental in helping the public sector create and manage health and wellbeing strategies, active travel plans and various environmental initiatives that include air quality, biodiversity, housing, regeneration and flood resilience.<\/p>\n<h2>Access the map and data<\/h2>\n<p>The free map contains data from Ordnance Survey (OS) and other sources, and can be used immediately.\u00a0 The dataset is available from OS via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.os.uk\/opendata\">http:\/\/www.os.uk\/opendata<\/a> or can be viewed through the popular leisure planning and map app OS Maps via OS Maps <a href=\"http:\/\/www.os.uk\/osmaps\">www.os.uk\/osmaps<\/a> and available from the Apple and Android play stores.
