Over the centuries since then, the town has continued to expand, in particular to the north. One of the latest development to the north of the town is the phased development of Badbury Heights. The play area agreed for Phase 2 is known as a LEAP, which is a local equipped area of play for accompanied children of early school age, up to 8 years. These should offer at least 5 types of play equipment. LEAPs should be located 400 metres or 5 minutes walking time along pedestrian routes (240 metres in a straight line), from nearby dwellings. Seating should be provided for accompanying adults, bins, a notice board and the area fenced. Buffer distance to boundary of nearest dwelling — 10 m. Planning permission, subject to these conditions, have already been obtained as part of the original permission for the development.
