Bill, its public open space at large, not just the green bits bolted onto
housing sites. I have never heard it abbreviated in conversation, only as
written shorthand, and I don't recall it in regular use down the pub.
Quoting Tim Scott-Ellis <tim@xxxxxxxxxxxx.co.uk>:
Bill,
I think you'll find it is common parlance within local government
circles,
particularly planning and recreation/parks management.

Just a quicky,
POS is a commonly used abbreviation round here, for Public Open Space:
That
is the bit of a development site left as a 'green' (cynicism
notwithstanding)
area. Is this a widely used TLA? I mean is it used all over the country
and
not just round here? It doesn't seem to be in common parlance outside
Planning circles as far as I can see.
