"it appears many of the urban cases could be mapped solely as landuse=grass"

I've created a Overpass routine to return commons within 5k of any 
place=city or town to aid amendments.
https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/13Fb

As can be seen by this example around Barnsley quite a few appear to be 
'bits of grass at the ends of the street'

The radius of the search area can be increased by amending the '5000' 
figure.
