The description of the Land at Priests Lane (Site Refs: 044 & 187) Table 7.2 makes reference to include provision of open space and/or Sports facilities for public use. Although the site is currently open land it makes no contribution to either public open space or sports provision. The only contribution it makes as open land is to provide the limited number of properties that bound with an open outlook. Therefore the requirement to make the provision of open space or sports facility for public use is not one that is justified. Furthermore, in the absence of an up to date Open Space Audit, it has not been shown that this area is deficient in, or in need of any additional public open space or sports facility to meet an identified need.
Suggest deletion of " to include provision of open space and/or Sports facilities for public use" or at the very least changed to read "potential for the provision of open space and/or Sports facilities for public use".
