The proposed modifications to paragraphs 7.83 and 7.90 of the reasoned justification to Policy PC14 are supported as they specifically confirm that the applicant should account for the Council’s Built Facilities Strategy when considering indoor sports and leisure facilities to support the content of the policy which seeks to protect existing facilities and support new facilities that would include indoor sports facilities. This would provide greater clarity to support implementation of the policy and also distinguishes between the scope of policies PC14 and NE05.
Before the plan is finalised for adoption, a minor drafting error has been identified. In the modified paragraph 7.83, reference is made to policy BE22 which has now as a result of MM33 been deleted and replaced with NE05. It is requested that this be amended to avoid any potential confusion when the policy is implemented.
