Representation ID: 888

Received: 27/09/2013

Respondent: Sport England

Representation Summary:

The role of town centres in culture and leisure provision is accepted in the Plan (which will include leisure centres, swimming pools/sports halls, gyms etc.) and yet there is no assessment of need for built sports facilities in accordance with Par 73 of NPPF (also not referred to) to inform policy development (only commercial leisure). This does not meet NPPF par 70 as there has been no 'positive planning for sports venues.
