Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation
Representation ID: 889
Received: 27/09/2013
Respondent: Sport England
Representation Summary:
Par 3.78 confirms the policy applies to both indoor and outdoor sports facilities. If so what new/improved facilities are required and where? To justify investment a need for additional facilities must be demonstrated, there does not appear to be any assessment of need for built sports facilities or up to date assessment of outdoor sports facilities (NPPF Par. 73). What additional demand will 3,500 homes generate? Do existing swimming pools, sports halls and gyms etc. have sufficient capacity to absorb additional demand? If not, how much new provision is needed, where should it go and how will it be delivered?
