Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation

Representation ID: 895

Received: 27/09/2013

Respondent: Sport England

Representation Summary:

Brentwood BC do not appear to have undertaken this work but our National Facility Audit can give an indication of current demand and supply based on our Facilities Planning Model and Active Places Database (see attached for details).
