Schedule of Potential Main Modifications

Representation ID: 29459

Received: 19/10/2021

Respondent: Sport England

Representation Summary:

The proposed modifications to Policy PC14 (now PC10) directly respond to representations made by Sport England on the pre-submission version of the plan and the modification was subsequently agreed as part of the completed Statement of Common Ground with the Council although there have been a few minor amendments made to the modified policy since the SoCG was agreed. The modified policy is therefore supported as it would be considered to accord with Government policy in paragraph 99 of the NPPF (2021).

section C states: 'Developments that generate a need for additional education facilities should make appropriate provision for their timely delivery as part of the development'. The sites R25 and R26 with 70 houses will undoubtedly have in the order of 20 children of primary school age. The current primary school in Blackmore is already oversubscribed with a waiting list. There is no room to extend the school, so the only way to make provision is to not build the houses in the first place.

The inclusion of the additional wording ‘childcare’ to paragraphs 7.94 and 7.97 ensures that the full range of education provision is considered.

These modifications address ECC’s Reg.19 Reps 22412 and 22413, and the position in the Statement of Common Ground (F17D) between BBC and ECC.

3. Not Effective

ECC as Education Authority notes that community use of playing fields and sports facilities of educational establishments can place operational and / or financial burdens on such establishments if not appropriately planned for and funded.

Criterion D of Policy PC15 needs to be amended to make it clear to applicants and decision makers that such use should be paid for and the financial burden does not fall on the educational establishment.

This reflects ECC’s position as set out in paragraph 1.3 of its Hearing Statement F128A.
