Using Sport England's Facilities Planning Model and Active Places Database, an initial assessment of the data output for 2013 (assuming Active Places Power is up to date and correct and there are no planned closures etc.) indicates that the initial data, which should be subject to local scrutiny and if necessary updating, shows there is no need to make additional provision for sports halls and swimming pools but that new artificial grass pitch provision is needed.

None of the allocated sites for housing or other development should lead to the loss of any sports facilities, indoor or outdoor, otherwise proposals will fail to meet NPPF Par 74. If the allocations will lead to the loss of sports facilities Sport England will object to the allocations unless an up to date needs assessment demonstrates they are surplus or they are to be replaced (as per Par 74 NPPF).
