Developer Contributions Supplementary Planning Document

Representation ID: 8361

Received: 20/03/2020

Respondent: Sport England - East Region

Representation Summary:

Sport England supports the content of paragraph 7.5.1 in relation to supporting the retention of existing leisure facilities and requiring appropriate levels of leisure/sports facilities to be provided in new development. This approach is consistent with paragraph 96 of the NPPF especially as it is supported by the District Council’s Indoor Sports Facility Strategy which provides a robust evidence base for supporting the retention of existing facilities and justifying developer contributions being sought through new development towards new or enhanced indoor sports facilities.
