Developer Contributions Supplementary Planning Document
Representation ID: 8366
Received: 20/03/2020
Respondent: Sport England - East Region
Representation Summary:
Objection is made to the proposal in paragraph 8.4.4 to all schemes having regard to a standard of 1.6 hectares per 1000 population for outdoor sport which would be used for quantifying provision in new development. However, the use of this standard is not consistent with the Council’s Playing Pitch Strategy which also forms part of the Council’s local plan evidence base, and which did not advocate the use of a generic outdoor sports standard for applying to new development. It is therefore requested that the standard is removed from the SPD and replaced with amended guidance.
