Object CGB5:
- due to the high allocation of housing already within this area, classification and importance should be given to leisure, retail or commercial development in this region.
- shortage of land available for leisure (such as land availability to move Royston Football Club) and this should be carefully considered when allocating areas of land. NPPF 8 (Promoting Healthy Communities) particularly encourages this and Policy CGB5 endorses this
