CM1 Community Facilities

Retain and develop Dartmouth Park’s community facilities, by:

  • ensuring that development of any of the existing community facilities identified in Appendix 3 and shown on the plan at Fig. A2 either maintains the existing facilities or provides an equivalent or better facility on the same or another site within the Neighbourhood Area, unless it has been demonstrated by a marketing exercise undertaken over a period of not less than 12 months that the facilities are no longer required or are not economically viable and that there is no suitable alternative community use for the facility; and
  • where a development is likely to create an additional demand on community facilities in the Neighbourhood Area that would cause the existing capacity of such facilities to be exceeded, requiring a contribution towards supporting and improving the existing community facilities or towards the provision of new community facilities within the Neighbourhood Area that is fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development.
