85 Major Indoor Leisure Facilities

Proposals for major new indoor leisure facilities will be directed to Hemel Hempstead. Sites within the town centre will be preferred, followed by sites at the edge of the town centre and by other sites with very good passenger transport access. Permission will not be given for any site unless the following criteria are satisfactorily met:

  • the transport impact is carefully controlled and managed (see Policies 51 and 58);
  • the effect on the amenity and character of residential areas is minimised;
  • housing land is maintained (Policy 15); and
  • structural open land is retained.
