DMD 17 Protection of Community Facilities

The Council will protect existing community facilities in the borough.

Proposals involving the loss of community facilities will not be permitted unless:

  • A suitable replacement facility is provided to cater for the local community that maintains the same level of public provision and accessibility; or
  • Evidence is submitted to demonstrate that there is no demand for the existing use or any alternative community use.

This policy should be read in conjunction with Core Strategy policies 7, 11 and 34.
