CS 13: Community, Cultural and Built Sports Facilities
The loss of community, cultural and built sports facilities, particularly those catering for the young or old, will be resisted unless:
- it can be clearly demonstrated there is no longer a need for such a facility in either its current use, or in any other form of community use, or
- there is an appropriate alternative means of providing an equivalent facility.
The provision of new community, cultural and built sports facilities, and the upgrading of those existing, will be encouraged, particularly where they address a deficiency in current provision, and where they meet the identified needs of communities both within the Borough and beyond.
