Greenwich - CH(a) Loss of Community Facilities

Policy information sourced from Royal Greenwich Local Plan Core Strategy

CH(a) Loss of Community Facilities

The Royal Borough will protect existing social and community facilities. Planning permission that would result in the loss of community facilities through change of use or redevelopment will only be granted where:

there is evidence that the loss would not create or add to a shortfall in provision for the specific community use and
alternative community facilities of a similar nature are provided locally in the area which that facility serves; or
it would enable the implementation of the Royal Borough’s strategy for the provision of community facilities.
the site is demonstrably unsuitable for continued use as a community facility.
