ENP-C7: Community Learning and Wellbeing
Proposals that include development of community facilities to support community learning and wellbeing will be supported.
In particular, strong support will be given to schemes that seek to enable new services or improve access to existing services to meet the needs of local people regardless of age or disability. Schemes can be within existing facilities or through conversion of other available sites and facilities.
Section 106 or Community Infrastructure Levy contributions will be sought towards the improvement of community facilities and services including:
- Adult learning
- After school clubs
- Holiday play schemes
- Medical & wellbeing consultation rooms/ services (see also Policy ENP-C3)
- Community facilities for art, craft and drama
- Community IT facilities and learning
- Community “drop in” facility for elderly residents
- Indoor community facility for young people
The Plan supports schemes that conserve existing buildings for community use as outlined above.
