CF2 - PROVISION OF NEW COMMUNITY FACILITIES

The Council will grant planning permission for the development, expansion or change of use of premises for community facilities in the District’s built-up areas and in the villages defined in accordance with Policies RUD1, RUD2 and RUD3 provided that:

  • the proposed use would not detract from the character and appearance of the property and surrounding area;
  • the development is required to meet the needs of the locality which cannot be met through the use of existing community premises;
  • the location of the proposed development is accessible to the population being served including by public transport;
  • the scale of the development is appropriate to the needs of the local community;
  • the development would not have an adverse impact on the amenities of the locality, especially those of neighbouring properties;
  • the parking and access requirements can be satisfactorily accommodated and the amount of traffic generated would not adversely affect highway safety or the residential amenities of the locality.
