Policy information sourced from South Bucks District Local Plan

R6 - SPECIALIST SPORTS

Proposals involving the use of land or water for specialist or organised sports and activities, including motorised sports and gun sports, will only be permitted where:

  • the proposal would not adversely affect the character or amenities of the landscape, nearby uses or the locality in general, for example through noise and general disturbance; and
  • adequate parking for participants, and where necessary spectators, would be provided within the application site; and
  • proposals for water-based sports would not conflict with policy L4 (River Thames Setting) or have an adverse impact on the character, landscape or amenity of any other waterway or lake.
  • the proposal would comply with all the other policies in this Plan. Particular attention is drawn to policies TR5 (Accesses, Highway Works and Traffic Generation) and TR7 (Parking Provision).

In assessing proposals the local planning authority will have regard to the hours, days and frequency of operation. Where possible locations for specialist sports should be well served by public transport.
