Policy information sourced from South Bucks District Local Plan

R8 - FLOODLIGHTING

Proposals for floodlighting of outdoor sports facilities, whether in the developed area or the Green Belt, will only be permitted where they would not adversely affect the character or amenities of nearby properties or the locality in general having regard to:

  • the impact of the light; and
  • the appearance of the structures; and
  • the increased level of activity resulting from the lighting.

Where floodlighting is permitted conditions will be imposed to ensure light does not unduly spill beyond the playing area and to restrict the times of illumination.

Proposals will also be expected to comply with all the other policies in this Plan. Particular attention is drawn to policy TR5 (Accesses, Highway Works and Traffic Generation).
