P45 Healthy developments
- Development must:
- Be easily accessible from the walking and cycling network; and
- Provide, or support opportunities for healthy activities; and
- Retain or re-provide existing health, community, sport and leisure facilities.
- Development will be permitted where it provides new health, community, sport and leisure facilities.
- In exceptional circumstances, health, community and leisure facilities can be replaced by another use where there are currently more facilities than needed. This must be demonstrated by a marketing exercise for two years, immediately prior to any planning application. This should be for both its existing condition and as an opportunity for an improved health, community or leisure space at market rates.
