C4 Sustainable Community, Leisure and Sports Facilities

Planning applications to extend or enhance existing community, leisure or sports facilities will be supported, provided there is not an unacceptable impact on adjoining residential areas.

Any proposals that result in the loss of buildings or land currently allocated for community or sports use will not be supported unless:

  • an assessment has been undertaken which clearly shows that the facility is no longer needed in its current form OR
  • the resulting loss would be replaced by an enhanced facility in terms of both quality and location OR
  • the site is to be used for an alternative community facility, the need for which clearly outweighs the loss.

Any proposals that result in the loss of a public house will not normally be supported.
