SI3 – Venues for Community Use

Subject to compliance with other policies in this Neighbourhood Plan, the enhancement of existing and development of new community uses, including faith buildings, community halls and school dual use facilities is supported.

Any planning application proposal involving the creation of a new school must:

  • Set out how, and to what extent, the facilities will be made available for sports and arts community use.
  • Set out how, and to what extent, the facilities will be made available to providers of health and wellbeing activities.

Proposals that make no facilities available for community use will not be supported unless it is clearly proven that doing so could result in harm to the function of the school.
