SI4 – Provision of Sports and Leisure Facilities
Proposals that enhance or provide new community sports and leisure facilities are supported, in particular where they are:
- Inclusive and suitable for residents with disabilities.
- Accessible to users by public transport, walking and cycling.
- Accompanied by an adequately-sized car park having regard to the likely modes of transport to and from the venue as well as nearby parking availability.
- Including a mix of facilities that have been determined in consultation with the local planning authority, Town Council, local sports clubs and other stakeholders.
In particular, appropriate proposals that would provide permanent venues for local sports clubs without a permanent venue, such as Harpenden Hockey Club and the Harpenden Colts Football Club, would be supported.
