S.CF1 Supporting community facilities

Development which seeks to protect, maintain and enhance existing community facilities will be supported.

Development will be required to contribute to the capacity, quality, usability and accessibility of existing community facilities, particularly where development will increase demand.

Development should maximise opportunities for the provision of high quality community facilities to serve a wide range of users. Where possible, facilities or services should be accessible to the wider community outside of core hours and co-located or shared to encourage multi-purpose trips and better meet the needs of different groups.

New community facilities will be directed towards the borough’s centres in accordance with the town centre hierarchy and/or to locations which are accessible to their catchments depending on the nature and scale of the proposal.
