DMC 1 Protection of existing community facilities
Development that would lead to the loss of existing community facility floorspace will only be permitted where:
- there is no demonstrable current or future need or demand for the space, either in its current use or any alternative community use and evidence of appropriate marketing the site for community use has been provided to the Council’s satisfaction; or
- replacement provision, that suits current and future needs, is provided in an appropriate location; or
- the premises are no longer suitable to continue in community use.
Adequate replacement floorspace must be of equal or improved capacity, design and layout as that being lost through development. The replacement facility/floorspace should satisfy the criteria in Policy DMC2.
