To change land such as parks, sports pitches and allotments to housing should be resisted. As the population grows, the facilities and open space have to grow as well. Reducing the levels of facilities and open space while growing the population places strain on existing facilities. The National Planning Policy Framework emphases the importance of such facilities in section 8 "promoting health communities."
