Representation Summary:

Policy DM32 Community Facilities and its explanatory text provide no description of what is meant by the term 'community facilities'. The NPPF paragraph 70 states that to deliver needed commmunity facilities including cultural facilities, policies should guard against the unnecessary loss of valued facilities. Therefore DM32 should include cultural facilities e.g. museums, libraries and galleries. The omission could be easily rectified by including cultural facilities in paragraph 9.169 and including in the Glossary this definition: 'Community facilities provide for the health and wellbeing, social, educational, spiritual, recreational, leisure and cultural needs of the community.'
