Support the need to replace the existing playing fields and facilities to an equivalent/ better standard. Adequate parking for any replacement facilities or extension to Whitton Sports Centre is also important.

A vehicle exit other than Old Norwich road is essential to avoid use of the Old Norwich road junction with Norwich road and Bury Road. This junction is already over capacity and the development of Tooks site and recently approved development north for 190 dwellings will likely add to this.

The road link between this site and Tooks could create traffic problems within the site if not planned correctly.

No objection to this allocation, but we feel the text in relation to the requirements for a replacement facility should be more explicit and should reflect Sport England's policy in relation to replacement playing fields, which states:

The area of playing field to be lost as a result of the proposed development will be
replaced, prior to the commencement of development, by a new area of playing field:
- of equivalent or better quality, and
- of equivalent or greater quantity, and
- in a suitable location, and
- subject to equivalent or better accessibility and management arrangements.
