Sport England are broadly supportive of this policy, but have concerns regarding the reference to ‘dual use playing fields’. It is considered that the policy requirement for outdoor sport should not include school playing fields, as these are not always made available for public use, and over use can affect their quality.
The requirement for replacement playing fields for Ipswich School must be in addition to the policy requirements for community outdoor sport provision.

We support the revisions to this policy, with regard to sites of low quality, which will ensure that sites are not deliberately neglected in order to assist their redevelopment.

We support this policy, as it adds supporting text promoting the use of Sport England’s ‘Active Design’ guidance.
