Sport England raises 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 (see proposed change). Including the recommended text within the policy or supporting text would make Sport England support at application stage more likely.
"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."
