How should sport be represented?
Sport and recreation can make an important contribution to the development of AAPs, and should be considered as part both development and implementation of the document. The protection, enhancement or provision of sport and recreation facilities relating to a specific district or neighbourhood should be at the heart the planning activity, complemented by attention to sport’s role in the promotion of wider objectives such regeneration and health improvement. Where appropriate sport can be put at the heart of communities through innovative schemes such as a neighbourhood centre or dual-use facilities. Proposals in AAPs should provide a firm basis for assessing how facilities can be funded, and what potential there is for the negotiation of planning obligations, particularly where there is the opportunity to undertake comprehensive masterplanning.
