How should sport be represented? Through the establishment of objectives for sustainable development, sport and recreation should be recognised as an important part of the sustainable development of a local authority area. Sport is perhaps uniquely placed to contribute to a wide agenda which covers the protection and enhancement of quality of life, environmental character and socio-economic health. The interests of sport and recreation can thus be used to help advance sustainable development with in the LDF, particularly through establishing connections between policy areas where it has perhaps traditionally been difficult to do so (see Principles of Spatial Planning).
