Site
Specific
Allocations
and
Policies |
- Has a local needs assessment been undertaken to identify which facilities should be protected?
- Have specific sites been allocated for sports interests, as a result of a needs assessment and/or as part of new development?
- Where existing facilities are identified for development, has consideration (based on the findings of facility assessments) been given to whether a linked site specific allocation is required for providing replacement facilities or whether replacement provision should be made through other measures (e.g. financial contributions in lieu of direct replacement provision)?
- Can it be verified that allocation of existing or former sports facilities for development (without replacement provision being made) will only be acceptable if it has been satisfactorily demonstrated through a detailed assessment that there is an excess of facility provision within the catchment and no demand exists for replacement facility provision?
- Has the provision of sports facilities been considered as part of the wider development of community infrastructure, thus forging links between policy areas?
