Comprehensive Guidance on sport in the Planning System is available under Planning for Sport.
It is worth remembering that LDFs provides you with an opportunity to become
involved in setting locally defined development policies. You may want to explore
further the parallels between planning for sport and wider social and economic
planning framework. The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act already requires
LDFs to reflect and deliver the key objectives of the Community Strategy, if you
have included ojectives for sport here, then you already have a way in to the LDF

Integrating Sport into LDFs
The Key Actions are:- - Make sure that you are engaged at all stages of the process, from regional spatial planning, to developing SPDs.
- Identify champions for sport within the planning process, talk to your Forward planners and get them on board
- Make sure that sport is represented in the key documents that will influence decision making
- Identify the priorities in each of the local Planning Documents and demonstrate how sport can contribute.
- Agree the standards of provision using information from your PPG 17 assessment, and Design Standards within the relevant Supplementary planning documents.
- Establish standards of provision for sport & leisure per person for your area and calculate the cost of these as a basis for section 106 contributions
