SPD's BY REGION
The regional plans for sport interpret the Framework for Sport in England (2004), setting targets for delivery in different areas.
Using the planning system to maximize investment in facilities, and the maintenance of facilities, is a key theme of many of the regional plans.
Adding Value: The East of England Plan for Sport (2004) states:
‘…we will maximise the investment into sport and active recreation through the land use planning system’
One of the main ways of doing this will be by:
‘…using s106 obligations, making sure that every opportunity is taken to secure direct investment into sport and active recreation in new developments’.
[East of England Plan for Sport, 2004, p 15]
Mission Possible: The South East Plan for Sport states the intention of the Regional Sports Board to
‘…produce a position statement on the existing use of planning obligations in the region with suggestions for priority actions to increase the level of resources being put into sport and active recreation by this method’
[South East Plan for Sport,(2004) p 18].
Life’s Out There: The South West Regional Plan for Sport notes that all six of the main policy areas of the National Framework for Sport are tackled by increasing investment in sport through more contributions from developers.
The Plan states that if all of the region’s (housing) developments were to achieve 50% of the £2,000 per house achieved by North Dorset and Poole, it would produce £20 million a year for sport. This is twice the total yearly Sport England lottery fund investment in the region when it was at its peak.
