The LDF Process

The following checklists identify issues which might be addressed in the preparation of a LDF Core Strategy: The first checklist takes a broad overview of issues, whilst the second checklist sets out more detailed reference points for the development of policy either in the Core Strategy or other DPDs. The latter might include a specific DPD covering sport and recreation, for example.

Objective- setting	Set out clear objectives for sport and recreation? Reflect community strategy objectives for sport and recreation? Safeguard facilities? Promote accessible facilities? Development of a strategic framework for the provision of sport opportunities? Stafford Example
Developing and using the evidence base	Employ a sound evidence base to help inform policy making? Identify a hierarchy of sport and recreation provision? Use policies which anticipate future sport and recreation needs? Southend-on-sea Example
Connecting policies and plans	Recognise the role of sport in contributing to a wide range of spatial planning issues: regeneration, health promotion, crime reduction, quality of life etc? Establish connections between different policy arenas? Bedford Example
Promoting sustainability and quality of life issues	Promote sustainable design of sports facilities? Promote sustainable resource management/stewardship through the relationship between sport and the natural environment? Promote mixed use schemes such that there is an appropriate presence of sport and recreation and as part of a balanced community? Bedford Example
Developing spatial planning approaches	Maximise contributions to spatial planning initiatives such as greenspace networks or better use of the urban fringe and the wider countryside? Develop policies which respond to the expressed needs and demands of marginal or controversial sports, with due regard to resource protection and wider sustainability issues? Explore opportunities for sport and recreation to make a contribution to unprogrammed development proposals?
Using planning obligations and conditions	Set out the provisions in respect of sport and recreation that will be expected as part of new development? Ensure that any loss of sport and recreation facilities is adequately compensated for through like-for-like replacement, or similar? Mid Devon Example Southend-on-sea Example Bedford Example
