This Site proposes the redevelopment of the existing sports pitches and the current land use also contains a Local Wildlife Site and designated Ancient Woodland as well as historic hedgerows.
SMBC should ensure their assessments are fair, robust and objective and the site is sequentially acceptable when weighed against others.
The work required in connection with replacement of the displaced pitches has not moved forward since the previous consultation.
SMBC should ensure that replacement pitches of equivalent or better quality in a suitable location are shown. This should be shown to be feasible before the Site is allocated for development. Another option would be to reduce the capacity of the Site in order to retain the pitches.
Reprovision of the sports pitches should be secured prior to allocation.
