Part of Site BL1 (parcel south of Tythe Barn Lane) objected to on number of grounds:
Sports and recreation:
- Loss of substantial area of playing fields
- Contrary to NPPF Para. 97
- 2016 SHELAA states that suitability of Site BL1 is adversely affected to need to replace sports pitches
- Contrary to Policy P18 on promoting healthy lifestyles
- Considerable public objection to Site BL1 from club members and users from wide geographical area
- Relocation of sports grounds will cause upheaval and stress to local community
- Sport England have previously objected to Site (Reg 18 consultation in Feb 2017)
- Has more playing fields than any other proposed site location
- No alternative sports ground have been identified
- Access to countryside and recreation opportunities would be reduced
- Remaining areas of green space taken out of the Green Belt will be under pressure for development
