Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 481

Received: 31/01/2017

Respondent: Mr Stephen Hill

Representation Summary:

No, the Spatial Strategy needs to include something specific about Sporting Activities/Sports Facilities, to give confidence that the Council does care about, and wishes to plan appropriately for, Sporting Activities in Solihull. Such a statement would also provide support for the subsequent sections/policies relevant to Sporting Activities and reassurances where policies could result in the loss of existing Sports Facilities.

A general statement about facilities for Sporting Activities is required in the Spatial Strategy, such as - 'Solihull will need a range of facilities for outdoor and indoor sporting activities, to meet the needs of its residents.'
