Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Question 38 - Amber Sites

Representation ID: 8921

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Sport England

Representation Summary:

Amber Site A6 - The Rowood Drive playing field has not been utilised as a playing field for over 5 years and the site is not identified within the Council's Playing Pitch Strategy thus it is not recommended for retention. However, the Playing Pitch Strategy identifies that there are shortfalls in provision which could be remedied by improving pitch quality to alleviate overplay, reduce shortfalls and increase future provision. It is therefore considered that off site compensation will be required to mitigate for the loss of the playing field.
