Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Policy P20 Provision for Open Space, Childrens Play, Sport, Recreation and Leisure

Representation ID: 14524

Received: 19/11/2020

Respondent: 53rd Coventry (Berkswell) Scouts

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

We welcome Policy P20. We are not familiar with the minimum play standards and do not know if a shortfall in Balsall Common has been identified. The Cubs have identified a lack of play equipment / facilities for children aged 7-11 years in Balsall Common.

The play provision strategy within the Balsall Common area is currently vague in the local plan. The proposed housing could generate over 300 additional children aged 7-11 and we would like to see some age appropriate play provision specified within the local plan.

Change suggested by respondent:

The local plan should ensure specific provision for age related play and informal recreation, based on the development's expected child population and an assessment of future needs within the settlement.
