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.
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.
Please find 53rd Coventry (Berkswell) Scout Group’s response attached.
