Sport England notes the inclusion of sports venues within the policy and consider that this should instead be covered within the remit of a revised Policy 44 Outdoor Sports and Leisure.
This is on the basis of Policy 44 replicating in part NPPF paragraph 104 with national policy referring to sports and recreational buildings, which covers sports venues. An example of this is Coventry Stadium Appeal Ref: APP/E3715/W/23/3322013 with the Inspector assessing the proposed loss of the site for residential development and sports provision against NPPF paragraph 103 (now 104). At the appeal it was agreed that viability did not form part of any consideration as to whether the proposal would meet NPPF paragraph 103.
