Sport England note the identification of strategic growth location/proposed new settlements. Some of these sites include sports provisions (indoor and outdoor) which should be protected and enhanced/where possible extended to help meet the sporting demand generated from the new development. Should sites proposed to be lost then replacement provision should be secured and made available for use prior to the loss, this should be a key requirement within any site allocation policies.

Sport England also consider that as site allocations are firmed up that consideration should be had to the allocation of sites for sport. This would help set out a strategic identification of how the needs of community will be met and not defer matters to the planning application stage. This would be aligned with NPPF paragraph 102.
