The NPPF is not good news for sport and receation. Whilst the intention of the Governments new planning system is to simplify and encourage development, the proposals fail to protect sport and recreational facilities. The draft proposals ignore the community benefits of sport and recreation and mean that:-
Open space, sport and recreational facilities will be more vulnerable to development than they are at the moment.
Playing field protection will be reduced, despite assurances, as there is no like for like replacement.
Developers will be less likely to provide sport and recreational facilities through planning obligations.
