Respondent: Sport England

Sport England would encourage the Authorities to add a reference to uses for sport and recreation within part 3b) of the policy. Whilst leisure is already included in the policy, this is taken to mean commercial leisure uses rather than sports uses. Sports uses are referenced separately from leisure uses within the NPPF Glossary for the definition of Main town centre uses, and so it would be entirely appropriate to reference sports and recreation uses within this policy.
