SAH091 - Land at Friar Park Road, Wednesbury - 750 dwellings.

The site includes playing fields, the loss of which needs to be addressed in line with para 99 of the NPPF and Sport England's Playing Fields Policy. Sport England notes that the table states the playing pitches on the site will need to be retained or replaced. The wording of the policy should be refined to ensure that in the absence of the playing field being demonstrated to be surplus, mitigation provision that is equitable in quantity and quality in a suitable location will be required. This is necessary to ensure the policy accords with para 99 of the NPPF and Sport England's Playing Fields Policy.
