SAH103 - Former Phoenix Collegiate School, Friar Park Road, Wednesbury - 84 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. The wording of the policy should be revised 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. The table refers to a planning application having been submitted. Sport England have objected to the planning application as a package of mitigation has not yet been agreed.
