8Creating sporting opportunities in every community

Sport England’s role in the planning system

• Protection of playing fields (statutory)• Non-statutory role – aim to secure investment into

sport• Influencing National Planning Policy.• Strategic Planning – enabling/supporting Local

Authorities and other partners (eg NGB’s) to plan for sport

• Local Development Framework - Local Policy • Sport England planning tools/kitbag – promotion• Getting more people participating in sport



Planning Applications

• Statutory consultations – Applications for development affecting playing fields;

• Non-statutory consultations – mainly new sports facilities (not on playing field sites), major residential developments and loss of playing fields (where not used for more than 5 years)

• Pre-application advice requests from local authorities and developers.



Statutory consultations• Playing fields policy ‘A Sporting Future for the Playing Fields of England’

(1997); National Planning Policy Framework.• The policy sets out that we will object to the loss of playing fields

unless 1 of 5 exceptions are met;• E1 – a surplus of playing pitches is demonstrated;• E2 – ancillary facilities such as pavilions/parking that have no adverse

affect on pitches• E3 – areas that are incapable of forming playing pitches (or part of

one)• E4 – equivalent replacement playing field provision is made (Quality

and Quantity)• E5 – sports facilities which offer benefits to sport which outweigh

impact on playing fields• Call in – Procedure (referral) National Casework Unit.



Local Development Frameworks

• Development plan documents that make up the Local Development Framework

• Core Strategies.• Site Specific Allocations • Supplementary Planning Documents • Evidence Base – PPG 17 Open Space Sport & Recreation

- Playing Pitch Strategies - Facilities Strategies.

Recreation Studies – Local standards• Active Places & Active Places Power• Sports Facilities Calculator• Facilities Planning Model• Design Guidance• Towards a Level Playing Field (PPS)


Community Infrastructure Levy/S106

• Community Infrastructure Levy• “Infrastructure” is defined in Section 216(2) of

the Planning Act and includes:-– roads and other transport facilities;– flood defences;– schools and other educational facilities;– medical facilities;– sporting and recreational facilities; and– open spaces.


CIL/Section 106• Section 106• CIL Regulations do not replace the requirements of

S106 planning obligations. It is envisaged that the two systems should work in tandem.

• Regulation 122(1) of the CIL Regulations now states that a planning obligation may only constitute a reason for granting planning permission for development if the obligation is –

– “Necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms;

– Directly related to the development; and– Fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the

development”
