The preferred location for indoor sports and recreation facilities is in the borough’s town centres, or as part of a dual use facility at educational sites. Where there are no suitable sites in these locations the council may consider development proposals in edge-of-centre locations, or in other areas which are highly accessible by a choice of means of transport. All development proposals in edge-of-centre and out-of-centre locations, other than those identified in this Plan, will be required to submit evidence of need for development and evidence that the sequential approach has been applied in selecting the site, as outlined in PPS6.
