Respondent: Sport England (East Region)
Sport England is supportive of protecting the district's schools from development as they provide many facilities that meet the wider needs of the communities where they are located as well as the needs of individual schools. In particular, schools provide indoor and outdoor sports facilities that make a major contribution towards meeting community needs. Consequently, there protection is justified especially if supported by an evidence base such as a playing pitch assessment which demonstrates the role that such facilities play in meeting community needs.
