Hockley Area Action Plan - Issues and Options

Representation ID: 6069

Received: 30/03/2009

Respondent: Sport England (East Region)

Representation Summary:

Whilst the AAP area is tightly drawn, there should be reference to the potential for improving access to sport and recreation opportunities in the town centre such as health and fitness club provision. Any relevant findings of the recently updated Playing Pitch Strategy SPD should be referred to. The AAP's reference to 'leisure uses' does not specify what the opportunities for community facilities such as sport might be. Whilst it is appreciated that the AAP is at an early stage, future versions should be more specific as to what aspects of community facility provision should be provided/enhanced in the area.
