Policy E4 - Phasing of Saxon Business Park
Representation ID: 29147
Received: 27/03/2013
Respondent: Sport England
Sport England supports the requirement that Area 2 of the proposed business park can only proceed once Westcliff Rugbt Club has been relocated and operational as this phasing requirement is necessary to ensure continuity of facility provision for the club. Without this there would be at least a temporary loss of playing field provision which is likely to prejudice the club's continuity.

Policy E7 - Development of Area 2 - Saxon Business Park
Representation ID: 29148
Received: 27/03/2013
Respondent: Sport England
The requirement for the business park development to fund the relocation of the rugby club is supported as this is an essential pre-requisite. The requirement for the replacement facilities to be at least equivalent to the existing site in terms of quantity and quality of facilities provided and at least equivalent in terms of tenure/management arrangements is also supported. This is required to ensure that the replacement rugby club facilities are at least equivalent to the existing ones in practice and to accord with NPPF policy and Sport England's playing fields policy.
Sport England supports the requirement for the business park development to fund the relocation of the rugby club as this is an essential pre-requisite of the development and could not realistically be funded through alternative means. The requirement for the replacement facilities to be at least equivalent to the existing site in terms of quantity and quality of facilities provided and at least equivalent in terms of tenure/management arrangements is also supported. This is required to ensure that the replacement rugby club facilities are at least equivalent to the existing ones in practice. This approach would allow the loss of the existing rugby club site to accord with the NPPF (paragraph 74) and Sport England's playing fields policy (which is used for assessing statutory consultations on planning applications).

Policy ENV2 - New Public Open Space - North
Representation ID: 29149
Received: 27/03/2013
Respondent: Sport England
Support for the allocation in the plan of an area for relocating Westcliff Rugby Club. This provides some certainty in principle that the club has a suitable alternative site that it could be relocated to ifits current site is redeveloped for the Saxon Business Park. Clarity that this will be funded by the development of phase 2 of the business park is also welcomed as this provides clarity that the relocation would be funded by the development of the existing site rather than the club itself or other bodies.
