If any of the promoted sites in Rayleigh are current or former playing fields or other sports facilities and the Council is minded to consider allocating them in the Preferred Options consultation it is advocated that Sport England is engaged with for advice in advance of a future formal consultation.
Please treat this answer as applying to the corresponding question for all of the other settlements in Rochford district.
If any of the promoted sites in Rayleigh are current or former playing fields or other sports facilities and the Council is minded to consider allocating them for housing, commercial etc in the Preferred Options consultation it is advocated that Sport England is engaged with for advice in advance of a future formal consultation. As Sport England would potentially be a statutory consultee on a future planning application affecting a playing field site, early engagement is advocated if the Council is minded to consider such a site allocation. This would help minimise the potential for delays and objections at a later stage of the Local Plan process and any future planning application. Advice can be provided on how potential concerns could be addressed and how any site allocation policies could be worded to address potential objections.
