New, Revised and Small Sites

GNLP2173 - Rear of Heath Crescent, Hellesdon

This site is the former Jarrold Sports Ground, which was last used for sport two years ago, therefore any consultation on a planning application to develop this site would be a statutory consultation with Sport England.

In order to satisfy Sport England policy and meet Para 97 of the NPPF, any development of the site would need to meet the following criteria:

Exception 4
The area of playing field to be lost as a result of the proposed development will be replaced, prior to the commencement of development, by a new area of playing field:
* of equivalent or better quality, and
* of equivalent or greater quantity, and
* in a suitable location, and
* subject to equivalent or better accessibility and management arrangements.

As the proposal would result in the permanent loss of this sports ground without meeting the requirements of Exception E4 or NPPF Para 97, Sport England would wish to object to this allocation, as there is a shortage of outdoor spece for sport in the Hellesdon area. I understand the Parish Council would be interested in acquiring the site to help meet local demand for sports pitches..



GNLP 2170 - Former Langley Prep School Playing Fields

This allocation consists of 1.3 hectares of former playing fields at this school. Evidence from Google Earth indicates that the site has been recently marked out for junior and mini soccer pitches, with athletics track and rounders during the summer months. The site also contains three tennis courts.

Sport England would be a statutory consultee on any planning application relating to this site.
