Clubs urged to act
The Government is proposing the removal of Sport England as a statutory consultee for planning applications involving playing fields.
Sport & Recreation Alliance CEO Lisa Wainwright MBE:
“Whilst we understand the Government’s ambition to build more houses and stimulate growth, we are deeply concerned that the proposals to remove Sport England as a statutory consultee set out in this consultation will remove vital safeguards which protect playing fields and pitches from development.
“We’ve seen the importance of these spaces. Without places to play, who knows where our next generation of Lionesses or Red Roses will come from. Once the concrete is poured and the bricks are laid, these vital spaces will be lost forever." |
