Policy LP30: Culture, Leisure, Tourism and Community Facilities.
This policy reads: Existing Culture, Leisure, Tourism and Community Facilities
The loss, via redevelopment, of an existing culture, leisure, tourism or community facility will only be permitted if it is demonstrated that:
The facility is demonstrably no longer fit for purpose and the site is not viable to be redeveloped for a new community facility; or
l. The service provided by the facility is met by alternative provision that exists within reasonable proximity: what is deemed as reasonable proximity will depend on the nature of the facility and its associated catchment area; or
m. The proposal includes the provision of a new facility of a similar nature and of a similar or greater size in a suitable on or off-site location.
