SF17

Support in part

SF17 designates part of the playing nfield site as outdoor sports faciltiies which is welcomed. However, the deisgnation needs to be extended to cover the bowling green at the site and the changing pavilion, the latter being part and parcel of the physical and functional use of the site as a playing field - its protection is critical in supporting the longer term use of the playing field

Refer to the Council's Open Space Study, specifically the section on Outdoor Sports Facilities

Burneside

6 Burneside

M38M, SF110, PS260

Support in part

Support in part

M38M and SF110 - these 2 sites are inherently linked, with housing being allocated on the existing tennis club site and SF110 being allocated for replacement sports facilities to compensate for any loss. It does however need to be made clear in Draft Policy S2 'Land for new Housing in Local Service Centres, Rural Kendal' that the housing allocation can only be brought forward once a scheme for at least equivalent replacement facilities have been brought forward at SF110.

PS260 - Sport England would recommend that the school field be redesignated as sports facilities e.g. SF...

Burton in Kendal

7 Burton in Kendal (with Clawthorpe)

SF57

Support in part

Extend designation to include changing pavilion

See previous comments

Cartmel

33 Cartmel (with Headless Cross)

SF81 & 82, SF80 and SF88

Support in part

SF81&82 - Extend designation to include adjacent building as changing accommodation is available for use of the outdoor pitches.

SF80 - Extend designation to include adjacent clubhouse/changing pavilion

SF88 - Extend designation to include car park area

Endmoor

8 Endmoor

SF20 & 21

Support in part

SF20&21 - Extend deisgnation to include adjacent car parks and clubhouse (latter only if used as changing accommodation)

Grange over Sands

30 (1 of 4) Grange Main Proposals

PS239, PS128, SF74 & 73

Support in part

The above designations are all part of the same functional area of playing field - SF73 & 74 should therefore be extended to cover the whole area including any changing accommodation. Sport England protects the entire area of playing field not just those parts that are currently marked out as pitches as this wider area offers a resource for marking out additional pitches where demand arises, allows for pitches to be re-orientated to reduce wear and tear and allows for training grid and warm up areas to be marked out around pitches.

Grange over Sands

30 (2 of 4) Grange North

R383

Oppose

This is the site of a disused outdoor swimming pool however it would still be afforded protection from redevelopment for alternative uses by way of PPG 17. In the absence of a local needs assessment covering such facility types (the Council's PPG 17 Study did not include such facilities within the typologies covered) to demonstrate that it is surplus to requirements, Sport England would object to its allocation for a mixed use scheme.

Recommend that site be altered to outdoor sports facility at this stage.

Grayrigg

22 Grayrigg / New Hutton

AS101

Oppose

Appears to be school playing field but full extent of the field not included and not designated as outdoor sports facility. Recommend that this be altered to include SF designation and extended to cover the whole field and the school building where changing accommodation exists to serve the outdoor sports facilities.

Great and Little Urswick

38 Great and Little Urswick

SF119

Support in part

According to Sport England's Active Places database the school includes changing accommodation used by the local community to serve the outdoor sports facilities. Therefore recommend that designation be extended to include the school building.

Heversham and Leasgill

23 Heversham and Leasgill

SF116 & SF4

Support in part

SF116 - recommend designation extended to include car park
SF4 - changing accommodation and significant indoor sports facilities in Dallam 6th Form Centre school buildings. Recommend designation extended to include these facilities.

Kendal

1 (3 of 6) Kendal North East

SF6, SF71 & 72

Support in part

Extend above deisgnations to include changing pavilions/clubhouse

Kendal

1 (5 of 6) Kendal South East

PS139

Leisure Lakes leisure centre to the south of SF3 and Kendal driving range adjacent R150M

Support in part

SF designations should be extended to other sites referred to above

Support

PS139 - site includes a small sided football pitch therefore SF designation should apply here as well.

Leisure Lakes site - significant indoor sports facilities including changing accommodation which is likely to serve adjacent sites, recommend SF designation.

Kendal Driving Range - SF designation should apply

Kirkby in Furness including Sand Side and Beckside

40 Kirkby in Furness including Sand Side and Beckside

SF86

Support in part

Extend designation to include community hall/changing accommodation and car park area

Kirkby Lonsdale

3 (1 of 2) Kirkby Lonsdale

SF39 & SF40, RN206, R127M

Oppose

Support in part

SF39 - extend designation to include adjacent changing accommodation and sports hall which appear to serve the tennis courts

SF40 - as above, extend to include school sports hall and associated changing accommodation

RN206 - object as aerials show that this site has been marked out with summer pitch markings e.g. running track and is likely to form part of wider playing field site serving the school. Recommend SF designation to cover this part of the site at this stage.

R127M - site adjacent to floodlit synthetic turf pitch (SF41). Perhaps more a development management issue but Draft Policy KL5 should acknowledge the adjacency of this facility as a constraint on this allocation which could impact on its capacity and net density of the site for housing as Sport England would object to a scheme which introduced sensitive land uses adjacent to this pitch which in turn may impact on its current hours of use as a result of noise complaints, amenity issues etc.

Designation for Casterton School playing field and adjacent land

Support in part

Casterton School - the synthetic pitch is now designated as SF which is welcomed however this should be extended to include a small sided MUGA and changing pavilion immediately adjacent to this facility.

Similarly there is a playing field adjoining this facility to the east however this is designated as amenity open space (no public access). Given that this site is a playing field the designation should be altered to SF.

Milnthorpe

4 (1 of 2) Milnthorpe (with Ackenthwaite)

RN140

Similar comments apply to those raised in respect of Allocation R127M in Kirkby Lonsdale - proximity to floodlit facility and impact on its operation. It does also not appear that RN140 is referrred to as a housing allocation under Draft Policy M3.

Natland

11 Natland

SF121

Support in part

Extend designation to cover wider functional playing field (same extent as allocation AS93)

Ulverston

35 (4 of 5) Ulverston East

SF118

Support in part

It is not clear as to whether the detached building immediately to the west of the playing field is the changing accommodation serving the site. If this is the case then the designation should be extended to inlcude this building

Ulverston

35 (2 of 5) Ulverston North

RN178

Support in part

RN178 - this forms part of the functional area of playing field. Designations SF125&126 should therefore be extended to cover the whole of the usable area of playing field inlcuding this part of the site.

Ulverston

35 (3 of 5) Ulverston South

R33/R126M, AS67/SF128 & SF99/PS53/RN191/192

Oppose

Support in part

R33/R126M - the site appears to include a golf driving range. Such a facility would be afforded protection unless it can be demonstrated through the Council's PPG 17 Study that it is genuinely surplus to requirements.

SF128 - extend designation to cover whole site as usable playing field.

SF99 etc - extend designation to cover whole site
