Site ref S126: Hole Two, Silverdale Golf Course
The plan appears to show that part of the Golf Course would be lost to development. Sport England object to this allocation until such time as either:
1) an up to date and robust Needs Assessement (carried out within the last 3 years) clearly demonstrates the land is surplus to requirements to meet the requiremnts of paragraph 74(i) of NPPF; or
2) the part of the golf course is replaced by an equivalent or better quantity and quality to meet the requirements of paragrapgh 74(ii)
3) Sport England strongly advise consulting with England Golf to ascertain whether this part of the Golf Course is surplus to requirement or should be replaced.
