Planning Application no. 2012/0482/LA
The planning application is due to be heard by the Planning Committee on 2nd. August.
PROPOSAL:
-
Post Olympic reinstatement as a ‘public park’
-
Provision of a junior-sized grass football pitch
-
Relocation of the synthetic turf pitch
-
Formation of play areas
-
Refurbishment of the Sport England pavilion
-
New pathways and landscaping
-
Provision of an Urban Beach
The adult grass football pitch is not to be restored, despite the Council’s own Playing Pitch Strategy accepting that there is a lack of such provision in the south of the borough and stating that all current facilities should be protected. The report to the Planning Committee states that ‘on consideration’ there are insufficient grounds to withhold consent.
