Lack of clarity within supporting text and policy with regard to what is required in terms of indoor sports facilities. Table 6.4 does not provide any reference to development thresholds nor hectares per 1,000 population. The requirements appear to be general standards for all communities rather than relating to specific development. Unclear to a decision maker or applicant as to what is required in terms of built sport and recreation facilities. Provision of on-site built sport and recreation facilities will only be relevant in very few circumstances with improvements in provision largely being provided by the Council using the Community Infrastructure Levy or other financial contributions.
Recommend that reference to the provision of indoor facilities is removed from this policy. If onsite facilities are required, this should be agreed with the site promoter and set out in the site allocation.
