It is not clear from the policy what the expectations are in terms of which developments would be expected to provide indoor facilities. Given the complex nature and cost of providing indoor sports facilities, there should not be an expectation to provide such facilities unless they have formed part of the early masterplanning of the site.
Miller and Vistry are broadly supportive of this policy, having committed to deliver significant levels of new public open space on site. However, it is not clear from the policy what the expectations are in terms of which developments would be expected to provide indoor facilities. Given the complex nature and cost of providing indoor sports facilities, there should not be an expectation to provide such facilities unless they have formed part of the early masterplanning of the site. The West of Chichester development is masterplanned to provide space for indoor sport within the Community Building at the center of the site, along with suitable outdoor facilities.
