Respondent: Sport England
Sport England supports urban growth being concentrated in existing urban areas. New residential development will need to provide on site facilities for sport and informal physical activity (walking, cycling etc). Priorities for formal sport will be determined by the Bedford Playing Pitch Strategy (2021).
Sport England have published 'Active Design' which can help developers ensure that new development areas plan properly for sport and physical activity, more information is available here: https://www.sportengland.org/how-we-can-help/facilities-and-planning/design-and-cost-guidance/active-design
Policies should ensure that existing facilities are protected, including playing fields, games courts, indoor facilities and multi-use games areas
