The Government has announced plans to tighten planning rules on the development of school and community sports facilities. New guidance advises local authorities to carry out audits of recreation space and provide additional facilities if shortfalls are identified. Open space may only be sold off where it can be shown that it is not needed for outdoor recreation.
