Report of the Strategic Director of Communities
Presented by the Community and Cimate Change Portfolio Holder

The report was presented by the Community and Climate Change Portfolio Holder.

Comments from the Community Scrutiny Committee on the report were considered and acknowledged in turn. The Portfolio Holder agreed with all responses from Officers.

The Portfolio Holder noted the recommendation from the Community Scrutiny Committee and moved an amendment to  state that ‘the Council will progress those projects that it has the resources to deliver within the timeline remaining for this Council’.

It was moved by Councillor M Wyatt, seconded by Councillor K Merrie and

RESOLVED THAT:

1) The North West Leicestershire Playing Pitches and Outdoor Sports, Built Facilities, and Open Spaces Strategies be approved and are  provided as an evidence base for the emerging North West Leicestershire Local Plan.

2) The Councill considers feasibility studies and will progress those projects, that it has the resources to deliver within the timeline remaining for this Council.


Reason for decision: Inclusion within the Local Plan will give a robust evidence base that will allow the Council and Parish/Town councils to potentially secure section 106 contributions from developers, as well as accessing other funding streams, to be able to improve the infrastructure around playing pitches, outdoor sports, built facilities, and open spaces.
