Greater Cambridge Housing Trajectory and Five Year Housing Land Supply - Main Document

Sport England wishes to comment that all significant housing allocations will need to make provision (either on site or off site) for sport and physical activity.

For football there is a Local Football Facilities Plan for Greater Cambridge which can help to identify priorities for investment.

Sport England, in conjunction with Public Health England, has produced 'Active Design' (October 2015), a guide to planning new developments, or enhancing existing areas, that create the right environment to help people get more active, more often in the interests of health and wellbeing. The guidance sets out ten key principles for ensuring new developments incorporate opportunities for people to take part in sport and physical activity. The Active Design principles are aimed at contributing towards the Government's desire for the planning system to promote healthy communities through good urban design and enhancements to the quality of existing areas. Sport England would commend the use of the guidance in the master planning process for new residential developments.
