Abstract

Addresses the land use implications of sport and physical recreation and also encompasses aspects of informal physical recreation that take place in urban open spaces, which are significant land uses in our towns and cities, and large areas of the countryside which are shared by those enjoying outdoor pursuits and seeking places for quiet relaxation. Also describes the role of the planning system in making provision for sports and physical recreation and protecting and enhancing open space. In addition to the general guidance, there is specific planning guidance given in respect of particular sports.
