RESOLVED: that, subject to referral to the Government Office of the South West

APPROVE

For the following reasons

The provision of enhanced local facilities would accord with national and local guidance as expressed in PPS1, PPS4 and PPS7 and the Local Plan policies G1, PS1, R1A and PS3, and though the proposal will detrimentally effect the current cricket pitch, this is substandard and a newly constructed square in an alternative position would be beneficial to the playing of sport and therefore the proposal would be in accordance with the aims of PPG17

REASON: To comply with the provisions of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
