Committee resolved to:
 

1.   
Agree the Council Administration’s proposal to allow the
consideration of new community development in the Council’s
recreation grounds and green open spaces; and
 

2.   
Approve changes to wording within the Community Lettings Policy
dated November 2022. Within Section 5 to replace the wording
“New development on recreation grounds or other green open
spaces will not be considered” with the following:
 
“New community
development on recreation grounds or other green open spaces will
only be considered when it is appropriate to do so and there is no
net adverse impact to the Biodiversity of the location. If it can
be demonstrated by the person/organisation making the application,
in consultation with the Councillors, that there is benefit to the
wider community, the matter will be considered in more detail. All
applications being progressed will be subject to a viability
assessment and due diligence, as set out in Appendix 6 and taken to
the Council’s Corporate Policy and Resources Committee.
