REPORT
The Minister accepts the amendment, subject to further amendment. The Minister's further amendment is supported by the independent planning inspectors.
The principle of seeking to ensure that land is used to best meets the needs of the community, including those related to community use, is a fundamental objective of the Plan and this policy can be appropriately used to identify specific requirements.
The Minister, therefore, supports the proposed amendment on the basis that it seeks to safeguard land for community use only, in relation to an existing facility.
In so doing, the Minister and the inspectors have noted that there is discrepancy between Deputy I.J. Gorst of St. Clement's description of the land involved at paragraph (b) of the amendment, and the site plan submitted in support of the amendment. On this basis, the Minister has sought to amend the amendment to clarify the land involved, for the avoidance of doubt. This involves the addition of Field 243, La Grande Route de St. Clement , St. Clement to the policy, and an associated revision to the Proposals Map.
It is important to note, however, that the Minister's acceptance of this proposed amendment in no way carries with it any implicit or explicit acceptance of any associated development that may be necessary to deliver the development of additional sports facilities: the proposed amendment simply serves to safeguard land for community use. The inspectors also endorse this significant point, which is important to note.
