Local Plan Review Evidence

Open space, sport and recreation

Evidence we've gathered relating to open space, sport and recreation in Swale for the local plan review.

The Borough's open space, sport and recreation provision

The Open Spaces and Play Area Strategy (2018-2022) (PDF 268KB) and the Playing Pitch Strategy (2015-2025) (PDF 662KB) are adopted strategies based on robust and up-to-date assessments of the Borough’s open space, sport and recreation provision. They both form part of the evidence base for the Local Plan Review with regard to the provision of open space, sport and recreation facilities required as a result of new development.

The Built Facility Assessment and Strategy (BFS) (PDF 2.9MB) provides an assessment of the need for built Sports Facilities in Swale. It informs and guides future provision of built sports facilities to serve existing and new communities in Swale and focusses on facility provision in the context of health and wellbeing, reflecting locally identified needs.
