Part of the area adjacent to the main pitch,annotated on the Proposals Map, is in the ownership of the Health Authority. Nodevelopment will be permitted on this particular area unless it is specifically required tobe used for improved community health care facilities.2.5.12Trowbridge Cricket Ground is an important local facility and is used as the County CricketGround where a number of international cricket matches have been held in recent years. Apart of the overall area in use for the cricket ground is in the ownership of the HealthAuthority. In order to secure the continued viability of the cricket ground, its practicefacilities and its ability to stage major events, it is important that this part of the arearemains in use in association with the existing pitch. It is acknowledged, however, that89
should the Health Authority require the land to provide enhanced health care facilities, thenit ought to be utilised for that purpose.R10R10Poulton Field, Bradford on AvonMore effective use of Poulton Field, Bradford on Avon will be sought for recreationalpurposes. Development proposals for recreational use will be permitted and theimprovement of on-site facilities and the dual use of adjacent school fields for widercommunity use will be encouraged.2.5.16Poulton Field, Bradford on Avon comprises two areas totalling approximately 7 hectares,which are in use as playing fields. The western field is education authority land serving theFitzmaurice Primary School; the eastern field is owned by the District Council. It isconsidered that more use could be made of the Poulton Field area if the reclaimed clay pitto the west were used for car parking (Policy CA4). The District Council recognises theinterests and obligations of the education authority but feels that the two fields should beconsidered as a whole, for dual use by the general public, and include improved facilitiessuch as changing rooms, formal courts etc providing enhanced sporting opportunities for thelocal area and the town as a whole.R12AllotmentsR12Development proposals which involve the loss of existing allotment sites will not bepermitted unless appropriate alternative provision is made elsewhere, or it can bedemonstrated that there is no longer demand for such a use locally.2.5.19R13Allotments can contribute to the greenspace of urban environments, as well as providing fora specific recreational demand from the public. Sites should not be lost unless replacedelsewhere or their use is proved to be no longer in demand.Sailing LakesR13The recreational use of existing sailing lakes will be safeguarded and developmentproposals will be permitted which enhance such use, subject to environmental andhighway considerations.Proposals for further new sailing lakes and associated facilities will be permittedelsewhere in the District having regard to location, environmental and highwayconsiderations, in consultation with the Environment Agency.2.5.20The sailing lakes at Station Road, Westbury and Shearwater on the Longleat Estate areimportant recreational resources.
