5 improving cuture, arts and sporting opportunities through panning section 1 introduction Greater London Authority We must remember that panning and buiding are about the ong term, not simpy quick-fix approaches. There are sound economic reasons for incuding cuture and sport in the mix which makes up sustainabe deveopment. M. Chang, P. Chichester, S. Eden, C. Freeman, J. Hoden and J. Wison: Baet in Bognor, handba in Hu? Panning for cuture and sport. Town & Country Panning, 2012, Vo. 81, Oct., In recent years cuture, arts and sport have been widey used to drive regeneration, buid cohesive communities and change the way that paces are perceived. Successfu projects such as the cutura regeneration of the Newcaste-Gateshead waterfront, Liverpoo s year as European City of Cuture in 2008, the 2002 Commonweath Games in Manchester and the 2012 London Oympics have iustrated some of the ways in which major cutura projects can be used to boost economic deveopment and regeneration and increase community cohesion. And it is important to note that smaer-scae initiatives in which, for exampe, a oca community might be invoved in designing and ooking after a pay area, commissioning a pubic art project, or rejuvenating a ibrary can aso pay a significant roe in changing the way an area is seen and in buiding oca confidence. However, vita as such wider community objectives are, it is important to remember that cutura and sporting activities are of vaue in their own right, and opportunities and faciities must be provided aongside housing, heath, education and other community services. 3

6 improving cuture, arts and sporting opportunities through panning Guidance can never repace oca judgement and the appication of professiona expertise it can merey assist... Guidance can and shoud carify the ground rues for these processes, so there is carity about approach, where evidence can be sourced, etc. but guidance shoud support the appication of oca skis and judgement, not automate them. Guidance aso has a crucia roe in heping identify what information is required in different circumstances. Lord Tayor of Goss Moor: Externa Review of Government Panning Practice Guidance. Department for Communities and Loca Government, Dec Working creativey within the Nationa Panning Poicy Framework, and buiding on the new core panning principe supporting heath, socia and cutura webeing, a positive approach to panning can hep to promote economic prosperity, heath and webeing and buid safe, vibrant and cohesive communities. Within this broader aim, the panning system can be used by oca authorities, other organisations, communities and individuas to hep deveop a strong oca cutura and sporting offer. 1.1 The aim of the guide This guide provides an authoritative, athough not exhaustive, resource for panners and cuture and sport practitioners in Engand. It is designed to enabe them to pan effectivey for cuture, arts and sport through the panning system, and it demonstrates the art of the possibe in using the panning system as a means of achieving oca priorities. The guidance provided is non-statutory, but is supported by organisations from across the cuture, arts, sport and panning sectors, and its adoption within the panning process is encouraged by these organisations. The approaches detaied in the guide have been deveoped to support the poicies set out in the Nationa Panning Poicy Framework. 1.2 Using the guide This guide is for practitioners in oca authorities, pubic agencies, deveopers and community and stakehoder organisations who are invoved in town panning and in panning for cuture, arts and sport. It provides a gateway to access more detaied information on the process and outcomes of panning for cuture, arts and sport, and it can be used as the basis of engagement and coaboration between panners and cuture and sport practitioners. The guide wi hep oca authority panners and cuture and eisure officers to meet the nationa requirement to identify and positivey pan for improved opportunities in cutura, sport and eisure provision both within Loca Pan poicies and in making panning decisions. It wi hep practitioners in the vountary and community sectors to better engage with the panning process in order to ensure that oca needs for new or improved faciities and services are deivered through deveopment and regeneration initiatives. And it wi hep deveopers to understand the specific cuture and sport provision needs arising from deveopment, enhance their partnership-working capacity, and provide greater vaue in return for private-sector investment. Deveopers have an important partner roe in enabing deveopment, through their skis and financia investment; this is recognised in the guide. 1.3 The Cuture and Sport Panning Tookit The Cuture and Sport Panning Tookit (CSPT) is an onine resource to hep practitioners invoved in panning for housing growth and regeneration to deiver cutura and sporting infrastructure. This guide compements the CSPT, which contains further resources, information and case studies. The CSPT wi be reguary reviewed to ensure that the information, advice and resources it offers are kept up to date and refect current poicy. The CSPT can be accessed at org.uk/ 4

7 improving cuture, arts and sporting opportunities through panning section 2 cuture, arts and sport Greater London Authority Creativity, beauty and history resonate throughout the city and for some, their most vaued cutura experiences wi not be a treasure in a famous museum, but visiting an art gaery in the East End, going to a oca venue to watch a band pay in Camden or discovering an exempar of 17th century baroque architecture. Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, writing in the foreword to Cutura Metropois: The Mayor s Cutura Strategy 2012 and Beyond. Mayor of London. Greater London Authority, Panning for the provision of opportunities to participate in cuture, arts and sport meets a key requirement of the Nationa Panning Poicy Framework (see Section 3.1 of this guide). Cuture, arts and sport are fundamenta to buiding sustainabe communities in which peope want to ive and work (see Box 1, on the next page). Participation in cutura and sporting activities enhances peope s persona enjoyment, deveopment, and fufiment and improves their physica and menta heath and webeing. And high-quaity cutura and sports faciities hep to make paces more attractive, hep to boost economic activity and prosperity, and aid the deveopment of shared identities and increased understanding between different communities. 2.1 Outcomes for cuture, arts and sport Many oca authorities work with a range of oca partners to define the priorities for the communities they serve. Such high-eve priorities are frequenty set out in the oca authority s Sustainabe Community Strategy or the Heath and 5

8 improving cuture, arts and sporting opportunities through panning Box 1 Key benefits of providing for cuture, arts and sport Economic vaue Economic benefits in urban and rura communities can accrue through cuture and eisure-ed regeneration, tourism and and the visitor economy, and through the deveopment of infrastructure essentia to underpin the creative industries. Physica and psychoogica heath and webeing Art in the pubic ream is an important factor in generating coective webeing i and a sense of pace and beonging. The participatory arts offer opportunities to buid meaningfu socia engagement, and participation in sport is important to physica webeing and in tacking heath issues. Invovement in cutura and sporting activities can enabe peope who woud otherwise be excuded to enter into the ife of the community. Pace-making We designed cutura venues, theatres and sports faciities add considerabe vaue to the buit environment by attracting visitors, generating increased activity, and heping to create paces where peope (not east young peope) want to ive. ii Stronger communities Thriving cutura and sporting activities can hep in buiding and maintaining socia capita encouraging strong community bonds, active citizenship and participation. iii Senses of identity, pace, ownership and beonging are among the significant benefits that cuture, arts and sport activities bring to a community and its environment. Cutura faciities such as museums and ibraries contribute to the cutivation of attractive, vibrant, busy paces that peope can enjoy in safety. High-quaity outdoor space enriches oca cuture, and engaging young peope in sport and cuture is a way of fostering socia incusion and preventing antisocia behaviour. Support for education, skis and ifeong earning Libraries pay a roe at the heart of the community in supporting ifeong earning. Partnerships between schoos and museums and the arts can have a positive impact upon educationa attainment. i ii M. White: Arts in Heath: A New Prognosis.

10 improving cuture, arts and sporting opportunities through panning Source: Cuture and Sport Panning Tookit The framework is intended to hep organisations to measure and evidence the difference that the deveopment and/or improvement of cuture and sport services can make in achieving the desired outcomes on matters of high-eve priority. The approach taken in the oca outcomes framework guide inks service outcomes, infuenced by the way the oca authority works with the cuture, arts and sport sectors, to intermediate outcomes and overarching strategic outcomes (see Tabe 1 on the preceding page). 2.2 Defining cuture, arts and sport The term cuture, arts and sport as used in this guide broady corresponds to the areas overseen by the Department for Cuture, Media and Sport (DCMS). It covers activities such as the visua arts, music, the performing arts, crafts, sport, eisure, and tourism, as we as the creative industries (such as advertising, architecture, design, pubishing, teevision and radio, fim and digita media, software and IT design), and the provision of faciities and services such as theatres, museums, ibraries, and archives, in addition to the protection of the historic environment. Whie these categories are hepfu in identifying activities that fa within, in particuar, the heading of cuture, any ist is unikey to encapsuate in fu its wide and open-ended nature. Cuture: encompasses an area s shared-memory experiences and identity; incudes both minority and majority interests; both incudes the exceent and encourages wider, more incusive participation; vaues both the traditiona and the experimenta; emphasises ifeong earning and the reease of creativity; and is fundamenta to peope s psychoogica heath and webeing and their quaity of ife. It may therefore be usefu for panners to consider the foowing ways in which cuture, arts and sport contribute to community ife: Pace-shaping: The joint DCMS and Department for Communities and Loca Government pubication Word Cass Paces, issued in 2009, drew attention to the importance of pace-making. It identified a range of factors that contribute to quaity of pace and engender a sense of pace and beonging incuding we designed buidings, the pubic ream and green spaces, imaginative use of pubic art, sensitive treatment of historic buidings and sites, and provision of and access to a good mix of services and amenities in town and rura centres. Providing adequate and appropriate infrastructure: Cutura, arts and sporting faciities and services are important eements of a ocaity s community infrastructure. Boosting diversity and vibrancy: Athough important, buidings and physica infrastructure are not in themseves sufficient to ensure cutura vibrancy and participation. Loca cubs and societies and cutura, arts and sporting businesses and organisations provide the key 8

Panners may find it usefu to consider the DCMS Cuture and Sport Evidence (CASE) programme s grouping of cutura, arts and sporting infrastructure assets into broad categories, or physica asset primary descriptions, 2 as shown in Tabe 2 (see aso Section 6 of this guide). Cutura participation and engagement is not aways dependent on dedicated cutura infrastructure provision. Many festivas and events which have significant impact on oca areas use temporary or non-dedicated venues, such as pubic open spaces. Many pubs pay an important roe in promoting ive music, and many oca cutura groups, such as book cubs or choirs, meet in private houses or community has. Simiary, faciities wi frequenty have mutipe uses. When resources are under pressure, co-ocation or muti-use is an efficient and costeffective way to provide access to cuture and sport. Schoo, coege and university faciities frequenty serve an educationa purpose and contribute to cuture and sport provision for the wider oca community; and sports faciities are often used to deiver pubic heath programmes. 2 Cuture and Sport Physica Asset Mapping Tookit TBR, and the Cities Institute, for the Department for Cuture, Media and Sport, in coaboration with Arts Counci Engand, Engish Heritage, the Museums, Libraries and Archives Counci, and Sport Engand, Aug

12 improving cuture, arts and sporting opportunities through panning section 3 the poicy and deveopment context Source: Cuture and Sport Panning Tookit Panning for cuture, arts and sport takes pace not in a vacuum but within a context of egisative, poicy and strategic frameworks and toos. This section focuses on the poicy and operationa context of the current panning system, with particuar reference to key changes brought about by the Locaism Act 2011 and the Nationa Panning Poicy Framework (introduced in 2012). Detaied information and advice on practica approaches to panning for cuture, arts and sport are set out in Section 4 of this guide. 3.1 The panning poicy context The Nationa Panning Poicy Framework The Nationa Panning Poicy Framework (NPPF) requires panners to take account of and support oca strategies to improve heath, socia and cutura webeing for a (para. 17). It is the soe panning poicy guidance document and forms the materia basis for deveoping oca poicies and oca decision-making on individua panning appications. The NPPF consoidates and repaces previous government guidance such as Panning Poicy Statements and Panning Poicy Guidance Notes. Foowing the Tayor Review of Government Panning Practice Guidance, further guidance wi be deveoped by the Government, but this wi be seective and brief. 10 Sustainabe deveopment runs as a goden thread through the NPPF, and within this overarching aim panning s socia roe encompasses the requirement

One of the 12 core panning principes set out in Nationa Panning Poicy Framework. Department for Communities and Loca Government, Mar. 2012, para to support a community s cutura webeing. The NPPF draws particuar attention to the provision of physica, socia, cutura, heritage, environmenta and sporting faciities (paras 70 and 156 among others), and to coaborative working with key deivery partners on infrastructure panning (para. 162). Further advice is set out in Section 4 and Appendix B in this guide The Loca Pan Loca authorities are required to produce a Loca Pan for the deveopment and use of and over a year period. The Loca Pan shoud incude information on the aocation of sites for a particuar type of deveopment or use and guideines on the determination of appications for panning permission. Suppementary panning documents to aid panning appications and infrastructure deivery can aso be produced. Further advice on working with the Loca Pan is set out in Section 4.4 of this guide. In London, the boroughs oca deveopment documents have to be in genera conformity with the London Pan, which is aso egay part of each borough s deveopment pan Neighbourhood panning Loca communities and business districts can now deveop a statutory neighbourhood panning document under the provisions of the Locaism Act Once adopted by the oca panning authority as part of the statutory Loca Pan, it wi be used for making decisions on panning appications. Further advice on working with neighbourhood panning is set out in Section 4.5 of this guide. 3.2 Links to other processes Loca stakehoder organisations (such as Loca Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs), Loca Nature Partnerships (LNPs), Heath and Webeing Boards, and Cinica Commissioning Groups (repacing Primary Care Trusts) 3 ) and other cutura and eisure groupings (such as county sports partnerships and oca cutura partnerships) have an important roe to pay in supporting strategic panning arrangements and infuencing Loca Pan priorities. Eary engagement of such partnerships in the panmaking process is important for the foowing reasons: Co-ordination: A wide range of organisations are invoved in LEPs and LNPs, many operating at a nationa eve. Engagement wi hep to generate informed debate on strategic priorities and coud aso provide access to wider experience and/or expertise than might be found in the oca authority. Aignment: The business priorities (and growth pans) of LEPs reating to cuture and sport shoud aign with those identified in the oca pan-making process, particuary where there is a need to promote specific actions. This wi hep in generating ong-term investor confidence, but it coud aso offer potentia funding opportunities. Funding: In a word of imited pubic funding, it is vita that fu consideration is given to how any aspirations for cuture and sport promoted through Loca Pans can be deivered. Groups of oca authorities and oca pubic, private and community partners may have access to a range of funding opportunities, particuary given their commissioning roe on strategic infrastructure and access to growth funds. They can aso hep in highighting key projects which might attract private sector funding. 3 See A. Ross, with M. Chang: Reuniting Heath with Panning Heathier Homes, Heathier Communities.

15 improving cuture, arts and sporting opportunities through panning 4.1 Principes The key guiding principes for practitioners when panning for cuture, arts and sport incude: Adopt an incusive partnership approach with the pubic, private and third sectors. Be cear about intended outcomes from the outset, and be cear about how these outcomes are to be fed into the panning process, whether through a cutura strategy, an action pan, an infrastructure study, or a suppementary panning document. Base decisions on oca evidence on the quaity and quantity of existing provision, and extend opportunities to participate in, and engage with, cutura, arts and sporting activities. Aign decisions with the strategic priorities and pans of the oca authority. Ensure that panning for cuture, the arts and sporting opportunities fits into wider community services and infrastructure panning processes and timeframes. 4.2 The Nationa Panning Poicy Framework Sustainabe deveopment is defined for the UK by the 2005 Sustainabe Deveopment Strategy, 4 which sets out five guiding principes as the basis of poicymaking. These principes underpin the roe of panning in achieving sustainabe deveopment and are reevant to panning for cuture, arts and sport, in terms of providing physica infrastructure, extending access to participation in cuture and sporting activities, improving the oca environment, and engaging cutura practitioners in the panning process. The NPPF sets out 12 core panning principes that shoud underpin both pan-making and decisiontaking. It states that panning s socia roe incudes supporting cutura webeing, and it stipuates that panning shoud take account of and support oca strategies to improve heath, socia and cutura webeing for a. The checkist for practitioners in Appendix B in this guide focuses on the opportunities presented by poicies in the NPPF that can be used to hep improve provision of and access to cutura and sporting opportunities through pan-making and panning decisions on individua panning appications for new deveopment. The questions posed in the checkist form a starting point for ensuring the Loca Pan takes into account nationa poicies set out in the NPPF. When considering the questions in the checkist, first answer the foowing questions: At what stage is the Loca Pan or neighbourhood pan? Are there existing county-wide, corporate or informa joint structures or processes that can be tapped into? Who is the key contact in the forward panning, deveopment management, and cutura and eisure services teams of the oca authority? What specific roes and contributions can other stakehoder organisations in the cuture and arts sector provide to assist oca authority officers? What is the standing advice of statutory agencies such as Sport Engand, Engish Heritage and Natura Engand? 4.3 Strategic co-operation and coaboration The NPPF encourages the deveopment of new and innovative ways of coaboration and co-operation among oca and strategic partners and deivery organisations across the pubic, private and community sectors.

16 improving cuture, arts and sporting opportunities through panning Case Study 1 Effective engagement with the panning process in Tower Hamets Tower Hamets Counci has recenty concuded the process of producing the major documents that make up its Loca Pan. Cutura and eisure provision is embedded in these documents at a eves from the Core Strategy to the Panning Obigations Suppementary Panning Document, as we as in the Community Infrastructure Levy proposas currenty under consutation. Cuture and eisure practitioners engaged with panning coeagues continuousy and consistenty from the very eary stages of the panmaking process in 2007, resuting in cuture, arts and sport infrastructure provision being successfuy embedded within spatia poicies. In addition to engaging at a poicy eve, cutura services officers aso put in pace a streamined and cost-effective process for responding to a panning appications for deveopment above a certain size. This has heped to reinforce poicy impementation in the day-to-day business of assessing panning appications, and panning obigations have been secured from arge numbers of deveopments. Further information is avaiabe at sports faciities of regiona significance, with wide catchment areas that cross oca administrative boundaries, arrangements for ongoing diaogue and co-ordination shoud be set up within the panning process oca authorities shoud take a eading roe as part of the deveopment of their strategic panning poicies and to meet the requirements of the Duty to Co-operate. 5 In two-tier areas, county councis can pay an important faciitating roe for the work of district-eve oca authorities in London the Greater London Authority aready pays an important roe by setting out strategic poicies in the London Pan. The NPPF sets out the provision of heath, security, community and cutura infrastructure and other oca faciities as a key strategic priority on which oca authorities shoud co-operate. Co-operation shoud be a continuous and meaningfu process, and partners shoud aspire to produce joint strategies, poicies or guidance. Under the new strategic panning arrangements it wi be important for organisations such as LEPs, LNPs, the Cinica Commissioning Groups that are repacing Primary Care Trusts, and informa oca groups to be activey engaged in ensuring that strategic priorities for sport and cutura provision are propery addressed. Here, it wi be essentia to highight the wider socia, economic and environmenta benefits of major community faciities such as sporting venues, eisure centres, museums, ibraries, theatres, gaeries and parks. 4.4 The oca panning framework The panning system is pan-ed i.e. decisions on panning appications are made in accordance with poicies and strategic priorities in the Loca Pan. Loca Pans must be supported by a proportionate evidence base and must conform with requirements set out in the NPPF. The degree to which efforts to infuence the content of a Loca Pan and embed cutura, arts and sporting opportunities in poicies wi prove successfu wi depend in part on the stage of preparation that the Loca Pan, or a neighbourhood pan, is at when such efforts are made. Engagement by and with communities and stakehoders in the cutura, arts and sport sectors eary in the panmaking process wi be of greater benefit than simpy responding to a consutation at draft pan stage, during an Examination in Pubic, or when new deveopments are brought forward and deveoper contributions are sought. Loca panning shoud aign with the oca authority s corporate strategies and other strategies for for exampe cuture, open space, and heath and webeing. A shared vision for cuture, arts and sport shoud inform the Loca Pan process and feed into, and be infuenced by, corporate priorities as set out in the Sustainabe Community Strategy. 5 Section 110 of the Locaism Act requires oca panning authorities to co-operate strategicay on pan-making issues that cross administrative borders. Strategic priorities for the Loca Pan set out in para. 156 of the NPPF incude the provision of heath, security, community and cutura infrastructure, whie Paras of the NPPF give further guidance on panning strategicay across oca boundaries, as required by the Duty to Co-operate 14

Reinforce submissions made to the pan-making process, seeking to improve and strengthen cuture and sport poicies, with robust evidence. Check that the Loca Pan sets out cear, measurabe expected outcomes from cuture, arts and sport poicies. Check Community Infrastructure Levy charge and/or panning obigations spending against cuture, arts and sport provision. Engaging in the deveopment of oca panning frameworks provides key opportunities for oca cuture and sport panning to: ensure that cutura webeing is a part of the oca vision, by working with the oca cuture, arts and sport sectors and communities to understand aspirations for cuture, arts and sport and to ensure that they can be expressed as outcomes reevant to the oca area; secure community invovement and consutation; make the case for cuture, arts and sport provision as part of the wider infrastructure panning process; secure the provision of cutura, arts and sporting amenities; obtain deveoper contributions to cutura, arts and sporting faciities; promote custering or the mutipe use of faciities; and support the growth of oca tourism and cutura and creative businesses. Tabe 3 outines key actions to be undertaken in support of cuture, arts and sport provision during the various stages of preparing a oca panning document. 15

18 improving cuture, arts and sporting opportunities through panning Briefing Note Exampes of recenty competed Loca Pans with positive poicies on cuture, arts and sport The TCPA has compied a briefing note on exampes of recenty adopted and pubished Loca Pans containing positive poicies on cuture, arts and sport, iustrating the range of poicies that oca authorities have deveoped to meet oca needs. The briefing note is avaiabe from the Cuture and Sport Panning Tookit, at Gathering oca evidence The NPPF requires pan-making to be underpinned by robust evidence. Evidence-gathering shoud be informed by oca knowedge and expertise and shoud identify the roe payed and capacity provided by existing (and to be payed and provided by future) cuture, arts and sport provision. The gathering of such information, incuding a cear assessment of baseine data, shoud be embedded in infrastructure panning (see Section 4.7 of this guide) or in an assessment of oca needs and provision. Where possibe, there shoud be inks to other agendas and priorities arising from oca sustainabe deveopment objectives, incuding those reating to economic growth, education, heath and socia care, regeneration, and the natura environment. Comprehensive evidence-gathering is required, so as to inform decisions about the type and ocation of cuture, arts and sport infrastructure and/or about access to opportunities required to compement existing provision, fi gaps, and mitigate impacts and needs arising from new deveopment. Loca authorities and their partners shoud consider mapping existing assets and provision. Such mapping is an important strategic too to gauge access, catchment areas, quantity, quaity and capacity factors. It can aso underpin strategies to improve and enhance oca opportunities for cuture, arts and sport within the Loca Pan. The oca evidence base shoud provide information on existing and ikey future gaps in provision, and shoud support assessments of how cutura, arts and sporting faciities can be sustainaby buit and integrated into existing neighbourhoods. There is no one size fits a approach to undertaking assessment, but a range of toos and techniques are avaiabe for use at different stages, incuding both quaitative methods (such as focus groups) and quantitative methods (such as statistica anaysis and GIS cutura mapping). Further advice and information on evidencegathering is given in Section 4.7 of this guide Working at different panning scaes Panning for new deveopment, and for improvements to the existing environment, can take pace across different scaes, from the wide-area scae, with benefits spreading beyond oca authority boundaries, to major deveopments and smaer deveopments on sma sites. Deveopers can provide high-quaity cutura and sporting faciities within arge-scae deveopments and deveopments of strategic importance, such as sustainabe urban extensions and new stand-aone eco-deveopments or Garden Cities and Suburbs. 6 Deveopments of, for exampe, 5,000 new homes provide a major opportunity for individua sectors within cuture, arts and sport to pay to their provision strengths in a co-ordinated way. The creation of attractive, we functioning paces requires the successfu use of panning toos and approaches such as masterpanning and Area Action Pans to ensure that new deveopment: matches the aspirations of the oca vision; deivers the needs of oca and neighbourhood pans; maintains and improves existing faciities and services; provides new high-quaity, mixed-use faciities for communities; faciitates good access to and buids in opportunities for participation in cuture, arts and sport; and 6 See Creating Garden Cities and Suburbs Today: A Guide for Councis.

One of the most popuar faciities among residents is the Kings Warren sports paviion, deivered by Crest Nichoson as part of its commitment to buiding sustainabe new communities. Run by Red Lodge Parish Counci in partnership with Angia Community Centre, the compex comprises three grass footba pitches and three tennis courts which can be transformed into three five-a-side footba pitches, as we as a cricket fied. The paviion is aso avaiabe for private hire. Crest Nichoson s community package at Kings Warren incudes paygrounds, aotments and the newy buit St Christopher s Primary Schoo. Further information is avaiabe at Box 2 Neighbourhood panning documents A Neighbourhood Pan is a community-ed framework for guiding the future deveopment and growth of an area. It may contain a vision, aims, panning poicies, proposas for improving the area or providing new faciities, or the aocation of key sites for specific kinds of deveopment. Neighbourhood Pans can set out panning poicies and/or quaity standards for the provision and use of cuture, arts and sport faciities. Neighbourhood Deveopment Orders can be used by parish and town councis or designated neighbourhood forums to grant panning permission for certain kinds of deveopment within a specified area. They can appy to the whoe or just part of a neighbourhood area. In the cutura sector The Theatres Trust is a statutory consutee in Neighbourhood Deveopment Orders concerning theatres. Community Right to Buid Orders can be used by parish and town councis or a constituted body such as a community organisation to grant panning permission for deveopment schemes for exampe to approve the buiding of affordabe housing for rent or sae, shops, businesses, or community faciities and paygrounds, or the conversion of disused buidings into other cutura and eisure uses. In the cutura sector The Theatres Trust is a statutory consutee on Community Right to Buid Orders concerning theatres. Based on Quick Guide to Neighbourhood Pans. Locaity (undated). is deivered in coaboration with key cuture and sport partners, who are fuy invoved in identifying the right mix of provision. 4.5 Neighbourhood panning The new statutory eve of neighbourhood panning provides an opportunity for area-focused panning for cuture, arts and sporting to take pace ranging from protecting, retaining and enhancing existing access and uses to aocating and to provide further opportunities. Neighbourhood panning can be a powerfu too in deivering cuture, arts and sports faciities in the oca area if a the key stakehoders are invoved and communities are sufficienty resourced to undertake the preparation process (see Box 2). It can aso ever in additiona money from deveopments through the Community Infrastructure Levy (in parished areas where a neighbourhood pan is in pace the Community Infrastructure Levy charging authority must pass on 25% of CIL funds resuting from the grant of panning permission in the neighbourhood pan 17
