Sport England, in partnership with the Department of Communities and Local Government, provides a new guide to planning applications aimed at sports clubs who want to improve their facilities.

Making a planning application provides practical advice that will help clubs avoid the frustrations of falling foul of the system as they enhance the sporting opportunities on offer.

Step-by-step guidance is provided on the five stages of applying for, and securing, planning permission:

  • Reviewing the options
  • Preparing the application
  • Submitting the application
  • The decision
  • Implementing the decision.
