North Yorks councillors back plans to build on playing fields despite criticism from Sport England.
Sport England says the proposals would result in the loss of the school's playing field
The proposals for Greatwood Community Primary School in Skipton include new classrooms, a car park extension and a playground.However, North Yorkshire County Council officers said the scheme "would provide adequate outdoor space". Sport England said it would not support further loss of natural playing turf at the school and that an alternative replacement field should be provided to match the loss.
"We are supposed to be promoting healthy lifestyles and the first thing that you have got to do is get children out there and using playing fields, and they haven't got any to use," Councillor Mike Jordan said., officers told the meeting on balance the proposed development was acceptable as it was required to provide sufficient pupil places in the Skipton area before 2025.Aire Valley Councillor Andy Brown said it was difficult to understand the proposal without local knowledge.
