The detail.
The use of the wider site, any other activities and the character of the proposal can affect the assessment. Court structures, fencing, lighting and associated works need separate consideration.
This guidance applies to England. The lawful use, conditions, any proposed works and the facts of the operation should be checked for each property.
What to check.
- Check the lawful use of the site and any existing conditions.
- Consider noise, lighting, hours, access and the design of the courts with a planning adviser.
A planning adviser or the local planning authority can advise on the specific property and proposal.
