I would recommend that consideration is given to changing the title to Directing New Tourism, Sport, Leisure and Cultural Development
Leisure and Sport are different but have a lot of similarities. I am happy with the wording of the policy as I believe it can apply to sport without being detrimental to it.

The Canal Corridor should be protected from development, as is important both as a leisure space and as part of the tourism economy.

The approach of CT1 does not reflect the NPPF specifically paragraph 28 that advises to support a strong rural economy local plans should support sustainable rural tourism and leisure developments. This should support the provision and expansion of tourist and visitor facilities at appropriate locations where identified needs are not met by existing facilities in rural service centres. Stoneleigh Park is a major tourist attraction as paragraph 3.114 confirms. As drafted CT1 would direct new improved tourism and leisure developments away from Stoneleigh Park.
