Sport England does not disagree with the proposed policy wording, however, it would like to make it clear that modern floodlighting (and therefore modern sports grounds/tennis courts/football pitches etc) can be designed to keep light pollution to a minimum and would refer to the below guidance, as the addition of floodlighting can significantly increase the hours in which facilities are available to the local community.
