We are setting up a petition for the local government to recognise the support and need of a full time venue. To promte the health and wellbeing of those current and future members in Aylesbury and surrounding areas for a martial arts centre. We are awaiting planning permission on change of use of premises and we are up against guideline "PPS6" that state. "PPS6 �Planning for Town Centres� advises that an applicant should demonstrate that there is a need for such facility and then a sequential approach should be taken towards site selection for retail and leisure uses. This requires that sites within existing centres be looked at first followed by edge of centre locations, then out of centre locations. When weighing up competing sites preference should also be given to those sites that are well connected to the town centre and served by a choice of means of transport". Plus show that the "ALUTS" Aylesbury Land Use/ Transport Strategy. Is aimed at new developnments and this classes change of use for premises as a new development and seems to be a very rigid guideline. We hope to seek as many signatures.
