The Government's proposed sale of public assets did not include plans to dispose of playing fields, sports facilities and libraries, which are primarily matters for local authorities. Any asset sales would be based on proposals by individual local authorities as central Government do not determine what assets they may wish to sell.
On the subject of playing fields, I would like to outline current protections. Since 1998, any proposed sale of school playing fields by a local authority has required permission from the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families. Additionally, local authorities are required to consult Sport England where planning applications affect land used as a playing field in the preceding five years. In April this year these protections were strengthened further by reducing the size of land in question from 0.4 hectares to 0.2 hectares.
