The Health Impact Analysis published alongside the draft Heathrow Expansion National Policy Statement identified 671 sports and recreational facilities within a 15km radius of Heathrow Airport. The facilities included playing fields, leisure centres, sports clubs, golf clubs, gyms and recreational fields, however the Department does not hold separate counts for those categories.
