Prevent new occupiers getting public amateur cricket grounds shut

Clubs have been forced to change their operations, and even fold, because new residents, knowing there is a cricket ground bordering their property, then dislike the "impact" on their living. In all cases I have come across, the Cricket club was there first, in the case of Goodmayes, by over 90 years. Compulsory binding due diligence would prevent actions that will further accelerate the diminishing numbers of people playing recreational cricket. Sixes, not NIMBYs.
