Some forms of sport and recreational activities generate excessive levels of noise and disturbance. Typically these include car and motorcycle sports, go-karting, power boating, water skiing, model aircraft flying, and shooting; but that list is not intended to be exhaustive, given that new recreational activities are continually being developed.

The City Council accepts that there is an established and growing demand for participation in motorised sport and other recreational activities which may generate noise and disturbance. It would wish to see such sports and activities, where responsibly organised, properly accommodated within Lincoln and its wider area, and acknowledges that they may help divert anti- social behaviour. The City Council is also conscious that the scope for such development may be limited by the City's highly urbanised character and the implications that has for the amenities of others and the safeguarding of landscape and ecological assets.
