We have been working with schools and education professionals across Greater Manchester to develop this fifth edition for 2011.

  • Ssog Pepper Rd Planning Design
    Stockport School of Gymnastics Planning Design & Access Statement for Change of Use of Unit 1 Pepper Road, Hazel Grove Planning, Design & Access Statement: Revision 05/04/10 Unit 1 Pepper Road, Hazel Grove Summary Overview Stockport School of Gymnastics (SSoG) is a Community Amateur Sports Club based at Dialstone Recreation Centre Target Life Offerton. The Club is a British Gymnastics affiliated organisation and holds Sport England Club Mark accreditation, evidence of the Club offering a safe, child friendly training environment with a proven ethos for development and improvement. The Club‟s development plan, approved by British Gymnastics, identifies a number of drivers for moving from our current leisure centre base to a permanent training facility; foremost amongst these are: i) An aspiration to improve the performance and competition results of the Club Squad through providing an enhanced training environment and attracting more highly qualified coaches ii) A desire to broaden the Club‟s recreational gymnastics programme for the benefit of the local community, particularly South Stockport‟s young people. Current arrangements at Dialstone are not amenable to this goal and in recent years the Club has investigated and progressed a number of unsuccessful alternative options in support of the above vision. This has now become a critical issue for the club as the Dialstone Centre is to be disposed of by Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council, tenders due in by 9th August 2010. The Club believes that the opportunity described within this document, based on the change of use of an industrial unit (Unit 1 Pepper Road, Hazel Grove) offers the optimum balance of benefit versus impact for all key stakeholders including the local community, surrounding industrial neighbours, Stockport Sports Trust and SSoG members and associates.
