It updates the previous 2015 South Tyneside Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS) Assessment Report. In agreement with Sport England and the relevant National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs), the report presents an updated supply and demand assessment of playing pitch facilities in accordance with Sport England’s 2013 Guidance ‘Developing a Playing Pitch Strategy’. It has been followed to develop a clear picture of the balance between the local supply of, and demand for, playing pitches and other outdoor sports. The guidance details a stepped approach to developing a Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS). These steps are separated into five distinct sections: Stage A: Prepare and tailor the approach (Step 1) Stage B: Gather information and views on the supply of and demand for provision (Steps 2 & 3) Stage C: Assess the supply and demand information and views (Steps 4, 5 & 6) Stage D: Develop the strategy (Steps 7 & 8) Stage E: Deliver the strategy and keep it robust and up to date (Steps 9 & 10) Stages A to C are covered in this report. Stage A: Prepare and tailor the approach Why the PPS is being developed The main drivers for updating the 2015 Playing Pitch Strategy is to provide a robust and up-to-date evidence base to support new planning policies and land use allocations within the emerging South Tyneside Local Plan and to assist in the determination of planning applications. It will also contribute to the effective management and enhancement of sport and recreational provision within the Borough. The vision for the Playing Pitch Strategy is: ‘To provide a range of high quality facilities for the provision of playing pitch sport to encourage participation and enable South Tyneside to meet its current and future needs’. The key objectives for the Playing Pitch Strategy are: Provide a clear understanding of current and anticipated sport participation and playing pitch provision in South Tyneside. Provide a framework and action plan to support growth in participation in sport in line with National Governing Bodies objectives. Establish an up to date understanding of the demand for playing pitches and playing pitch sports (Football, Rugby Union, Cricket and Hockey), and an understanding of cross boundary participation of sports teams. Outline current and future demand for playing pitches and sports up to 2036 (Local Plan) and identify deficiencies or surpluses in provision and options for addressing these. Update strategic recommendations relating to the management of sites and potential enhancement of existing sites. December 2018 Assessment Report: Knight Kavanagh & Page 2 SOUTH TYNESIDE PLAYING PITCH STRATEGY ASSESSMENT REPORT The Local Plan South Tyneside Council is currently in the process of preparing a new Local Plan. The Local Plan will look ahead to 2036 and will set out strategic and detailed policies, including allocations for development and designations for other uses. As required by the recently released National Planning Policy Framework (2018), the Council will follow the new standardised methodology for determining the number of future homes required in the Borough. The Council is working towards a Pre-publication draft in July 2019; followed by a Publication Draft in February 2020 and Submission in July 2020. The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) has identified those sites in Table 1.1 as being potentially suitable for housing development which are identified as playing field land. To help inform this, the Council is reviewing and updating its evidence base to inform the appropriate policies and support the selection of sites for development (including where necessary, the potential for on/ off site mitigation and any supporting infrastructure). In part, this Assessment forms part of the evidence base to help inform future decisions on the sites to be allocated for housing within the emerging Local Plan alongside the future playing pitch demands arising from the growth proposed. Table 1.1: Potential playing field sites for housing allocations Site name Site address Settlement Current status The Clock Playing Field Victoria Road East Hebburn Used 2018/19 season South Shields and Westoe Dean Road South Shields Used 2018/19 season Sports Club and Playing Fields SouthTyneside College - Grosvenor Road South Shields Not used in 2018 due South Shields Campus to poor quality (playing fields) Brinkburn CA (lower playing McAnany Avenue South Shields Used 2018/19 season fields) Land at Chuter Ede Education Galsworthy Road South Shields Unknown Centre (excluding Brydon Court) Playing Fields at Chuter Ede Glasworthy Road South Shields Used 2018/19 season Please note that the above sites will be included within the Strategy (Stage D) to assess the impact of these being developed for housing together with possible conclusions/mitigation required. Management arrangements A Project Team from the Council has worked with KKP to ensure that all relevant information is readily available and to support the consultants as necessary to ensure that project stages and milestones are delivered on time and to the required quality standard to meet Sport England methodology. Further to this, the Steering Group is and has been responsible for the direction of the PPS from a strategic perspective and for supporting, checking and challenging the work of the project team. The Steering Group is made up of representatives from Sport England and NGBs. December 2018 Assessment Report: Knight Kavanagh & Page 3 SOUTH TYNESIDE PLAYING PITCH STRATEGY ASSESSMENT REPORT It will be important for the Steering Group to continue once the PPS has been finalised for several reasons, including a continuing responsibility to: Be a champion for playing pitch provision in the area and promote the value and importance of the PPS. Ensure implementation of the PPS’s recommendations and action plan. Monitor and evaluate the outcomes of the PPS. Ensure that the PPS is kept up to date and refreshed. Scope The following types of outdoor sports facilities were agreed by the Steering Group for inclusion in the Assessment and Strategy: Football pitches Cricket pitches Rugby union pitches Hockey/artificial grass pitches (AGPs) Bowling greens Tennis courts Athletics tracks Study area The local authority boundary of South Tyneside will provide the geographic scope of the PPS. South Tyneside Borough is considered to be the most appropriate functional area to conduct the review, with consideration given to Temple Park, Monkton Stadium and Chuter Ede in particular being strategic sporting hub locations that serve a borough-wide area. Further to this, sub areas, or analysis areas, have been created to allow a more localised assessment of provision and examination of playing pitch surpluses and deficiencies at a local level. Use of analysis areas also allows local circumstances and issues to be taken into account. South Tyneside is divided

  • Consultations from Neighbouring Councils on Planning Applications
    PLANNING AND HIGHWAYS COMMITTEE 17 th December 2009 CONSULTATIONS FROM NEIGHBOURING COUNCILS ON PLANNING APPLICATIONS REPORT OF THE DEPUTY CHIEF EXECUTIVE 1.0 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT 1.1 This report has two purposes. The first is to seek the Committee’s endorsement to responses made to two consultations from neighbouring Councils about planning applications affecting sites close to the common boundary with the City of Sunderland. The second is to seek authorisation for the Deputy Chief Executive to respond on the Committee’s behalf to similar future consultations on non major applications. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Where the Council is consulted by a neighbouring authority on planning applications in their area but which may have an impact on Sunderland’s interests, the common practice is to seek the approval of the Planning and Highways Committee to the form of the proposed response. However, the Council only has 21 days in which to respond to these consultations, which means in practical terms officers respond to these consultations on an interim basis and then seek the Planning and Highways Committee’s endorsement of the comments made. 2.2 Under the Council’s Constitution any major application made to Sunderland City Council for development of 10 houses or above or of 500 sq m. of other development is not delegated to the Deputy Chief Executive for determination, but is determined by the appropriate Area Development Control Sub-Committee. It is proposed that where the Council is consulted on an application in the area of a neighbouring authority which is above this same size threshold then the response should continue to be made by this Committee, whereas for all other minor applications below this threshold the Committee would delegate the authority to respond to the Deputy Chief Executive.

  • Australia and the Pacific
    AUSTRALIA AND THE PACIFIC: THE AMBIVALENT PLACE OF PACIFIC PEOPLES WITHIN CONTEMPORARY AUSTRALIA Scott William Mackay, BA (Hons), BSc July 2018 Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Australian Indigenous Studies Program School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne 0000-0002-5889 – Abstract – My thesis examines the places (real and symbolic) accorded to Pacific peoples within the historical production of an Australian nation and in the imaginary of Australian nationalism. It demonstrates how these places reflect and inform the ways in which Australia engages with the Pacific region, and the extent to which Australia considers itself a part of or apart from the Pacific. While acknowledging the important historical and contemporary differences between the New Zealand and Australian contexts, I deploy theoretical concepts and methods developed within the established field of New Zealand- centred Pacific Studies to identify and analyse what is occurring in the much less studied Australian-Pacific context. In contrast to official Australian discourse, the experiences of Pacific people in Australia are differentiated from those of other migrant communities because of: first, Australia’s colonial and neo-colonial histories of control over Pacific land and people; and second, Pacific peoples' important and unique kinships with Aboriginal Australians. Crucially the thesis emphasises the significant diversity (both cultural and national) of the Pacific experience in Australia. My argument is advanced first by a historicisation of Australia’s formal engagements with Pacific people, detailing intersecting narratives of their migration to Australia and Australia’s colonial and neo- colonial engagements within the Pacific region.
