Lewes District Outdoor Playing Space Study September 2014
1. Introduction
1.1 Lewes District Council seeks to ensure the adequate provision of outdoor playing space within the district. The provision of appropriate and accessible outdoor playing space, both for children’s play and for youth and adult sporting activities, is a critical component of the infrastructure necessary to support housing growth.
1.2 This study of outdoor playing space, which assesses the quantity and quality of existing provision within Lewes district, was undertaken in 2014. It provides baseline information to demonstrate the extent to which the Council’s adopted standards for outdoor playing space are met in each town and parish and is intended to assist with the implementation of planning policy.
2. Definition of Outdoor Playing Space
2.1 The definition of outdoor playing space used by Fields in Trust has been adopted, i.e. ‘space that is accessible and available to the general public, and of a suitable size and nature for sport, active recreation and play.’1
2.2 The definition of outdoor playing space covers:
Facilities for pitch sports, such as football, cricket or lacrosse, including training areas
Facilities for other outdoor sports, such as bowls, athletics and tennis, including training areas
Designated areas for children’s play containing a range of facilities and an environment designed to provide focussed opportunities for outdoor play, including play areas and playgrounds of all kinds
Amenity open space suitable for casual or informal play, particularly within housing areas
Facilities for teenagers and young people
2.3 Outdoor sports facilities owned by local authorities, including district, town and parish councils, and the voluntary, private and commercial sectors are included within this definition, provided they meet the recreational needs of the public or their members.
2.4 The definition of outdoor playing space excludes:
1 Planning and Design for Outdoor Sport and Play, Fields in Trust/National Playing Fields Association (2008) 2
Outdoor sports facilities which are not as a matter of policy or practice available for public use
Verges, woodlands, commons, the seashore, nature conservation areas, allotments, ornamental gardens (except for clearly defined areas within them for sports, games, practice and play)
Golf facilities
Water used for recreation, except where it forms an interactive feature of an outdoor play area
Sports halls or leisure centres and other indoor provision
Commercial entertainment complexes or theme parks
Car parks for non-recreational users
2.5 Educational facilities are excluded unless they are available for public use by written agreement. The informal or unauthorised use of such facilities by the public falls outside the definition.
3. Policy Context
3.1 The adopted Lewes District Local Plan 2003 identifies the need to provide and maintain adequate outdoor playing space as a key issue that should be addressed by the Council. ‘Saved’ Policy RE1 of the Local Plan 2003 sets a minimum standard of provision as follows:
Policy RE1
The Council will seek (through positive planning and provision, and through the control of development) to achieve provision of outdoor public and private playing space, which are as a matter of practise and policy available for public use, to at least the following minimum standard:
1.7 ha per 1,000 population for outdoor sports, including pitches, courts and greens, and
0.7 ha per 1000 population for children’s play, of which about 0.2 – 0.3ha will comprise equipped areas and 0.4 – 0.5ha will be of a more casual or informal nature.
3.2 These adopted standards are based upon the Fields in Trust2 benchmark standards, which are a longstanding nationally proven tool for assessing the
2 Fields in Trust is now the operating name of the National Playing Fields Association
3
adequacy of outdoor playing space. In 2014, 75% of local planning authorities in a survey commissioned by Fields in Trust used its benchmark standards or guidance that promotes equivalent levels of provision.
3.3 Housing development, including small sites, cumulatively contributes towards the community’s need for recreational open space. The Council therefore expects adequate provision for outdoor playing space to be made within new residential developments in order to meet the needs of new residents and to avoid exacerbating existing deficiencies in provision. This expectation is set out in ‘saved’ Policy RES19 of the Local Plan 2003 as follows:
Policy RES19
In areas where there is a deficiency of outdoor sports and/or children’s play space in quantitative or qualitative terms as identified in the Topic Paper “Outdoor Playing Space in the Lewes District”, planning applications for all residential development will be expected to include a level of provision for outdoor sports and/or children’s outdoor play space in accordance with the standards set out in Policy RE1.
Satisfactory arrangements will be required to be made to ensure that the children’s play space is either:
(a) laid out and, where appropriate, equipped for use at an agreed stage(s) no later than the completion of the final dwelling of the development, or (b) if the appropriate children’s play space cannot adequately be made on-site, provision and/or enhancement (or a contribution towards provision and/or enhancement) is made elsewhere within the neighbourhood or local area at sufficiently close range to satisfy the needs of the proposed development itself.
Commuted payments will be required for outdoor sports provision and/or enhancement commensurate with the scale of development.
Provision of this kind will not be required from providers of (a) one-bedroom dwellings or (b) sheltered housing or other similar kinds of specialist housing for elderly people.
3.4 The District Council and the South Downs National Park have jointly prepared a new strategic level local plan - the Lewes District Local Plan Part 1: Joint Core Strategy (JCS). The JCS has been submitted to the Secretary of State and is currently at examination. It sets the long-term vision and objectives for the district and provides the strategic policy framework to guide development and change in the period to 2030. One of the key objectives of the JCS is
4
“…to improve the accessibility of key community services and facilities and to provide the new and upgraded infrastructure that is required to create and support sustainable communities”.
3.5 The District Council is also preparing the Lewes District Local Plan Part 2: Site Allocations and Development Management Policies (LPP2). This document will support and seek to deliver the strategic objectives and spatial strategy of the JCS. The LPP2 will only apply to the area of Lewes district outside of the South Downs National Park, as the National Park Authority will be preparing its own local plan.
3.6 JCS Core Policy 8 seeks to promote a connected network of multi-functional green infrastructure by protecting and enhancing the quantity, quality and accessibility of open spaces throughout the district. As part of this strategic approach, the JCS retains ‘saved’ Policies RE1 and RES19 of the 2003 Local Plan (see above) so that, following its adoption, both policies will continue to be part of the approved development plan for the area until replaced by the policies in the LPP2.
3.6 Within Lewes district, eight ‘neighbourhood areas’ have been formally designated for the purposes of preparing neighbourhood plans. These neighbourhood plans will be produced by the relevant town or parish councils and set out specific planning policies for their areas. Once approved, the neighbourhood plans will also form part of the development plan. However, none have reached this stage to date.
4. Methodology
4.1 The assessment was undertaken by officers of the District Council’s Planning Policy Team, assisted by officers from the Council’s Parks Department, in order to update the Topic Paper ‘Outdoor Playing Space in the Lewes District’ referenced in ‘saved’ Policy RES19 of the Local Plan 2003. It involved the following components:
An updated audit of existing outdoor playing space provision across the District, in consultation with town and parish councils, education providers and local sports clubs
The identification of existing deficiencies in provision in relation to the Council’s adopted standards, and what the potential future requirements may be for new provision
A baseline quality assessment of existing provision
Quantitative Assessment
4.2 A desk stop study was initially carried out to identify existing provision within the district. This study utilised the Council’s ‘Audit of Adult and Children’s Play Space in Lewes District 2012’, GIS data, and information received from
5
questionnaires sent to all town and parish councils and sports clubs within the district. This information was verified or updated by officer site visits to all the identified facilities.
4.4 All primary and secondary schools were also contacted to establish whether outdoor playing space facilities were available for community use. A list of the schools contacted and the facilities available for community use is included at Appendix 1 of this report.
4.5 The adequacy of existing outdoor playing space provision was then assessed by comparing the quantity of provision in town and parish areas with their estimated population at 20143 and applying the Council’s adopted standards for outdoor playing space to identify which towns and parishes have a surplus or deficiency in provision.
4.6 The assessment also included an analysis of the potential requirements for outdoor playing space based upon the planned level of housing growth to 2030 set out in Spatial Policy 2 and Table 5 of the JCS. The 2030 projected population was calculated by multiplying the number of dwellings planned for each town or parish with the average household size for those towns and parishes (2011 Census – Office for National Statistics).
Qualitative Assessment
4.7 A scoring/ranking system was developed by officers, based upon good practice from other local authorities, to enable a qualitative assessment of individual sites within the district. The template used, which contains a range of criteria in order to assess the overall quality of each site, is included at Appendix 2 of this report.
4.8 The field survey was carried out by two Council officers, who initially visited a number of ‘test’ sites together in order to discuss how the template criteria should be applied to ensure a level of consistency in survey approach. However, it is acknowledged that assessments of this nature can be subjective and influenced by the time of year, weather, etc.
4.0 The template, adjusted to include questions related to user satisfaction, was also sent to the town and parish councils and sports clubs within the district. The responses received were fed into the individual site assessments undertaken by officers. This helped to inform the field survey by obtaining a more holistic view from the organisations that actually manage and use the identified facilities.
4.10 Sites were scored relative to each other, rather than in relation to any national standards, and the scores were used to develop a ranking system to represent the existing quality of any given site.

5. Findings
5.1 The study identifies that deficiencies in the provision of outdoor playing space, when measured against the Council’s adopted standards, exist in all the towns and many of the rural areas of the district. With the exception of Lewes, all the towns are deficient in outdoor sports facilities and there is a significant shortfall in the provision of equipped children’s play space across the district.
5.2 The existing quantitative position in individual towns and parishes, together with an estimate of future requirements, is set out in detail at Appendix 3. The detailed results of the qualitative assessment are provided at Appendix 4. In addition, a brief summary of the quality of existing outdoor playing spaces in individual towns and parishes is set out below.
5.3 Barcombe: The village recreation ground is ranked within the top 25% of the district’s outdoor playing spaces. It supports cricket, football, tennis and bowls and provides both equipped and informal playing space for children. However, water-logging of pitches can be a problem in the winter.
5.4 Chailey: Outdoor playing space in Chailey is limited to a cricket pitch, football pitches and informal children’s playing space. Two sites of the sites have poor accessibility by foot or public transport.
5.5 Ditchling: The parish has good quality facilities accommodating cricket, football, rugby, tennis and archery. High satisfaction was recorded from users of these facilities. The village green provides informal playing space for children.
5.6 East Chiltington: Facilities include a football pitch and equipped and informal children’s playing space, which are all ranked as average quality.
5.7 Falmer: The Sussex University campus within the parish incorporates a cricket pitch, four football pitches, a rugby pitch, an all-weather pitch and six tennis courts, all of which are ranked as very good quality and have a wide catchment area.
5.8 Firle: The village recreation ground provides a good quality cricket pitch and tennis courts, ranked within the top 25% of the district’s facilities. It also incorporates average quality equipped and informal children’s playing space. A five aside pitch is available at Firle C.E. Primary School.
5.9 Glynde: The village recreation ground provides good quality cricket pitches and equipped and informal children’s playing space, ranked within the top 10% of the district’s facilities.
5.10 Hamsey: Cooksbridge recreation ground provides a football pitch and equipped and informal children’s playing space, ranked within the top 50% of the district’s facilities.
7
5.11 Iford: The village provides an equipped children’s play area which is ranked as poor quality due to age and condition.
5.12 Kingston: The village recreation ground provides a good quality football pitch and tennis courts, whilst elsewhere in the village there is average quality equipped and informal children’s playing spaces.
5.13 Lewes: The town has an extensive range of outdoor sports facilities, including an athletics track, cricket pitches, football pitches, rugby pitches, netball courts, tennis courts, skate parks and a bowling green. However, the quality of these facilities is variable, with the Covent Field and Stanley Turner recreation grounds occasionally becoming water-logged during the winter months. Children’s playing space provision is similarly of variable standard depending upon location.
5.14 Newhaven: The town has a range of good quality facilities at the Fort Road recreation ground, including a cricket pitch, football pitches, tennis courts, bowling green, skate park and equipped and informal children’s playing space. Good quality football pitches are also available at Denton & Mount Pleasant recreation ground and Meeching Valley Primary School. Elsewhere, the quality of outdoor playing space is generally below average quality in terms of district provision.
5.15 Newick: The parish has good quality sports facilities accommodating cricket, football, rugby, tennis and bowling. High satisfaction was recorded from users of these facilities. Most of the children’s equipped and informal playing space is similarly ranked as good quality.
5.16 Peacehaven & Telscombe: There is a range of good quality facilities at the Peacehaven Sports Park, including football pitches, tennis courts, bowling green, skate park and equipped children’s playing space. Elsewhere, equipped and informal playing spaces for children are distributed throughout the town but range in quality from very good to poor.
5.17 Piddinghoe: The village recreation ground is ranked within the top 25% of the district’s facilities and provides a football pitch, tennis court and equipped and informal children’s playing space. However, the informal children’s playing space provided at Old School scored very poorly.
5.18 Plumpton; The King George V recreation ground and Plumpton Agricultural College rank within the top 25% of facilities and provide cricket, football and rugby pitches and tennis courts. Good quality equipped and informal children’s playing space is also available at the recreation ground.
5.19 Ringmer: Ringmer Community College offers good quality sports facilities, including a cricket pitch, football pitches, tennis and basketball courts and a 5 aside pitch. The village green also provides a good quality cricket pitch and children’s equipped and informal playing space. Elsewhere, outdoor playing space was ranked within the lowest 50% of the district’s facilities.
8
5.20 Rodmell & Southease: Good quality sports facilities (a football pitch and tennis courts) are available at Northease Manor School but the outdoor playing space elsewhere scored poorly.
5.21 Seaford: The town has a range of good quality facilities available at the Salts recreation ground, including cricket and rugby pitches, a football pitch, tennis courts, basketball court, skate park and equipped and informal children’s playing space. Good quality outdoor playing space is also available at the Downs recreation ground, Crouch Gardens recreation ground and Seaford & Blatchingdon Tennis Club. Elsewhere, the quality of facilities is more variable and concerns were expressed by Seaford Town Council and local sports clubs about over-use of the better quality sports facilities in the town.
5.22 Streat & Westmeston: The only provision is a cricket pitch, which was ranked as average quality.
5.23 Wivelsfield: Good quality facilities are available at the village recreation ground (cricket pitch, football pitch, basketball court and equipped and informal children’s playing space) and Wivelsfield Primary School (football pitch and netball court). Both sites were ranked within the top 20% of the district’s facilities.
5.24 Where there are identified deficiencies in the existing provision of outdoor playing space, the Council will seek either on-site provision of playing space within new housing developments or financial contributions towards off-site provision in elsewhere, in accordance with ‘saved’ Policy RES19. This will currently be achieved by entering into a Section 106 planning agreement, although it is anticipated that future off-site provision will be funded through the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).
5.25 The Council’s Draft CIL Charging Schedule was submitted for examination on 16 September 2014. Once adopted by the Council, CIL will be charged on new residential and retail development and will be used to fund a wide range of infrastructure projects and facilities that support growth and benefit local communities, including the provision of outdoor playing space. A proportion of the CIL receipts will be allocated to the town and parish councils where chargeable development has occurred, the actual level being determined by whether or not an approved neighbourhood plan is in place.
5.26 It is intended that the findings of this study will be used to determine the level of outdoor playing space provision require to make a development acceptable in terms of ‘saved’ Policy RES19, and also to assist partnership working with town and parish councils in identifying local priorities for CIL funding.
