    Strategic Assessment of Need for Swimming Pools Provision in London 2017 - 2041 Facilities Planning Model Date of report September 2017 Contents Section 1: Introduction.. ............................................................................................................ 1 Section 2: Executive Summary…… ............................................................................................. 5 Section 3: Detailed assessment for swimming pools … ............................................................ 12 Appendix 1: Tables of swimming pool supply, demand and access for all Boroughs………………39 Appendix 2 Details of swimming pools included in the assessment … ...................................... 50 Appendix 2: Description of the facilities planning model…. ...................................................... 74 Section 1: Introduction 1.1 The Greater London Authority (GLA) wishes to develop an evidence base assessment of need for swimming pools. The assessment is based on the current provision of swimming pools and the supply, demand and access to them for community use in 2017. Then a second assessment based on 2041, to identify how the projected population growth 2017 – 2041 changes the total demand for swimming pools and the distribution of demand. 1.2 The GLA has requested Sport England to apply the Sport England Facilities Planning Model (FPM) to produce the data for these assessments. In 2010 the GLA requested Sport England to undertake a similar study, so as to provide an evidence base for swimming pools in both 2010 and 2022. The outcomes of that study provided an evidence base which was applied in the GLA 2nd London Plan. 1.3 This report presents the findings from the swimming pool FPM assessment for 2017 and 2041. It will be used by the GLA to inform policies in the new London Plan, a draft of which is to be published in autumn 2017. The work is based on two separate pieces of analysis (known as runs) which have been modelled.
