It sits within the suite of Sport and Leisure evidence base documents which are: Part 1: Profile, policy context and engagement Part 2: Sports facilities strategy Part 3: Playing pitch strategy Part 4: Open spaces strategy The Playing Pitch Strategy follows the Sport England methodology set out in their Playing Pitch Strategy Guidance 2013. Its production has involved the local clubs and leagues, Sport England, the Football Association at both regional and county level (Northamptonshire FA), the England and Wales Cricket Board, Northamptonshire Cricket Board, the Rugby Football Union, England Hockey, and Daventry District Council. The nature and characteristics of the district together with the policy background and demographic forecasting are set out in the Profile, policy context and engagement report (Part 1), which should be read in conjunction with this report. A key driver for the production of this document is to deliver an evidence base which can support the development of planning policy for the West Northamptonshire Part 2 Local Plans. The strategy will help Daventry to: • Understand provision needs now and in the future • Inform the determination of planning applications • Guide the management and maintenance of sports facilities • Prioritise local authority capital and revenue investment, including s106 and any future Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) • Inform and underpin bids to external funding partners to assist in the delivery of sporting infrastructure • Identify the role of the education sector in supporting the delivery of community sporting facilities • Contribute to the aims and objectives of improving health and well-being and increasing participation in sport. Achieving this will guarantee the effective delivery of sport and leisure services across the district and ensure that a network of sports facilities is in place to cater for current and future population. This report primarily considers the needs of football, cricket, rugby and hockey. Football, cricket and rugby tend to have smaller travel time catchments and a number of clubs and sites within each authority
