Section of the Indoor Changes to the Indoor Sports Facility Strategy (RD/CSF/200) Sports Facility Strategy Whole document Reference to Indoor Facility/Facilities Strategy changed to Indoor Sports Facility Strategy Whole document Acronym IFS (for Indoor Facility/Facilities Strategy) changed to ISFS (for Indoor Sports Facility Strategy) Paragraph 2.11 Delete final sentence of paragraph as no map is provided. South Cambridgeshire District completely encircles Cambridge. South Cambridgeshire District is bordered to the northeast by East Cambridgeshire District, to the southeast by St Edmundsbury District, to the south by Uttlesford District, to the southwest by North Hertfordshire District, to the west by Central Bedfordshire and to the northwest by Huntingdonshire District. The neighbouring counties are shown on Map 2.2 below: Paragraph 5.320 Add additional sentence to the end of paragraph 5.320 to clarify the usage of squash facilities. All the pay and play squash facilities across Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire District are located on education sites; all but Kelsey Kerridge therefore have limited day time access. However, the majority of squash is played in evenings and weekends, so this is less of an issue than it is for sports hall provision.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1. Cambridge City Council (the City Council) and South Cambridgeshire District Council (SCDC) are preparing their Local Plans for the Greater Cambridge area. In 2015 the two authorities commissioned a joint Indoor Sports Facility Strategy (ISFS), following on from the Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS), which has been developed for grass and all weather pitches covering both areas. 1.2. These documents will guide future provision and management of sports pitches, built facilities and community use services to serve existing and new communities in the City and South Cambridgeshire. In line with the Government’s National Planning Policy Framework, the strategies set out to assess existing Built Facilities, the future need for sport and active recreation, as the region grows and develops for opportunities for new provision, and expansions of existing facilities. ‘Access to high quality open spaces and opportunities for sport and recreation can make an important contribution to the health and well-being of communities. Planning policies should be based on robust and up-to-date assessments of the needs for open space, sports and recreation facilities and opportunities for new provision. The assessments should identify specific needs and quantitative or qualitative deficits or surpluses of open space, sports and recreational facilities in the local area. Information gained from the assessments should be used to determine what open space, sports and recreational provision is required.’ (Source: NPPF 2012 Paragraph 73 Additionally, paragraph 74 of the NPPF emphasises that existing open space, sports and recreational facilities and land, including playing fields, should not be built on unless: An assessment has been undertaken which has clearly shown the open space, buildings or land to be surplus to requirements; or Any loss would be replaced by equivalent or better provision in terms of quantity and quality in a suitable location; or The development is for alternative recreation or open space facilities, the need for which clearly outweighs the loss. (Source: NPPF 2012 Paragraph 74) 1.3. The key context factors for both the City and South Cambridgeshire are: The requirements of the 2012 NPPF and specifically paragraphs 73 and 74 The need to address planned population growth in each area and the sub-region as a whole The growing focus on improving health and well-being at national level, as a result of identified and increasing levels of obesity and inactivity, and the need to plan opportunities for more active lifestyles (sport and physical activity) into new and existing communities The new Government Sports Strategy which prioritises both informal and formal participation opportunities and the need to provide participation opportunities for both The new Sport England Strategy which identifies the need for increased participation and recreational opportunities, and therefore the need to invest in both formal and informal facilities 1 CAMBRIDGE CITY COUNCIL AND SOUTH CAMBRIDGESHIRE DISTRICT COUNCIL INDOOR SPORTS FACILITY STRATEGY The fact that both Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire District are generally affluent areas (although there are very specific areas of deprivation e.g. north and east of Cambridge, and in other areas of higher urban density), and therefore communities are more likely to participate in sport and physical activity, which results in high demand for provision of facilities The growing interest and large scale participation in recreational activities such as, cycling, running and walking The priority to increase participation levels areas of deprivation to contribute to improved community health, and reduce known health inequalities 2 CAMBRIDGE CITY COUNCIL AND SOUTH CAMBRIDGESHIRE DISTRICT COUNCIL INDOOR

  • The David Attenborough Building Pembroke St, Cambridge CB2 3QY
    Venue The David Attenborough Building Pembroke St, Cambridge CB2 3QY http://www.conservation.cam.ac.uk/ Cambridge Cambridge is a university city and the county town of Cambridgeshire, England, on the River Cam about 50 miles (80 km) north of London. At the United Kingdom Census 2011, its population was 123,867, including 24,488 students. There is archaeological evidence of settlement in the area in the Bronze Age and in Roman Britain; under Viking rule, Cambridge became an important trading centre. The first town charters were granted in the 12th century, although city status was not conferred until 1951. Cambridge is the home of the University of Cambridge, founded in 1209 and one of the top five universities in the world. The university includes the Cavendish Laboratory, King's College Chapel, and the Cambridge University Library. The Cambridge skyline is dominated by the last two buildings, along with the spire of the Our Lady and the English Martyrs Church, the chimney of Addenbrooke's Hospital and St John's College Chapel tower. Cambridge is at the heart of the high-technology Silicon Fen with industries such as software and bioscience and many start-up companies spun out of the university. Over 40% of the workforce have a higher education qualification, more than twice the national average. Cambridge is also home to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, one of the largest biomedical research clusters in the world, soon to be home to AstraZeneca, a hotel and relocated Papworth Hospital. Parker's Piece hosted the first ever game of Association football. The Strawberry Fair music and arts festival and Midsummer Fairs are held on Midsummer Common, and the annual Cambridge Beer Festival takes place on Jesus Green.

  • Meeting Basic Educational Need in North Cambridge
    Meeting basic educational need in North Cambridge A submission from Chesterton Community College to the February 2017 meeting of the Cambridgeshire Children and Young People’s Committee 19 February 2017 Executive summary This submission responds to the Education Officer’s paper “Review of Secondary Education in Cambridge”, dated 28 February 2017. We ask the Children and Young People’s Committee to make a firm decision to support Recommendation (c) of the paper, the planned new build at Chesterton Community College, on a clearly specified timetable, with completion for September 2019. Chesterton’s overriding priority is to meet the basic need for high-quality secondary education in North Cambridge. The need is illustrated below, using Local Authority figures: Sept 2016 210 pupils Chesterton 355 pupils 80 pupils North Cambridge Academy Pupils 65 pupils Net outflow to schools outside North Cambridge living in 25% Chesterton increase or NCA (91 pupils) catchment 2016-2019 240 pupils Chesterton (assuming expansion) 446 pupils 150 pupils North Cambridge Academy (full) Net outflow to schools Sept 2019 56 pupils outside North Cambridge According to LA data, there will be a 25% increase (91 pupils) in the number of state school pupils living in Chesterton and NCA’s catchments by summer 2019, compared to 2016. Even if Chesterton expands, and North Cambridge Academy is full with 150 Year 7 students, 56 students will still need to find places elsewhere. But those places will not be available. Here are the LA’s stark figures for Year 7 places city-wide (positive numbers indicate a shortfall of places, negative is a surplus): Shortfall of Year 7 places, assuming Chesterton intake of 210 North (incl IVC) South Total Sep-17 -25 -95 -120 Sep-18 32 -25 7 Sep-19 50 -3 47 Sep-20 74 88 162 Sep-21 124 187 311 Sep-22 158 168 326 By Sept 2019 there will be a city-wide shortage of around fifty Year 7 places, and that number rises sharply in the following years.

  • Cambridge Nature Network
    1 “This report, building on the ambition to double nature in Cambridgeshire, tells us precisely how and where we can do it. Working from the ground up, looking at real places and the actual state of nature, it offers for the first time a tangible plan for the revitalisation of nature in the 10km around the city of Cambridge, based on what is already there and how it can be brought back to life. And there’s more. Fully integrated with the vision for nature recovery is one for the enhancement and creation of green spaces for public recreation and refreshment – vital needs, as we have come to understand fully during the covid-19 crisis.” Dame Fiona Reynolds 2 3 Introduction Why do we need a Cambridge Nature Network? In response to the global biodiversity crisis, Cambridgeshire has made a commitment to Efforts to halt the decline of nature have been double the amount of nature rich habitats underway for decades but have not been wholly by 2050. To help achieve this target, a nature effective, due to taking place at a relatively small- recovery network for the Cambridge area has been scale and often in isolation.
