  • Agenda Item 8
    DECISION RIBBLE VALLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL REPORT TO COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMITTEE Agenda Item No. th meeting date: 29 AUGUST 2017 title: OPEN SPACE AUDIT submitted by: DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES principal author: MARK BEVERIDGE 1 PURPOSE 1.1 To present the most recent information on the Council’s Open spaces and ask Committee to recommend acceptance of the current positon as expressed in the audit attached to this report. 1.2 Relevance to the Council’s ambitions and priorities • Community Objectives – To sustain a strong and prosperous Ribble Valley • Corporate Priorities - To help make people’s lives safer and healthier • Other Considerations – To develop, with relevant partners, measures to support the visitor economy 2 BACKGROUND 2.1 The Council owns and manages a number of grass and artificial football pitches. However it is not the only provider of such facilities, many more are provided by Parish Councils, schools and other owners. It is prudent to keep updated evidence on the quality of those assets. 2.2 In 2012 a comprehensive assessment of sporting facilities was prepared for the Council by Lancashire Sport (appendix A provides a summary of that document). 2.3 The Council has in addition since that time carried out an audit of all pitches in the Borough, covering Council and other providers, together with an assessment of these pitches where they could be accessed. Not every owner of a pitch was willing to co- operate. This work was carried out by a qualified ground person who has done similar work across the North West. (Appendices B and C) 3 ISSUES 3.1 Where new housing developments are proposed the Council seeks to ensure that recreational provision is accounted for in the vicinity through applying a formula which seeks to get the developer to pay a contribution to the development of new activities.

  • Education Contribution Assessment
    Education Contribution Assessment Land off Henthorn Road (3/2018/0688) Ribble Valley Borough Council 8th March 2019 Land off Henthorn Road (3/2018/0688) Education Assessment 8th March 2019 Lancashire County Council is responsible for the provision of school places across the 12 county districts. The county has been facing significant increases in the birth rate at the same time as capital funding from the Department for Education has been significantly reduced. In accordance with Lancashire County Council's 'Strategy for the Provision of School Places and Schools' Capital Investment', the following will apply: Where the growth in pupil numbers is directly linked to housing development and existing school places are not sufficient to accommodate the potential additional pupils that the development may yield, Lancashire County Council would seek to secure developer contributions towards additional school places. Only by securing such contributions (which, depending upon the scale of development, may also include a contribution of a school site), can Lancashire County Council mitigate against the impact upon the education infrastructure which the development may have. This assessment shows the level of impact relevant to the following development: Land off Henthorn Road Pupil Yield Through a detailed research project carried out during 2012 LCC have established a pupil yield to be applied for the bedroom mix within a development. Using the Rightmove database (based on Land Registry information), a cross matching exercise was undertaken to match the first occupation of a house with the relevant School Census. The research enabled LCC to ascertain the likely impact of a dwelling with 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5+ bedrooms in terms of the child yield.
