Welwyn Hatfield Sport Facility Study Strategy and Development Welwyn Hatfield Sport Facility Study March 2011 FFFOOORRREEEWWWOOORRRDDD Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council is only one of the many organisations and groups who provide specialist facilities for sport within the borough. However, we have a special responsibility to bring together all of those involved, to develop an understanding of the network of sporting facilities that already exist and to consider the needs of Welwyn Hatfield citizens of today and in the future so that we can continue to efficiently work together to meet these needs. The attractive environment both within and around the Borough as well as its convenient location will result in continued pressure to increase the number of homes in the area. It is important to ensure that these new residents enjoy access to sports facilities. It is also essential that the increased demand does not reduce the ability of existing residents to take part in sport or physical activity as we recognise that this has a very beneficial impact on their health and quality of life. This Study has, therefore, been carried out in order to assess the quality and quantity need for additional facilities of Welwyn Hatfield. An important component of this work has been the securing of the views of many key stakeholders within the local community. In this difficult economic climate it is more important than ever to co-ordinate any investment in Sports Facilities in order to ensure that the limited funding that is available for these facilities is invested wisely, against a programme of recognised need and to ensure that the facilities that exist are sustainable. With this in mind, this Study will provide the basis for the development of the Sports Facilities Strategy and Action Plan for Welwyn Hatfield. I would like to thank all the partners who have supported this study, especially Sport England for their support and advice throughout the process.

It is designed to assist in investment decisions and the development of infrastructure improvement strategies for sport. It comprises a comprehensive database of mainly indoor sports facilities, together with a set of analytical strategic planning tools. Figures used are based on the 2001 census. Artificial Grass Pitch (AGP): An alternative to grass, providing an all weather surface for pitch sports, in particular, hockey and football. Pitches are a minimum of 75m x 45m and be floodlit. This definition does not include other non turf surfaces, such as tarmac, concrete, Redgra (natural aggregate dressing). Built Sports Facilities: Built sports facilities include sports centres, community halls, and any other building in which sport and recreational activities can take place. Building Schools for the Future: The Building School for the Future is a capital investment programmes of school developments. The new government in 2010 decided to reduce the level of investment in this programme and an announcement is awaited on any future capital programme for school improvement, which is likely to be much reduced in scale. Core Strategy: The Core Strategy Document is the key compulsory Local Development Document specified in United Kingdom planning law. Every other Local Development Document is built on the principles it sets out, regarding the development and use of land in the Borough's area. The principles should be in accordance with the Sustainable Community Strategy. The Core Strategy sets out the long-term spatial vision for the local planning authority area and the strategic policies and proposals to deliver that vision. It will contain a set of primary policies for delivering the core strategy. Broad locations for development may be set out in a key diagram. Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL): The Community Infrastructure Levy is a new levy that local authorities can choose to charge through the town planning process on new developments in their area. The money can be used to support development by funding infrastructure that the council, local community and neighbourhoods want. Distance Thresholds: The straight-line distance to an open space site. Dual Use Agreement: An agreement between two organisations such as a local community organisation (e.g. a school) and a local authority over the use of the sporting facilities by the community during out of school hours. Facilities Planning Model (FPM): A strategic modelling tool developed by Sport England and used to estimate the level of demand for sports facilities within the local population, comparing this with the supply of facilities within a given local area. Taking account of the size and location of the facilities, the model highlights any inadequacies in facility provision. The technique can also be used to model Page 5 ‘what if’ scenarios, for instance, the impact of increases in population, the closure of individual facilities, and the opening of new facilities. Field In Trust (FIT) / National Playing Fields Association (NPFA): A charity which aims to safeguard playing fields, recreation grounds and play areas from built development. The NPFA produced a guidance document on provision of playing fields called the Six Acre Standard. Since the 21st May 2007 NPFA have been known as Fields In Trust (FIT). Geographical Information System (GIS): GIS is a computer system where a variety of information can inputted to form a map. Hard Court: a generic term for a hard surfaced area which might include a tennis court or multi use games area. Local Development Document: the collective term used in the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act for Development Plan Documents, Supplementary Planning Documents and other LDF documents such as the Statement of Community Involvement, the Local Development Scheme and the Annual Monitoring Report. Local Development Framework: The Local Development Framework (LDF) is the name for the portfolio of Local Development Documents and other related documents, which will provide the framework for delivering the spatial planning strategy for the Borough. A Local Development Framework can consist of: Development Plan Documents; Supplementary Planning Documents; Area Action Plans; A Proposals Map; A Local Development Scheme; The Statement of Community Involvement; and Annual Monitoring Reports. Local Strategic Partnership (LSP): Welwyn Hatfield's LSP is known locally as the Welwyn Hatfield Alliance. The Alliance is key public sector organisations, businesses, community groups and voluntary groups who come together around a shared vision to improve the quality of life for all in Welwyn Hatfield. The current Alliance works towards the delivery of the Community Action Plan which is put together by the different partnerships and groups that feed into the Alliance. Multi Use Games Area (MUGA): a hard surfaced area of 1-2 courts in size, (i.e. smaller than an AGP) mainly constructed of tarmac or with a synthetic

  • North Hertfordshire Open Space Review & Standards 2016
    North Hertfordshire Open Space Review & Standards 2016 PART 1: OPEN SPACE REVIEW 1 1. Introduction 1.1 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; and if well designed and maintained they can make areas attractive places to live, work and visit. 1.2 Planning Policy Guidance Note 17 (PPG17): Planning for Open Space, Sport and Recreation (2002) aimed to improve the quantity and quality of open space, by requiring local authorities to undertake an assessment of needs and opportunities in their area, and to develop a series of local standards by which to improve the overall provision of open space. 1.3 In 2009 an assessment was carried out to assess the provision of open space, sport and recreation facilities in North Hertfordshire, based on PPG17 and its Companion Guide (Assessing Needs and Opportunities). This North Hertfordshire Green Space Standards document examined the existing provision based on different types of open space and set out open space standards, differentiating between urban and rural developments. 1.4 The purpose of this 2016 report is to review open space provision in the District since the open space assessment undertaken in 2009. In doing so, it will provide an updated position on the latest provision of open space, sport and recreation facilities in North Hertfordshire. This work is being done in line with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (2012) and Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) (2014), which have replaced PPG17 and its Companion Guide. 1.5 This 2016 update will ensure that the Local Plan is supported by an up-to-date assessment and will form part of the evidence base.
