Executive Summary Scope and Purpose of the Playing Pitch Strategy

Strategic Leisure, part of the Scott Wilson Group, was commissioned by Sheffield City Council (SCC) in March 2011 to update the existing City Playing Pitch Strategy. This is out of date, in relation to both the underpinning supply and demand assessment, and the more detailed area analysis which was based on the areas covered by the Council’s 12 Area Panels. The updated strategy takes account of key changes to supply and demand overall with refreshed local area assessments using the parameters of the 7 Community Assembly Areas.

The strategy provides high level policy guidance in relation to the future provision and delivery of playing pitch provision, as well as more detailed analysis of what is needed, where and why. Key recommendations are made, principally for the next 5 years, but with some consideration to likely changes to supply and demand up to 2021.

The strategy covers a number of key pitch :

 Football

 Cricket





 Hockey

Some updated commentary has also been provided in relation to Rounders and Lacrosse, both included in the previous assessment and strategy. Other outdoor provision for physical activity, such as multi-use games areas, cycle paths and play provision are included within a range of other strategic plans including the PPG17 Assessment. Methodology for assessing playing pitch facilities

The strategy has been built on an assessment of pitches using the guidance detailed in Toward a Level Playing Field (Sport England and CCPR). This approach is based on an audit and assessment of the demand for, and supply of facilities. It uses a prescribed eight stage research method with a focus on formal teams as the ‘unit’ of demand (as opposed to general population) and formal facilities, focussing on those accessible for community use.

Assessments have included quantity (are there enough facilities?) and quality (are facilities of an appropriate standard?) and have included local area assessments for each of the 7 Community Assembly Areas (Central, East, North East, North, South, South East, South West).

A streamlined approach has been adopted, to take stock of resources available to deliver a strategy within a shorter timescale. The assessment has therefore drawn from existing secondary data held by National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs) rather than be informed by specific primary research. For example, rather than a programme of questionnaires to sports clubs, demand data has been based on NGBs own records. Additionally supply information particularly that relating to quality has been based on visual assessments of a sample of sites rather than a full programme of site visits. Data from the National Facilities Audit and Facilities Planning Model has been used to identify demand and supply for Artificial Grass Pitches (AGPs) throughout Sheffield.

1 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Key Findings – sport by sport Football

There are 246 local football clubs generating 843 teams across the City. These teams play in a number of different leagues predominantly across the weekend. A total of 501 football pitches have been identified. Of these, 421 (around 84%) are judged to have secured community use. In addition there are 14 AGPs available for football and used for a combination of commercial league and training purposes. Of these, 5 AGPs have a rubber crumb (3G) surface, the preferred surface for football, and 9 are sand-based. Usage of AGPs to support football has increased since 2005, to the extent that all AGPs are at 100% capacity and there is a particularly high rate of unmet demand (40%).

The assessment reveals there are some deficiencies in quantity and quality (to varying levels) in a number of areas within the City. Quantity deficiencies are most significant in the South and Central areas. In these areas there is a deficiency in provision across Mini Soccer and Youth football pitches. The most significant deficiencies when modelling potential future growth are recorded in the East, South East, South and Central area. There is projected to be a ‘net’ shortage (i.e. even after potential re- designation).

In relation to quality there are significant deficiencies in quality across the City. Overall half of football pitches were rated as ‘average’, ‘below average’ or ‘poor’. There is also a significant quality variance across the 7 areas assessed – whereas nearly two thirds of all pitches in the East area were rated positively, only 1 in 8 pitches in the Central area were rated as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’.

In terms of estimating all demand (including non-community use) against available supply, indications are that available pitches need to accommodate between 1 and 2 games per week (1.7 on average) in most areas to service demand. In most cases this is achievable on the basis of enough pitches being of an appropriate quality. However, there is a potential mismatch of demand against available supply in the Central area. In this area it is estimated that each pitch available would need to accommodate nearly 4 games per week to meet the levels of demand recorded. This is clearly not sustainable. Cricket

There are 39 local cricket clubs generating 179 teams in total. These teams play in various different leagues all through the week and weekend. A total of 53 cricket pitches have been identified and are judged to have regular community use. These are predominantly in private (club) ownership.

There are currently no deficiencies, in theory, in cricket provision across the City. However the figures do include some school sites that have community use and are currently not used for community cricket. There are though areas of the city where demand is nearing or exceeding capacity. Provision is only just sufficient to meet demand in the North East, South East and South community assembly areas. In some cases facilities are currently sufficient despite demand being spread across a number of days/times. Projections for the future show that across the City there will be a sufficient supply of pitches, however there is a theoretical deficiency in the South and only sufficient supply in the North East, South East and South West.

Consultation with the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and Cricket Board (YCB) confirms localised areas of high demand for cricket in Sheffield. Areas such as and Brungreave in the North East Area have a number of unaffiliated teams and leagues where unmet demand has been identified. Throughout the City junior cricket is very popular and the YCB reported that clubs are struggling to accommodate all junior matches during the week.

Overall there are deficiencies in the quality of facilities. On average, across the City only 69% of pitches were rated as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’. The areas rated the lowest for quality are the South East and South West. The North East and East assembly areas have the best rating for cricket pitch quality. More detailed analysis is required to get a improved understanding of the quality of cricket sites and to underpin investment programmes.

2 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

The YCB and ECB wish to continue their partnership with Sheffield City Council to address particular areas where playing pitches and ancillary facilities could be improved and where new facilities could enhance the cricket offering, particularly in relation to public facilities where an increase in adult participation in cricket could be serviced. Rugby Union

There are 11 local rugby union clubs (including some University based teams) generating 62 teams in total in the city. This represents some growth since the development of the previous strategy. These teams play in various different leagues over a Saturday afternoon (adult men) and Sunday morning (junior rugby). There are 27 rugby union pitches in the city available for secured community use, or in use by the teams identified. Not all are sited in appropriate locations for the local clubs to access. Rugby Union teams currently have the use of one full sized AGP for training purposes and a further small sized AGP is planned within the coming year.

The analysis indicates that including additional demand generated by school use, pitch provision is on the whole sufficient to cater for demand. There are 27 pitches catering for around 39 games per week. This equates to around 1.4 games per pitch per week. However, the capacity of pitches is critical in some areas to meeting this.

It is apparent from applying the Playing Pitch Model that this sufficiency varies from area to area. The model, when applied to peak times for community use indicates:

 Only a modest surplus of pitches in the South East (surplus of 1 pitch)

 A small deficiency in pitches in the Central area (2 games on average per week at weekends, but no publicly accessible pitches within this area).

There is no community rugby identified in the East or North East, and only one game estimated to be generated in the Northern area. Rugby League

There are 2 local rugby league clubs ( Hawks and ), and a university based club generating 13 teams in total. There are 4 dedicated rugby league pitches in the city deemed to be in use for rugby league.

The assessment indicates there is currently adequate provision on a Sunday morning to meet demand and a surplus of 3 pitches on a Saturday afternoon. This is because some teams play in the summer (and use Union pitches off season) and some teams play during the winter.

The future scenario is less clear, as discussions are currently taking place around a change to playing seasons. There are proposals for junior and adult amateur teams to start to play during the summer season. Although there are no immediate plans for this, it has been suggested this will happen in summer 2012 during the lifespan of this Playing Pitch Strategy. It is therefore a key priority that stakeholders work together to identify appropriate facilities to accommodate this. Hockey

There are 6 local hockey clubs (including university clubs) generating 57 teams in Sheffield. There are 9 full sized Artificial Grass Pitches (AGPs) available for hockey use; 8 sand-based and 1 water-based. All of the sand-based pitches have dual usage with football. No AGPs are planned in the near future and only 2 have been built since 2005. This means that most of the sand-based AGPs will need to be refurbished during the lifetime of this Strategy.

Although there are 9 AGPs available for hockey use, this number is reduced to the equivalent of 2 pitches when considering the supply publicly available within the peak period (weekends and week day evenings). When this

3 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy is compared to demand there is only half the amount of pitch space available. This is reflected in the percentage of unmet demand which stands at 33.5% which is significantly higher than the national average of 16%. The majority of unmet demand is because the AGPs available to Sheffield residents are at full capacity. Only a small percentage of unmet demand is derived from residents living outside of the catchment areas of AGPs. This clearly demonstrates that although there are technically sufficient AGPs to meet demand for hockey in reality this is not the case.

Modelling future levels of demand would yield an additional 7 teams (projecting a 5% participation growth rate coupled with potential population growth). Unless action is taken to increase the availability of pitches for Hockey use, this growth will be impeded.

4 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Introduction and Background

1.1 Strategic Leisure, part of the Scott Wilson Group, was commissioned by Sheffield City Council (SCC) in March 2011 to update the City’s Playing Pitch Strategy. This report details the findings of the research and assessment undertaken and the recommendations made on the basis of this. The recommendations within provide the strategy for the future provision of sports pitch provision, and guide management and operation and provide a framework for funding and investment decisions.

1.2 This Strategy has been commissioned to inform the Council's strategies for open space and sports development, as well as its Local Development Framework, of which the first Development Plan Document to be produced is the Core Strategy. The Core Strategy is the key strategic planning document for the authority and is informed by high level policy guidance. The PPS provides this high level policy guidance in relation to future provision and delivery of playing pitch provision, as well as more detailed analysis of what is needed, where and why. The high level policy guidance related specifically to the nature of pitches that should be considered as a priority for investment, the level of pitch provision needed to meet current and future demand, and options for addressing future demand. Aims, Objectives and Scope

1.3 The aim of the study is to produce a robust playing pitch strategy for Sheffield City Council, compliant with recognised best practice, which assesses the current and future need for pitch provision, set standards for the quality, quantity and accessibility of facilities and provides a strategic framework for facility provision with a five year prioritised action plan.

1.4 The strategy covers a number of key pitch sports and wider facility types that make up outdoor sports facility provision in the Sheffield City area. In terms of pitch sports, the assessment and resulting strategy recommendations covers the sports of:

 Football

 Cricket

 Rugby League

 Rugby Union

 Hockey

1.5 Some updated commentary has also been provided in relation to Rounders and Lacrosse, both included in the previous assessment and strategy and both prominent sports in Sheffield. Other outdoor provision for physical activity, such as multi-use games areas, cycle paths and play provision are included within a range of other strategic plans including the PPG17 Assessment rather than this study. Specific Issues to be tackled by the Strategy

1.6 The Government, via PPG17, requires local planning authorities (LPA) to carry out assessments of open space, sport and recreation facilities as part of their planning process. It requires LPAs to prepare, update and regularly monitor and measure the quantity, quality and accessibility for open space, sport and recreation facilities.

1.7 An updated assessment of playing pitches is needed in Sheffield to:

 Assist with decision making around funding by providing a robust needs and evidence base to inform the priorities for future provision and justify the enhancement of existing facilities

5 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

 Assist the local authority to deliver its Planning Services by informing the development of local planning standards and policy, by providing justification for retaining existing facilities in Development Plan Documents, helping assess the merits of planning applications, guiding investment achieved through planning obligations, informing future policy around Developer Contributions and providing evidence for use in planning appeals and Public Local Inquiries

 Support the development of community sport and physical activity in Sheffield in helping to address the health improvements agenda by recommending levels of facility provision that will best serve needs and help in the effort to increase levels of physical activity

 Help justify and inform land use decisions in respect of future use of existing outdoor sports areas and playing pitches within the City

 Provide a strategic framework for the provision and management of playing pitches in the city

 Support external funding bids and maximise support for outdoor sport and physical activity facilities and playing pitches within and outside the Council

 Provide the basis for ongoing monitoring and review the use, distribution, function, quality and accessibility of outdoor sport, physical activity facility provision and playing pitches

 To help identify the opportunities for new facilities or enhancement of existing outdoor sport and physical activity facilities and playing pitches, to meet deficiencies

1.8 The strategy principally covers the period 2011 to 2016 (i.e. 5 years), and in essence all of the recommendations require some action within this time period. Regular updates to the underpinning supply and demand data will need to be completed to ensure the strategy remains relevant and appropriate. Strategic Context Summary

1.9 There are a number of national, regional and local influences on the Strategy. A brief review of these is included in the following paragraphs. National Strategy Context

1.10 Nationally and regionally there are a number of strategies driving the delivery of sport and physical activity related services in Sheffield. They are broadly concerned with increasing participation across the population. There is currently a national agenda for sport, leisure and physical activity originally based on the former governments “Game Plan" strategy. Game Plan was the 2002 to 2008 policy document for the provision and delivery of sport and physical activity by the UK Government. This landmark document was replaced in 2008 with “Playing to Win”. The current Sport England Strategy (2008-2011) also has a focus on increasing sports participation and aims to get one million more people taking part in sport by 2012/2013.

1.11 While these documents have not been summarised within this report, their main aims and objectives and relevance for this strategy have been considered in undertaking this assessment. Overall the common themes relate to driving up sports participation and building an infrastructure capable of accommodating this. The Playing Pitch Strategy is key to this, in terms of providing a greater understanding of the demand for and supply of sports pitches and providing the evidence base on which to make informed decisions. Reflecting and endorsing the priorities of the various NGBs for pitch sports and facility development and improvement is also a key outcome of this strategy. The NGBs national strategies are summarised in the following section.

6 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

The FA’s National Game Strategy (2008–2012) - The vision for grassroots football in England

1.12 In 2008 the FA set out it’s five year strategy and it’s vision for grassroots football in England. The strategy has four clear goals: 1. To grow and retain participation 2. To raise standards and address abusive behaviour 3. To develop better players 4. To run the game effectively

1.13 Supporting the four goals are two key areas of focus, a skilled workforce and improved facilities. The latter being the most relevant to this strategy. To fulfil the FA’s vision and its goals, overall targets have been set for 2012. Some of the most relevant are as follows:  To retain 125,000 existing teams and create 20,500 new teams  To ensure 75% of all registered youth teams attain The FA Charter Standard Award  To train one million 5-11 year olds through The FA Tesco Skills Programme  To ensure every youth team has at least one FA-qualified coach  To create a national database and to communicate to every participant – players, coaches, referees, clubs, leagues and volunteers  To invest £300 million to improve facilities

Grounds to Play – ECB Strategic Plan 2010-2013

1.14 In 2005 the ECB launched their first strategic plan ‘Building Partnerships’. This document introduced the four key objectives for the ECB to develop the game of Cricket. ‘Grounds to Play’ is the ECB’s current strategic plan and uses the same four objectives originally set out in ‘Building Partnerships’. These are: 1. Energising people and partnerships to deliver national goals at local level 2. Vibrant domestic game 3. Enhancing facilities, environments and participation 4. Successful England teams

1.15 In 2008, the ECB announced a £30million investment in facilities and in club cricket. Incorporated within the finance strategy are the following relevant projects:  £14 million of ECB grant aid to 2,000 community clubs  A doubling of interest-free loans to community clubs to £10m  A doubling of Chance to shine funding to enhance cricket in schools amounting to a total value of £5m

1.16 For the Sheffield Playing Pitch Strategy the ECB’s third objective, enhancing facilities, environments and participation, is the most relevant and ‘Grounds to Play’ focuses on providing facilities to sustain participation levels rather than a focus on a substantial increase in participation. However Sport England’s support of cricket through the Whole Sport Plan does focus on participation growth and funding of facilities.

RFL Community Game Strategy 2010-2012

1.17 The overall aim of the RFL’s Community Strategy is to significantly increase the number of people playing, coaching, volunteering and enjoying Rugby League in the community. The strategy is built around five broad programmes of activity and delivered through key projects which offer Rugby League the best way of achieving that overall aim. They are listed below with the outcome to be achieved by the end of 2012. 1. Competition – 5,000 more teams playing in RFL recognised competitions. 2. Clubs – Achieved at least an 80% satisfaction rate in the national sport satisfaction survey. 3. Player Development – 8,000 players taking part in the RFL talent pathway.

7 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

4. Coaches – The RFL coaching scheme benchmarked against the UK Coaching Framework as excellent. 5. Visibility – An increase in the number of hits on the RFL ‘Try it’ website from 10,000 to 40,000.

1.18 These five programme outcomes will together contribute to achieving the overall outcome of the Community Strategy 2010-2012 which is; 52,000 more adults and 30,000 more young people as registered participants in Rugby League. If achieved, this increase in participation will have an impact on the pitches and facilities required for Rugby League in Sheffield. Sport The RFU’s Third Strategic Plan 2008/09 – 2015/16

1.19 The RFU’s Strategic Plan sets out a strategy for community rugby, the elite and professional game. The following summary focuses on the objectives set out for community rugby, these will have the greatest impact for the Sheffield Playing Pitch Strategy. Key themes for the community game include:  Maintain core values and a united game – club and country.  Build on the momentum achieved in the community game.  Focus community game investment on facilities, development and insurance.  Support and strengthen clubs at all levels, in all sectors and age groups.  Reduce bureaucracy and empower, recognise and encourage volunteers.

1.20 The strategic themes of community rugby concentrate on improving quantity and quality and in order to measure the performance of achieving the strategic themes and objectives the RFU have set four critical success factors: 1. The number of people playing the game aged 16+; 2. The number of matches being played; 3. Improving the sustainability of clubs; 4. The number of effective people supporting the playing of the game.

1.21 The plan focuses on increasing participation at club level and within universities, colleges and schools whilst ensuring that all teams have access to high quality coaching, playing and training facilities.

Uniting the Hockey Family – England Hockey Strategy 2009-2013

1.22 Uniting the Hockey Family updates the original 2005 strategy and retains the same vision for hockey in England ‘A dynamic, successful, sport for all’. The eight key strategic objectives for England Hockey are: 1. Attract and retain more people in the sport - by increasing the amount of hockey delivered in primary and secondary schools, increasing the number of and strengthening existing club–school links, and by increasing the number of new and retained participants within club and university teams. 2. Help clubs and associations to develop and thrive - by supporting the club structure to ensure that it is equipped to provide a quality experience for the participant, ensuring that all of our associations are fit for the purpose 3. Embed the Single System throughout the sport 4. Achieve international podium success 5. Maximise the opportunities of 2012 6. Raise the sport’s profile and improve communications 7. Broaden the income base of England Hockey 8. Continue to enhance the quality of governance and operations

8 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Local Strategy Context

1.23 There are a number of key strategies and policies in place that will influence the Playing Pitch Strategy or where a contribution can be made to achieving its aims and objectives. The key strategies are identified overleaf.

Sheffield’s Corporate Plan – A City of Opportunity

1.24 Sheffield’s Corporate Plan sets out the strategic direction and priorities for the Council between 2010 and 2013. The plan is organised around 6 broad ambitions, which include “Protecting and Enhancing the Environment” and “Supporting People to be Healthy and Independent”. In realising these ambitions, key priorities include improving parks and open spaces and increasing participation in sport and physical activity.

1.25 The Playing Pitch Strategy will provide important evidence around the supply and demand for pitch based sports across the city, which should inform decisions linked to achieving the priorities of the Corporate Plan.

Sheffield Development Framework - Core Strategy

1.26 The Core Strategy sets out a vision for transformative and sustainable development in Sheffield over the period up to 2026. Some of the themes of this vision include promoting health and well-being for all, ensure the creation of successful neighbourhoods and prizing and protecting the natural environment.

1.27 To achieve this vision, key objectives include providing opportunities for physical activity and recreation, ensuring that local communities have access to a range of facilities including open space and protecting, improving and creating open space, where necessary.

1.28 In particular, Policy CS47: Safeguarded Open Space states that open space, including playing fields, will only be developed where it can be demonstrated that they are surplus to local needs.

1.29 The Playing Pitch Strategy will be an important factor in determining whether we have sufficient pitches to meet demand for sport.

Sheffield Development Framework - City Policies & Sites

1.30 The City Policies & Sites will contain Development Management style policies and site specific guidance, and will supplement the SDF Core Strategy. At present, the document contains a draft policy focussing on Infrastructure and Developer Contributions. Green Infrastructure, which would include playing fields, is highlighted in the draft policy as one of the City’s priorities for funding. It is currently envisaged that the document will be adopted in late 2012.

1.31 The Playing Pitch Strategy provides valuable information in relation to the quantity of sites and an indication of their quality and can therefore inform investment decisions around site improvement or the creation of new sites.

Sheffield Green and Open Spaces Strategy: Sheffield’s Great Outdoors

1.32 Sheffield’s Great Outdoors provides a 20 year framework for the quality management of green and open space across the city. Its principal aims relate to improving the quality of the city’s green spaces, increasing participation levels; both in terms of the use of spaces and their management, and ensuring that open spaces contribute to broader agendas such as biodiversity and climate change.

1.33 The Strategy focuses on the themes of People, Places, Environment & Sustainability and Quality Management as a framework for bringing about these changes.

9 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

1.34 Specific policies include promoting the use of sites for sport and ensuring that the types of open space available to residents match the local needs, tackling barriers that currently limit the use of the sites and working with excluded groups to increase activity.

1.35 The evidence and recommendations contained within this strategy will contribute towards the delivery of these policies.

Activity Sheffield : Targets and Priorities

1.36 Activity Sheffield’s headline target is to achieve a 1% year-on-year increase in the City’s activity levels i.e. the number of adults achieving 5 x 30 minutes of at least moderate activity each week and the number of young people achieving an hour a day of at least moderate activity each week. The top priority is to improve health through encouraging regular physical activity. However, there is also a desire to support those people who wish to achieve sporting success.

1.37 Activity Sheffield focus their service delivery evenly across the seven Community Assembly areas in the city and particularly target children/young people and older people. They offer a wide choice of activities through sport, play and physical activity and aim to make a positive impact on the city’s wider regeneration agendas e.g. major sports events 2012 programme will increase city income and promote the city’s image; community programmes will contribute towards increasing community safety, positive outcomes for children, creating pride in local communities and increasing the skills and confidence of local people.

Playing Pitch Strategy (2005)

1.39 The Playing Pitch Strategy (2005) consisted of an analysis of the supply and demand for a number of pitch based sports. The strategy was completed in accordance with the Towards a Level Playing Field (Sport England and CCPR) methodology and considered the playing field potential of over 200 sites in the City.

1.40 This report will provide an update to the 2005 Strategy.

11 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Methodology Introduction

2.1 The strategy has been built on an assessment of pitches using the guidance detailed in Toward a Level Playing Field. This approach is based on an audit and assessment of the demand for, and supply of facilities. Its focus is on providing the means for deriving local standards, using local information, and developing policy to respond to local circumstances. An eight stage process is followed, and this is summarised below.

2.2 The overall aim of the assessment methodology has been to determine the number of pitches required for each specific sport. In the case of Sheffield the methodology has been used to assess the adequacy of provision for:

 Football  Cricket  Rugby Union  Hockey  Rugby League

2.3 The methodology for assessing pitch sports comprises an eight-stage approach, as summarised overleaf. This involves a number of specific research tasks to build a comprehensive audit. A series of toolkits are used to analyse the data collected with the resulting assessment figures interpreted in consideration to the local context and results of stakeholder consultation. The toolkits, data modelling and audit data is included within the appendices to this report.

2.4 Some updated commentary has also been provided in relation to Rounders and Lacrosse, both included in the previous assessment and strategy. Other outdoor provision for physical activity, such as multi-use games areas, cycle paths and play provision are included within a range of other strategic plans including the PPG17 Assessment (2008).

2.5 Since the 2005 Playing Pitch Strategy was undertaken there has been increasing realisation amongst NGB’s, Local Authorities and other sports organisations that the value of Artificial Grass Pitches (AGP) has become a significant factor in the delivery and participation of pitch sports. AGP’s are used by Hockey, Football, Rugby League and Rugby Union. Although Cricket make use of artificial pitches these have not been included this overview as they have not been included in the National Facility Audit upon which this overview is based (see Appendix 9 for an explanation of the NFA). As demand for AGP usage for Rugby Union and Rugby League is so small the analysis focuses on Hockey and Football where demand is far greater. The results are summarised within the sport specific sections later in this document.

2.6 The Playing Pitch Model cannot be used to provide a numerical analysis for AGPs because the assumptions and parameters are different to those relating to grass pitches. Instead, data derived from Sport England’s National Facility Audit (Jan 11) has been used in conjunction with the Facilities Planning Model to give an overview of supply and demand for AGPs. The assumptions and parameters of the Model are set out in Appendix 9 an analysis of AGP in Sheffield by Sport England. This data has been used as a basis for further discussion with the NGBs, to generate a more accurate picture of the issues facing the respective sports.

2.7 On completion of the eight stage process (Playing Pitch Model) further work was undertaken to establish the relevant policy options appropriate for each sport and Sheffield sub-area. The outcome of this process has led to the creation of a future strategy and site specific action plan. The final element of the Strategy is to put in place a process for regular monitoring and review.

12 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Figure 1 - The eight stage playing pitch model Stage Description and Key Output

Identification of the number of teams

Demand is established through a count of the number of teams for each sport Stage 1 using a variety of information sources, including pitch booking records, league handbooks, consultation with NGBs and local/county representatives. Latent demand and the impact of future population projections are also considered where information is available.

Calculating home games per team per week Stage 2 In a ‘normal’ situation for all sports, the number of home games is calculated as 0.5 of the total number of teams, representing weekly ‘home’ and ‘away’ fixtures.

Assessing Total Number of Home Games per week

Stage 3 This is the product of Stages 1 and 2, and is therefore not independent. The resultant figure indicates how many games have to be accommodated in the study area in the average week.

Establishing Temporal Demand for Games

Stage 4 This stage assesses the proportion of total home games played on each day. The data is expressed as a percentage of total weekly demand. This Stage will determine what percentage of all games are played on a Saturday for example.

Defining pitches used / required on each day

Stage 5 This is the product of Stages 3 and 4, and is not therefore independent. The resultant figure will indicate the pitches used/required on each day and time e.g. Saturday p.m.

Establishing pitches available

An accurate assessment of supply is produced which distinguishes between Stage 6 pitches for each sport and between ownership (public, private, voluntary and educational sites). In modelling the existing situation, only pitches currently available for the appropriate days/times will be relevant.

Assessing the Findings

The requirements to accommodate demand assessed at Stage 5 are then Stage 7 compared with the facilities as available at Stage 6. If the existing situation has been accurately understood by pitch providers, then there should be either a good numerical fit between requirements and facilities available, or even ‘surplus’ provision on some days.

Stage Description and Key Output

Identifying policy options and solutions

A range of policy options can be developed, such as new provision or pitch Stage 8 improvements, to help the problems identified at Stage 7. The method can then be used to further assess the impact of policy options, and contribute to the selection of the most cost-effective solution.

Adapted from Toward a Level Playing Field – Sport England and CCPR (Page 11)

2.8 A key point to note is the approach taken in providing an updated assessment, particularly in relation to Stages 1 to 6. The Toward a Level Playing Field guidance advocates a programme of research to gather relevant information, including questionnaires to sports clubs, key facility providers such as schools, and site visits to assess the quality of facilities and verify quantity.

2.9 In this case, detailed questionnaires have not been circulated to the many sports clubs operating in the city, partly because of the short timescales and resources involved in producing the update. Instead, information provided directly from NGBs has been used to inform both the demand and supply audit. The benefit of this approach is that it makes use of information that the NGBs already collect on a regular basis and it also ensures that the resulting strategy is aligned with their understanding of the individual sports; their priorities and proposals. This has been supplemented through information provided by key stakeholders, including Council officers from Activity Sheffield, Parks & Countryside and Planning services. Auditing techniques and Data Gathering Assessment of Supply

2.10 The current supply of facilities was established through data review, focussing on the existing audit and some limited consultation.

 Review of information held by Sheffield City Council

 Review of information published on relevant websites - specifically Active Places

 A selective programme of site visits to pitch sites, focussing on those likely to have changed since compilation of the previous audit

 Consultation with key stakeholders – NGBs, Sport England and Council Officers Assessment of Demand

2.11 The current demand for facilities was established through:

 A review of club and team data supplied directly by NGBs

 Some additional telephone consultation with a small number of key sports clubs

 A review of booking information from SCC pitch sites to ensure team data married that provided by NGBs

 Analysis of local league data (where publicly available)

14 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

2.12 Inevitably, a number of key research tasks encompass the collection and collation of both supply and demand data, rather than an exclusive focus on one or the other. Defining Community Use

2.13 A key component of the analysis was an examination of the extent to which pitches identified were in "secured public use". This was undertaken in the context of the Sport England definition of community use, and broadly embraces:

 All local authority pitches (Sheffield City Council, relevant Parish Councils);

 Educational facilities where they are subject to formal dual use, community use agreements or similar formal hire arrangements with local teams;

 Any facilities owned, used or maintained by clubs/private individuals, which as a matter of policy or practice are available by large sections of the public through membership of a club or admission fees; and

 Formal playing pitches that are marked out and in use for the relevant pitch sports have been included in the modelling and analysis. Quantifying non-club / team demand for the major sports

2.14 Although the assessment is focused on community sport, with identified teams playing regular league/competitive fixtures as the ‘demand unit’ for pitch sports, the PPM prompts the need to consider other demands placed on sports pitches. Some attempt has therefore been made to do this using the following assumptions.

2.15 School sport and team equivalents generated by PE use of facilities has been partially quantified and factored into the modelling accordingly. Although the focus of the assessment and resulting strategy is community sport, consideration has been given to the demand generated by school sport and the use of available supply. In Sheffield the impact of school use of facilities is potentially greater than in other cities. The audit data shows that 67% of education pitches have some community use, and the school pitches with community use make up around one third of the total available. In short, 1 in 3 pitches used by the community also accommodate significant school use. Accounting for and factoring in school use of pitches has been quantified slightly differently across the four major sports identified, depending on the availability and quality of information available. Estimating and projecting future demand

2.16 For population growth, figures provided by Sheffield City Council have been used as reported earlier. The team generation rates established for each area have been used to identify growth that is likely to occur as a result of population increases. This is based on current demand profiles and the current percentage of residents that fall within the ‘active population’ (i.e. of sport playing ages).

2.17 Target growth rates for each of the sports were also agreed with the appropriate NGB or local representative. These have been applied to future modelling to provide an indication of growth resulting from development work and specific programmes to increase participation in key sports in Sheffield. The rates used are:

 Football: based on a 10% growth rate over the next 5 years for mini soccer and senior football and 14% for junior football (figures in line with projected growth from Sheffield & FA).

 Cricket: a 5% increase in teams to represent annual growth of around 1% (figures in line with Activity Sheffield participation targets)

15 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

 Rugby League: a 1% year on year growth, or 5% overall (figures in line with Activity Sheffield participation targets).

 Rugby Union: a 2% growth year on year in adult players up to 2015, equating to an average of 1 additional adult team per club (target in line with the RFU Strategic Plan) – this has roughly been assumed to equate to 10% growth over the next 5 years.

 Hockey: a 5% growth rate (figures in line with Activity Sheffield participation targets).

 Lacrosse : no detailed modelling has been completed. The commentary later in this report indicates some potential changes to the sport in the future.

 Rounders: no detailed modelling has been completed. The commentary later in this report indicates some potential changes to the sport in the future. Quality Audit and Assessment

Natural Turf Pitches

2.18 The methodology advocated in the Toward a Level Playing Field guidance includes assessing the quality of natural turf pitches through site visits and use of a non-technical visual assessment proforma. The quality proforma collects a range of information about pitches based on a visual inspection. Specific criteria rated include:

 Grass cover;

 Length of grass;

 Size of pitch (and suitability);

 Slope;

 Evenness;

 Presence of common pitch problems; and

 Availability of changing rooms.

2.19 Each pitch is scored out of a possible 100% and graded on a quality scale from ‘Poor’ through to ‘Excellent’. A proforma is also used to provide a quality rating for the ancillary facilities serving the site and rates the quality of the changing accommodation, parking facilities and general site access. The quality ratings are set out in Figure 2 below.

Figure 2 : Quality Categories Playing Pitches Ancillary / Changing Room Facilities Pitch Score Pitch Rating Site Score Quality Rating 90% + Excellent Pitch 90% + Excellent Facilities 65% - 90% A Good Pitch 60% - 80% Good Facilities 55% - 64% An Average Pitch 40% - 59% Average Facilities 30% - 54% A Below Average Pitch 30% - 39% Poor Facilities <30% A Poor Pitch < 30% Very Poor Facilities

16 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

2.20 As indicated earlier in the report, an extensive programme of site visits has not been completed as part of the updated assessment. Instead a streamlined visit programme was agreed to capture changes that have occurred at sites since the 2005 assessment was completed. Nearly 1/5 of the total number of active sites were re-visiting and, roughly speaking, an even number of sites being selected in each of the Community Assembly Areas. Sites were re-assessed where there was evidence of new or improved provision, or in some cases where they are subject to heavy usage from a number of teams. For other sites, assessment ratings captured as part of the 2005 audit have been used as a current measure of quality. Ideally a full programme of site visits should be planned and delivered, particularly in those areas where there is a recorded quantitative deficiency. Sub-Area Analysis

2.21 To build a more accurate picture of issues relating to surplus and deficiencies across the sports assessed, the data collected has been used to carry out a number of 'sub-analysis area assessments'. Put simply this means focussing on a number of smaller defined geographic areas within the City to highlight particular hotspots of under or over supply or provision. For the purposes of this supply and demand has been considered on the basis of the City’s seven Community Assembly Areas. Key characteristics are summarised below.

Northern Community Assembly Area

2.22 The Assembly boundary encompasses the wards of East , , and Upper Don and . The Assembly area is made of up of rural and semi urban communities with a population of around 74,000 living in:

Audit Overview Supply of facilities in Sheffield

3.1 A total of 289 playing pitch sites have been identified. Not all of these are in current use. Specifically, 11 sites are classified as ‘disused’ and 77 sites are either under development, unmarked or do not currently accommodate any formal facilities.

3.2 The sites in use provide a total of 501 natural turf playing pitches across the sports assessed. Not all are available for community use currently. A detailed audit is provided as an appendix to the report. Ownership, management and community access

3.3 Pitches are owned and managed by a number of different organisations and available through a significant number of different management and hiring arrangements. For ease of analysis, three broad ownership categories have been used: Sheffield City Council; Private; and Education. An overview of where these sites are located is provided as Map 1 in the appendices and summarised in Figure 3. Maps 1a to 1g show sites per community assembly by ownership.

Figure 3 – Pitches by ownership and levels of community access Number of Number of % (of pitches) in Ownership/Management sites pitches community use

Sheffield City Council 92 157 99% Private 68 129 96% Education 129 215 67% TOTALS 289 501 84%

3.4 Overall more than 4 out of 5 pitches currently marked and ‘active’ has secured community access. The extent of community access varies by ownership, with almost all Sheffield City Council and private sports club pitches accessible, compared to only two thirds of those on education sites. Sheffield City Council Pitches - Management and access 3.5 In terms of pitches that are available and accessible by the community, Sheffield City Council is the main provider, both directly via the Parks and Countryside Service or Activity Sheffield, and via Education sites. The management of public pitches varies across the City, with some facilities leased to clubs, some managed by the Council on behalf of other landowners.

3.6 On-site school pitches are managed directly, with decisions about community use made by the individual schools. Levels of community use are quite high with currently 2 in 3 schools providing some form of secured community access. Some of these schools have received funding via the Building Schools for the Future programme and facilitate access to modern, high quality facilities. Demand for playing pitches in Sheffield – Community Clubs and Teams

3.7 There are 303 clubs across the sports analysed. The majority of these play regular fixtures in affiliated and unaffiliated leagues. The clubs generate in the region of 1150 teams. Football, as in most areas of the country accounts for most of this – just over 73% of all teams identified are football teams playing regular games. The number of teams and clubs varies considerably across the 7 community assembly areas.

Team Generation Rates

3.8 Team Generation Rates (TGRs) indicate how many people in a specified age group are required to generate one team. They are a useful indicator of levels of demand to identify variances in demand levels. The following table provides an overview of the TGRs for the five major sports. The implications of these are covered in more detail in the sport specific assessments and commentary on each area within the technical report

3.9 Comparisons to TGRs nationally (i.e. to demonstrate whether demand in the City is generally higher or lower than other areas) is limited. The national database of TGRs is out of date and includes few studies completed within the last 3-4 years.

21 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

3.10 It is also limited in relation to sports other than football (in relation to the number of studies included). A brief review focussing on football and cricket TGRs has been completed.

3.11 Key observations are highlighted below.

 Football

Z For mini soccer the national average is the generation of 4.56 teams per 1,000 population. In Sheffield the team generation is much higher, being 9.7 teams per 1,000 population.

Z The team generation rate for junior (youth) boys football is 12.7 (teams per 1,000 population) compared to a national average of 11.

Z For adult male football, figures from the national database indicate that on average 2.8 teams per 1,000 population are generated. The rate for Sheffield is similar at 2.6.

Z With regard to girls and Women’s football, team generation is also higher than the national averages. For girls football 1.9 teams are generated locally compared to 0.81 nationally. For adults it is 0.2 teams compared to 0.08 nationally.

 Cricket

Z Team Generation across junior cricket is above the national average for junior boys in Sheffield but low for junior girls (at 2.4 teams per 1,000 for boys and 0.5 for girls) compared to national figures (3.6 junior boys teams per 1,000). Adult rates in Sheffield are also below the national average. 0.7 teams per 1,000 is generated in the City compared with almost 2 nationally.

3.12 Consideration to TGR figures does also suggest there is some correlation between levels of supply and demand. That is, areas with a generally lower supply of pitches also have relatively low levels of demand and vice versa. This potentially indicates that a lack of facilities locally could stifle participation and cause latent demand in these areas. Changes since the previous Strategy

3.13 Changes to the overall levels of supply and demand since the previous strategy can provide a key indication of overall trends or growth and retraction. Where there has been little growth in sports, this can indicate that optimal levels of demand have been met or there is little potential for further growth, particularly where sports development programmes have been in place. The following changes between the strategy developed in 2005 and current strategy are:

 Overall City Wide Picture

 Demand: An increase in the number of teams from 1,012 in 2005 to 1,154 in 2011. This represents an overall growth of 14%.

 Supply: Little change to the number of pitches overall. The 2005 strategy identified 509 active pitches, compared to 501 currently. The current number of pitches with community access is 421, compared to 423 previously.

 Football

Z Demand: A significant increase in the overall number of football teams - currently 843 football teams compared to 702 previously. This represents a growth overall of some 20%. The previous strategy made a projection of this level of growth, with population increases suggesting that there could be up to 863 teams in the City in the future (2015). This total has almost been achieved. The FA attribute some of this increase to the fact that a number of football development workers have been in post over the last 5 years. Demand for AGPs has increased since 2005. Currently, unmet demand for use of AGPs for football is 40%, indicating that demand significantly outstrips supply.

22 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Z Supply: A slight increase in the number of pitches in secured community use overall. There are currently 310 football pitches available, compared to 307 identified previously. Since 2005, 7 new AGPs have been developed that are suitable for football; 4 rubber crumb (3G) and 3 sand- based.

 Cricket

Z Demand: An increase of around 10% in the number of teams identified – 179 currently, up from 163 in the previous assessment.

Z Supply: Little change. 53 pitches with community access have been identified, compared to 52 pitches previously.

 Rugby Union

Z Demand: An increase in the number of teams from 47 to 62 (around 30%). This is due in part to the inclusion of several University teams in the updated assessment

Z Supply: The increase in demand is matched by increases in pitch numbers. The previous assessment included only 18 community accessible pitches. This has increased to 27, but reflects additional school and university pitches available.

 Rugby League

Z Demand: A slight increase in the number of teams from 9 previously to 13 teams currently.

Z Supply: Four pitches were included in the previous assessment. The current audit has identified the same number of pitches in use for Rugby League.

 Hockey Z Demand: A decrease from 68 teams previously to 57 teams currently. However, unmet demand for AGPs currently stands at 33.5%

Z Supply: There are currently 9 full-sized AGPs with community use that are used for Hockey; 8 sand-based and 1 water-based. The water-based pitch and 3 sand-based pitches have been constructed since 2005. It should be noted that sand-based pitches are often used by other sports during the peak period, particularly football, thus reducing the availability of pitches for Hockey.

 Rounders Z Demand: An increase from 13 teams previously to around 20-25 teams currently. This is due in part to the inception of a new Sheffield Corporate League

Z Supply: The previous audit identified 12 pitches. This has increased significantly to 27 pitches, many of which are on school sites or private sports clubs. Not all are in active use by community teams.

 Lacrosse Z Demand: A slight increase in the number of teams from 10 teams previously to 12 teams currently.

Z Supply: The previous audit identified 3 pitches. The current audit has identified 4 pitches in use for lacrosse.

3.14 Identifying specific changes more locally is more challenging. The basis on which local area assessments have been completed is different. In the previous strategy area assessments were based on the 12 Area Panel areas. For the updated strategy, the Council’s 7 Community Assembly areas were

23 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

agreed as appropriate local assessment areas to reflect their devolved administrative and budgetary powers.

24 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Assessment and Analysis Summary Pitch Sports Football - Local Clubs

4.1 In summary there are 246 local football clubs generating 843 teams in total, a breakdown of these teams by age group can be seen in Figure 4. These teams play in a number of different leagues predominantly across the weekend. Higher Education teams affiliated to the FA are included in this list.

School Demand and Team Equivalents

4.2 There are 177 schools in the City impacting on both supply and demand. In terms of demand, assumptions have been made about the levels of use of facilities. Previous consultation with schools suggests there is significant variance in the use of on site facilities, influenced by focus sports, teacher preferences, pupil roll numbers and softer factors, such as the weather. Factoring in the potential impact of school use on facilities is specifically important if there is a heavy reliance on school provision for community sport.

4.3 For the purposes of drawing conclusions and findings relating to pitch capacity, we have made an assumption that school use equates to a minimum of 1 full game per week. In simple terms, it has been assumed that a school with an adult pitch will use this to at least the equivalent of 1 game per week (based on school consultation within other recent playing pitch assessments). Because school demand is effectively ‘off peak’ (i.e. during the week) it is the impact on overall capacity rather than peak demand that is important to consider. For the purposes of the assessment, school demand has been assumed to impact on 39 adult pitches, 42 junior pitches and 15 mini soccer pitches.

Supply

4.4 A total of 365 football pitches have been identified, of which 310 (around 85%) are judged to have secured community use. Of these 310 pitches, 45 are dedicated mini soccer facilities, 70 junior pitches and 195 adult pitches. 45% of these pitches are provided directly by Sheffield City Council, 31% by schools and 24% by private sports clubs.

Assessment

4.5 A summary of the application of the eight stage model assessment for football is provided in the figures overleaf. Figures show the results of the current and future modelling (5 years time). Future modelling has included the impact of natural population projections as set out in Appendix 2. Figures represent the surplus or deficiency in pitches required to meet demand, when modelled across the City, and when considered on a community assembly basis.

Key Issues

4.6 In the last two decades the game of football has changed considerably with the development of mini soccer and the explosion of the female and disability versions of the game. The game is currently looking at further developments including a 9 v 9 version of the game to improve the experience and transition for players from mini soccer to 11 v 11, this in turn poses a number of challenges around facility provision for the game.

4.7 In addition technology for all weather facilities has moved on significantly and the advent of the 3rd generation all weather artificial grass pitch provides not only a training base but an alternative match day venue, the FA is working with leagues, clubs and local authorities to educate them as to the benefits of these facilities. The game is also now looking particularly in Sheffield in the delivery of central venue football as opposed to the more traditional formats of the game. In turn this is making multi pitch venues key to the success of the delivery and growth of the game.

25 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Quantity of Pitches

4.8 In the case of football in Sheffield, the peak day for all forms of the game in all areas is Sunday morning. However, the level of demand (in terms of how much of the demand falls on these days) does vary for different age groups. For example, 97% of all mini football (6-9 years) is played on a Sunday morning, compared to 86% for youth football (10-15 years) and 53% of adult football.

Quality of Pitches

4.9 Quality assessment results are also included in the table and are also illustrated on Map 7 (based on site averages). Figures indicate the percentage of pitches within each area (and across the City as a whole) that were rated as at least ‘good’. These relate to community accessible pitches only.

Artifical Grass Pitches (AGPs)

4.10 The 2005 Playing Pitch Strategy did not take into account the impact of Artificial Grass Pitches (AGP) on football matches and training. Although natural turf pitches are still the preferred surface for competitive football AGPs have a significant role for training and commercial league participation. A more detailed analysis is contained in Appendix 9 (analysis of AGP in Sheffield by Sport England), but the main issues are summarised below.

4.11 As of January 2011, there were 14 full sized AGPs available for football use; 5 rubber crumb (3G) and 9 sand-based, and the analysis is undertaken on this basis. All but one sand-based pitch has dual usage with hockey, whilst 1 3G pitch has dual use with rugby union. Consultation with has revealed that a further 4 full-sized 3G pitches have become operational since January, although one of these pitches is not available for community use (Sheffield Wednesday FC). In addition, 5 smaller AGPs are currently available, with a further 2 planned. These pitches tend to be used for commercial 5- a-sde leagues or training purposes.

4.12 Although there are 14 AGPs available for football use, this number is reduced to the equivalent of 8 pitches when looking at the supply publicly available within the peak period (weekends and week day evenings). When this is compared to demand there is the equivalent of 16 pitches needed to satisfy demand for AGPs for football use. This means there is only half the number of pitches available to meet demand. This is reflected in the percentage of unmet demand which stands at 40% which is significantly higher than the national average of 28%. The majority of unmet demand is because the AGPs available to Sheffield residents are at full capacity. Only a small percentage of unmet demand is derived from residents living outside of the catchment areas of AGPs. Even taking into account the 3 publicly available AGPs that have become operational since the NFA analysis was undertaken there is still insufficient AGPs to meet demand. An additional issue is that almost half of the AGPs were built prior to 2005 and will require refurbishment during the lifetime of this Strategy.

4.13 The following issues are experienced by footballers but are not considered as part of the demand and supply analysis. They will each require further consideration when assessing policy options and determining priority actions.

 Small Sized APGs – There is no data relating to hours of use or number of teams playing at each site  Further analysis is required to determine whether demand for AGPs replaces demand for natural turf pitches or whether this is complimentary and, in effect, additional demand  The data suggests that pitch space appears to be limited during the peak period because of dual usage between football, hockey and rugby. Factors such as management arrangements and competition with other users may be some of the reasons underlying this but significant consultation is required with pitch users of each AGP to establish this. Anecdotal evidence from the FA suggests that pricing might also be an issue, with high costs suppressing participation in the sport.  It is not known how the use of AGPs relates to the location of clubs and teams that use them

Quantity deficiencies are most significant in the South and Central areas. In these areas there is a deficiency in provision across Mini Soccer and Youth football pitches. The most significant deficiencies when modelling potential future growth are recorded in the North, East, South East, South and most significantly the Central area. There is projected to be a ‘net’ shortage (i.e. even after potential re-designation) in all of these areas.

Quality: Overall there are significant deficiencies in quality across the City. Overall half of football pitches were rated as ‘average’, ‘below average’ or ‘poor’. There is also a significant quality variance across the 7 areas assessed – whereas nearly two thirds of all pitches in the East area were rated positively, only 1 in 8 pitches in the Central area were rated as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’.

Factoring in other Demand

4.14 Any deficiencies in football pitches to serve community sport need to be considered alongside estimates for the amount of non-community demand they may also need to accommodate. As highlighted earlier, for the purposes of the Sheffield assessment, an estimate has been made on the school use of pitches that are also available to the local community. Although the school use of pitches is confined to ‘off- peak’ periods, the demand generated does add to the overall use of pitches. This is demonstrated in the table below where an indication is provided of the total number of potential games each week versus the number of pitches in the area. For the basis of the calculations an estimate has been made for all schools and pitches in the specific area, including just those with community use and assuming school use is the equivalent of one game.

Figure 6 - Football - Impact of school demand /use of football pitches Estimated games of football per Estimated Games per Analysis Area week on community accessible pitch per week to meet pitches demand Northern 95 games / 64 pitches 1.5 games North East 42 games / 41 pitches 1.0 games East 78 games / 50 pitches 1.6 games South East 102 games / 57 pitches 1.8 games South 73 games / 39 pitches 1.9 games South West 73 games / 44 pitches 1.7 games Central 57 games / 15 pitches 3.8 games

Indicative average for the City 520 Games / 310 pitches 1.7 games

4.15 Overall it is estimated that there is the equivalent of 520 games of football per week, played on 310 pitches, equating to an average of 1.7 games per pitch per week. This provides an initial suggestion that supply is plentiful, given that a good quality pitch should have the capacity to accommodate 3 games per week. It should be noted that this is an indicative estimate only. The quality of facilities (school and non- school) does have an impact (at least theoretical) on capacity. This is considered later in this section, with the results of the quality audits used to illustrate capacity issues.

Latent Demand

4.16 Latent demand has been assessed by considering the TGRs for the City in comparison to national figures and those from the previous study. There has been a small increase in demand from most sports with football seeing the largest overall increase in the number of teams since the last study. Growth has primarily come from the mini and senior game.

4.17 It has not been possible to obtain information on latent demand from clubs due to the lack of detailed consultation as part of this study. However discussions with Sheffield & Hallamshire FA suggest that there is suppressed demand for youth football across the city with a number of clubs not able to access the same venue for each of their teams (i.e. a shortage of multi-pitch sites for the youth game). Potential latent demand is also a reality for all age groups in the central area primarily due to the shortage of facilities, as highlighted in the modelling exercise. The presence of football development workers was also noted as being a factor in localised increases in demand.

Impact of Quality on capacity

4.18 If pitches are particularly poor then they may not be able to accommodate the number of games required to meet demand and this could increase any deficiency recorded or reduce surpluses. The results of the quality inspections have therefore, in line with guidance detailed in Toward a Level Playing Field been used to show how quality might affect capacity. Map 7 identifies football pitch sites and their average quality rating.

28 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

4.19 The analysis completed suggests that 48% of pitches with community use are of a good quality standard. Based on an assumption that excellent/good pitches can accommodate 3 games per week, average pitches 2 games per week and those rated below average only carrying 1 game per week, the following observations are made:

 The capacity of pitches across the stock currently available for community use is theoretically increased by the majority of pitches rating average or above.

 On average the number of games that could be accommodated across all pitches is 2.4 games per mini pitch per week, 2.4 for Junior, and 2.3 for adult – this is more than the estimated number required to meet overall demand for football in the City.

Ancillary Facilities

4.20 Of the 127 sites with community access accommodating football pitches, 60 sites across the City are served by changing rooms (47%). The sites with changing facilities currently accommodate 163 pitches (53% of all supply). Further analysis shows that of those sites with changing facilities on site, 19 were rated as average, poor or very poor (37%). Access to good quality changing and ancillary facilities can influence the capacity of existing pitch facilities. This report sets out a number of priority sites for improvement moving forward.

Scenario Testing – 9 v 9 pitches

4.21 As previously mentioned, football is currently looking to develop a 9 v 9 player version of the game to improve the experience and transition for players from mini soccer to 11 v 11, this in turn poses a number of challenges around facility provision for the game. In Sheffield this is proposed to take place by the 2013 season.

4.22 It is likely that 9 v 9 will be the mandatory format for U11 and U12 teams and will play on 70 x 40 m or 80 x 50 m pitches. This will release some of the demand on youth pitches but at the same time, will provide an opportunity to reconfigure existing adult and youth pitches to 9 v 9 pitches where demand allows.

4.23 By analysing the current football data, there are 91 U11 and U12 teams playing in Sheffield. Peak demand is on a Sunday morning and 79 if the 91 teams play at this time (87%). Assuming that only one match will be played on each pitch and that games will be played home and away, there will be a need for 40 9 v 9 pitches if current proposals are realised. The 9 v 9 game would reduce the demand for youth pitches to 78 and leave a deficiency of 8 pitches (if current modelling figures where used).

4.24 The FA are currently developing a number of scenarios that assess how future changes to supply and demand could affect the sufficiency of pitch provision. Given the number of teams in Sheffield that are involved in football, it will be important that future revisions to this strategy take account of these scenarios if they are considered to be the most effective way of modelling supply and demand for football.

Pitch Access

4.25 It has not been possible to obtain primary views on pitch access from football clubs (including pricing and availability) due to the nature of the research undertaken for this study. In 2008, residents were consulted on their use of open space including outdoor sports facilities as part of the PPG17 assessment. 1069 out of 2022 respondents to the local resident’s survey (53%) reported that they visit outdoor sports facilities.

4.26 Local people identified that they travel for an average of 16.8 minutes to gain access to outdoor sport facilities in Sheffield. However, of those that walk (24% of respondents) the average travel time is 13.00 minutes which equates to 1,050 metres and those that drive (64% of respondents) the average travel time is 15.36 minutes which equates to 8,240 metres. The study sets the access standard at 1,200 m which indicates an aspiration on the part of Sheffield City Council to ensure outdoor sports facilities are closer to residents than they currently expect to travel.

Summary of assessment findings: Football

The headlines:

1. The modelling results show that provision (in terms of quantity) is relatively sufficient, although quantity deficiencies are most significant in the South and Central areas.

2. There is a surplus of adult pitches in all areas generally offset by deficiencies in all areas for either mini or youth pitch provision.

3. In terms of estimating all demand against available supply, indications are that available pitches need to accommodate between 1 and 2 games per week in most areas to service demand.

4. Overall there are significant deficiencies in quality across the City. Overall half of football pitches were rated as ‘average’, ‘below average’ or ‘poor’. There is also a significant quality variance across the 7 areas assessed.

5. There is suppressed demand for youth football across the City with a number of clubs not able to access the same venue for each of their teams (i.e. a shortage of multi-pitch sites for the youth game).

6. Potential latent demand is also a reality for all age groups in the central area primarily due to the shortage of facilities, as highlighted in the modelling exercise.

7. The presence of football development workers is noted as a factor which increases localised demand.

Cricket

Local clubs

4.27 In summary there are 38 local cricket clubs generating 179 teams in total. The clubs are reasonably well distributed throughout the City, however the greatest demand is in the South West area and the least demand in the Central area where no teams where identified. The teams play in various different leagues throughout the week and weekend. There are more senior teams when compared to junior, although the ration varies significantly across the 7 community assembly areas assessed. Across the City there are only 13 female cricket teams making up 7% of all demand.

School demand and team equivalents

4.28 School demand has negligible impact on the modelling for cricket. There are no education facilities servicing both school and community use although there are a number of schools with on site cricket facilities. As a result, school cricket has been deemed to have little impact on supply available to the community.

Supply

4.29 A total of 45 cricket sites (with a total of 53 pitches) have been identified, of which 44 (around 98%) are available for community use. These are predominantly in private (club) ownership. The Council currently only provides 3 cricket pitches across the City. Future pitch numbers are projected to increase, as a result of facilities being developed on BSF school sites. It has been assumed, unless otherwise specified that proposed facilities will be suitable for community use. However, it is important to note that these new facilities may not be in the right area or ‘environment’ to support club cricket. An overview of where cricket facilities are provided is included as Map 4.

Assessment

4.30 A summary of the application of the eight stage model assessment for cricket is provided in the figure overleaf. Figures show the results of the current and future modelling (5 years time). Figures represent the surplus or deficiency in pitches required to meet demand, when modelled across the City, and when considered on a Community Assembly basis. Future modelling has included both the impact of natural population projections.

4.31 Because adhoc fixtures are played and teams also take part in cup fixtures with varying levels of games, a demand ‘factor’ of 0.7 has been used in the assessment. That is, an assumption has been made that on average cricket teams will participate in more than one game per week on average during the peak season.

Key Issues

4.32 One of the key objectives for the ECB is to enhance facilities, environments and participation, focusing on providing facilities to sustain participation levels rather than a focus on a substantial increase in participation. The majority of cricket is club focused and as such the ECB have established a network of focus clubs to aid in the delivery of their objectives. In Sheffield, focus clubs are selected by the Yorkshire Cricket Board (YCB) on the basis that:  They are identified as a key deliverer within the YCB Strategic Development Plan.  They are committed to delivery of junior development programmes and/or development activities with specific target groups (disability, women/girls, and ethnic minorities).  They are able to access and utilise ECB, YCB and local development resources to support the delivery of their club development plan.

31 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

4.33 The following clubs are designated focus clubs in Sheffield and would be the focus of investment from the ECB where appropriate:  Sheffield Collegiate CC  Sheffield United CC  Shiregreen CC  Millhouses Works CC  Thorncliffe CC  CC  Hallam CC  Bradfield CC

4.34 Millhouses Works CC remain a priority club for the YCB, the club are currently without a home ground and negotiations are currently underway to obtain a long-term lease at Warminster Road (owned by Sheffield Hallam University).

4.35 The YCB and ECB wish to continue their partnership with Sheffield City Council to address particular areas where playing pitches and ancillary facilities could be improved and where new facilities could enhance the cricket offering, particularly in relation to public facilities where an increase in adult participation in cricket could be serviced. Examples of recent investments include the installation of non- turf pitches to reduce the demands on natural turf pitches at clubs or at sites where good quality pitch preparation is less viable e.g. parks or schools.

4.36 To meet with Sport England and Government targets and requirements for adult participation levels in cricket, the ECB are producing a number of initiatives to involve people in cricket activity outside established clubs. The Yorkshire Cricket Board (with 11% of the cricket clubs in England) are playing a crucial role in these development initiatives. One of the main initiatives is a form of the game new to England outside London called ‘Last Man Stands’. This new form of cricket will give people who are unable to play the conventional weekend club cricket an opportunity to play a shortened innovative form of the game to suit their needs. The Last Man Stands initiative is due to be trialled in Sheffield and will target corporate teams and after work players. It is unlikely to take place until at least the 2012 season. For this reason a central venue is being sought preferably in a park or open space where sufficient room would allow several games to be played at once.

Quantity: currently there are no deficiencies for cricket across the City however the figures do not take into consideration latent demand and the impact pitch quality has on capacity (see below). There are just sufficient pitches to meet demand in the North East, South East and South community assembly areas. In some cases facilities are currently sufficient despite demand being spread across a number of days/times. Projections for the future show that across the City there will be a sufficient supply of pitches, however there is a theoretical deficiency in the South and only sufficient supply in the North East, South East and South West.

Quality: Overall there are deficiencies in quality. On average, across the City only 69% of pitches were rated as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’. The areas rated the lowest for quality are the South East and South West. The North East and East assembly areas have the best rating for cricket pitch quality.

Factoring in other Demand

4.37 As highlighted earlier, none of the cricket facilities at school sites are currently being utilised by community sports clubs. School demand for cricket will therefore have little impact on community sport at present. The figures in the table below therefore represent community sport only, but do show an indication of the total levels of demand (as opposed to just those games at peak time). Of the 52 cricket pitches with community use, 12 are located on education sites. Where an education pitch could be utilised for community use it has been assumed that the school use is equivalent to at least one community game per week (in effect 2 team equivalents). The table below provides a simple calculation of the estimated number of weekly games divided by the pitches available to provide a rough indicator of how many games per pitch are required to satisfy demand.

Figure 8 - Cricket – Impact of school demand /use of cricket pitches Estimated games* of cricket Estimated Games per pitch Analysis Area per week on community per week to meet demand accessible pitches Northern 27 games / 12 pitches 2.3 games North East 7 games / 2 pitches 3.5 games East 10 games / 8 pitches 1.3 games South East 20 games / 6 pitches 3.3 games South 22 games / 6 pitches 3.7 games South West 51 games / 17 pitches 3.0 games Central 1 game /1 pitch 1.0 games Indicative average for the City 138 games / 52 pitches 2.7 games *some rounding up

4.38 The analysis above indicates that there is potentially significant use of the cricket facilities available in relation to overall games. As highlighted in the modelling summary, deficiencies are modest or only just adequate despite demand being spread across several days of the week. The figure above factors in an estimate of all the games played (based on a demand factor of 0.7, or each team playing 1-2 games per week). Overall, the available supply has to accommodate almost 3 games per week, and more in some areas. The figures identify some issues that are potentially masked by the overall modelling completed. For example, in the North East and South East, although pitch numbers are shown to be adequate, this is because demand is spread across the week. Taking into account education use as well as community demand, pitches in these areas are currently required to accommodate 3 or more games per week.

Latent Demand

4.39 In addition there are some indicators of latent or suppressed demand across the City when reviewing the TGRs and variances when comparing national rates. A key observation is that the adult rate (men) is less than half the nationally published TGR – for every 1,000 residents of cricket playing age 0.7 teams are generated in Sheffield compared to 2 on average nationally. This indicator alone suggests there could be potential for significant increases in cricket demand, if supported by development work.

4.40 It has not been possible to obtain information on latent demand from clubs due to the lack of detailed consultation as part of this study. However consultation with the YCB has suggested there is latent demand in the Central Area primarily due to lack of pitch supply. Areas such as Pitsmoor and Brungreave in the North East Area have a number of unaffiliated teams and leagues where unmet demand has been identified. Throughout the City junior cricket is very popular and the YCB reported that clubs are struggling to accommodate all junior matches during the week.

4.41 Pricing may also have an impact on latent demand and there is a belief that more people would play cricket if it cost less. There is scope for the City Council to introduce a more flexible pricing structure for the hire of its cricket pitches, especially where quality is not so good. Players are also reported to travel further to play cricket in Sheffield, this may also influence latent demand

www.scottwilson.com www.strategicleisure.co.uk 34 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Impact of Quality on Capacity

4.42 If pitches are particularly poor then they may not be able to accommodate the number of games required to meet demand and this could increase any deficiency recorded or reduce surpluses. As with the assessment of football facilities, the results of the quality inspections have in line with guidance detailed in Toward a Level Playing Field been used to show how quality might affect capacity.

4.43 The methodology for assessing quality provides an insight to ground and pitch quality however this is not a detailed analysis of how a site will ‘play’ and how much usage it can genuinely accommodate. This is dependent upon factors such as grounds maintenance and management of the square. For greater quality information it would be recommended that more detailed quality assessments are undertaken to assess the real capacity of a ground to accommodate matches.

4.44 The analysis completed suggests that around 69% of pitches currently available could, given the high quality of some of them, accommodate up to 3 games per week. If the overall theoretical capacity of pitches (based purely on their quality rating) is considered alongside the assessment results, then the following observations can be made:

 The capacity of pitches across the stock currently available for community use is theoretically limited by some average and below average pitches – specifically in the South East and South West Area where only 60% of the pitches are rated positively, and there is an estimated requirement for a high number of games per pitch per week.

 On the basis of the quality scores collated for pitches, capacity is estimated to be in the region of 137 to 138 games per week. It is estimated that the actual number of games is around 138 games. It is clear that cricket pitches are nearing capacity and there is a clear need to ensure that all pitches are of a excellent/good standard to maximise capacity.

Ancillary Facilities

4.45 In terms of sites accommodating cricket pitches (44 in total with community access), 38 sites (86%) with cricket pitches across the City are served by changing rooms. In terms of pitch numbers, this equates to 43 of the 52 pitches in community use (83%). However, the quality and suitability of some of these facilities is lacking - 9 of the sites audited have ancillary facilities rated as average, poor or very poor.

Pitch Access

4.46 It has not been possible to obtain primary views on pitch access from cricket clubs (including pricing and availability) due to the nature of the research undertaken for this study. However cricket facilities are reasonably well spread throughout the city with the greatest number in the North and South West areas. The majority of sites are privately owned by cricket clubs however there is a move to increase the use of artificial non-turf pitches at public sites, such as parks, to encourage an increase in participation and more casual play.

4.47 Consultation with the YCB suggests pricing may have an impact on demand and there is a belief that more people would play cricket if it cost less. Players are also reported to travel further to play cricket in Sheffield, especially to good quality facilities. Summary of assessment findings: Cricket

The headlines:

1. The modelling results show that provision (in terms of quantity) is generally sufficient, but only just in a number of local areas. An estimate of the total games played per week indicates pitches are at capacity generally. Only the North and East areas have a relatively adequate amount of provision. The modelling is based on an average of 3 home games per 4 week period (rather than www.scottwilson.com www.strategicleisure.co.uk 35 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

2), so represents a ‘worst case’ scenario

2. The quality of pitches is lacking in key areas – in the South East in particular less than two thirds of pitches meet the required quality standard – in this area there is also estimated to be a significant number of games per pitch (more than 3). Further technical surveys are required to assess the true capacity of cricket grounds in Sheffield.

3. Consultation with the NGB has suggested there is latent demand in the Central Area primarily due to lack of pitch supply. Areas such as Pitsmoor and Brungreave in the North East Area have a number of unaffiliated teams and leagues where unmet demand has been identified.

4. Throughout the City junior cricket is very popular and it is reported that clubs are struggling to accommodate all junior matches during the week.

5. Millhouses Works CC remain a priority club for the YCB, the club are currently without a home ground and negotiations are currently underway to obtain a long-term lease at Warminster Road (owned by Sheffield Hallam University).

6. The YCB and ECB wish to continue their partnership with Sheffield City Council to address particular areas where playing pitches and ancillary facilities could be improved and where new facilities could enhance the cricket offering, particularly in relation to public facilities where an increase in adult participation in cricket could be serviced.

Rugby Union

Local clubs

4.48 In summary there are 11 local rugby union clubs generating 62 teams in total. These teams play in various different leagues throughout the week and weekend and include some University teams. There are more senior teams when compared to junior. 3 out of 4 teams are classified as senior teams. The ratio varies significantly across the 7 community assembly areas assessed. Across the City there are only 3 female rugby teams making up just 5% of all demand.

School demand and team equivalents

4.49 School demand has negligible impact on the modelling for rugby, although there are 7 pitches identified at school sites, community rugby is played at key club sites. As a result, school rugby has been deemed to have little impact on supply available to the community, but is included as appropriate in the commentary that follows as it may have a part to play for future development.

Supply

4.50 A total of 15 rugby sites (with a total of 27 pitches) have been identified all of which are theoretically available for community use. The pitches regularly used by clubs are predominantly in private (club) ownership. Use of Artificial Grass Pitches to support Rugby Union is minimal and currently teams only have the use of one full sized AGP for training purposes. There is a small sized AGP planned within the coming year.

Key Issues

4.51 The RFU’s strategic plan focuses on increasing participation at club level and within universities, colleges and schools whilst ensuring that all teams have access to high quality coaching, playing and training facilities. In Sheffield some of the key issues include:  Improving access to sites, especially in the Central Area where demand is strong from the universities  Creating more space for club training including the potential to use school sites  Working with clubs to maximise opportunities for club growth, increasing participation and site usage  There is potential unmet demand in the Central Area due to the large student presence and the South East and South West areas due to the strong club presence.

4.52 Future sites are key to the growth of Rugby Union in Sheffield, however if sites become available through, licensing or long term lease (and linked to rugby clubs) activity can be moved to the site and possibly receive RFU Club Grants and Loans to develop new facilities. Central, South East and South West Sheffield are areas with current facilities which are at capacity (based on RFU Club Visits and Activity) it is felt that the access policy to school sites in these areas will be key.

Assessment results

4.53 A summary of the assessment results are provided overleaf. Area based assessments have been completed in line with those for other sports. However, given that rugby is a smaller sport (in terms of participation, number of clubs, teams and spread across the city) more local assessments are less relevant than for football and cricket for example.

4.54 Specifically, in relation to Rugby the RFU has developed 5 modelling scenarios to illustrate a range of factors impacting on supply and demand. This involves looking beyond a base quantity assessment and the scenarios are considered below.

Scenario 1 – All demand and All Supply

4.55 The audit has identified a total of 27 pitches including those not available for community use. Some of the facilities that are available in theory are not currently used by local clubs, most of which have their www.scottwilson.com www.strategicleisure.co.uk 37 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

own facilities (through lease or ownership). Total demand generated by clubs and schools is estimated to be equivalent to around 77 adult team equivalents. This is made up of 15 mini teams (equivalent to 8 adult teams), 47 adult teams and an assumption that the 11 secondary schools currently playing rugby (as identified on the RFU’s database) generating an average of 2 teams each (estimated total of 22 teams). Altogether it is estimated that this demand generates an average of around 38-39 games of rugby per week. Around 1 in 3 games are accommodated during the week and additional wear and tear is placed on the available supply.

4.56 The analysis completed indicate that even including additional demand generated by school use, pitch provision is on the whole sufficient to cater for demand. There are 27 pitches catering for around 39 games per week. This equates to around 1.4 games per pitch per week. However, the capacity of pitches is critical in some areas to meeting this.

4.57 It is apparent from applying the Playing Pitch Model that this sufficiency varies from area to area. The model, when applied to peak times for community use indicates:

 Only a modest surplus of pitches in the South East (surplus of 1 pitch)

 A small deficiency in pitches in the Central area (2 games on average per week at weekends, but no publicly accessible pitches within this area).

4.58 There is no community rugby identified in the East or North East, and only one game estimated to be generated in the Northern area.

Scenario 2 – Matches and Training Capacity

4.59 Rugby Union has a strong culture of training on floodlit grass pitches during the week, with some of these pitches also used at weekends. This scenario takes account of all the floodlit pitches in use and includes training demands on these where applicable. Some assumptions have been made to quantify these, broadly that each adult team will be the equivalent of 2 team equivalents for the purposes of applying the Playing Pitch Model i.e. they train every week and demand a pitch on a weekly basis rather than ‘home’ and ‘away’ as is assumed for matches. This increases the overall demand for pitches to the equivalent of up to 86 games (24 community games, an estimated 11 school games, and 47-48 training games/training use).

4.60 Across the whole stock of pitches this increases the number of games per pitch to around 3 games overall (27 pitches accommodating 86 games). As with Scenario 1, the additional use of pitches (much of which is midweek) when factored in has little impact on the peak demand for pitches for club rugby over the weekend. However training on natural turf will impact on the quality of pitches and will impact on the subsequent capacity to accommodate matches.

Scenario 3 – All demand and Accessible Supply Only

4.61 This scenario takes account of the pitches in community use only (as summarised in the overall modelling) and the demand as identified in Scenario 2 above. In effect this scenario provides the ‘worst case’ scenario, by including all demand generated by community teams and team equivalents generated from training and school demand, and assessing this against available supply only. Only school demand on pitches assessed as accommodating community use have been included.

4.62 Using just the accessible supply assessed against demand, there are a number of changes to surplus and deficiencies and the theoretical level of use that pitches have to accommodate. There are 27 pitches in community use to accommodate approximately 80 games (around 3 games per pitch, per week). On this basis, subject to quality being sufficient to accommodate this level of demand, then supply is adequate, but only just, and very much at capacity.

Scenario 4 – Pitch quality and capacity

4.63 The results of the quantitative assessment need to be considered alongside quality issues, as quality will affect the capacity of pitches to accommodate games. The quality audit suggests the quality of rugby www.scottwilson.com www.strategicleisure.co.uk 38 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

pitches is generally high with 25 of the 27 (93%) community accessible pitches rated as excellent or good. This includes around 4 pitches for which there was no quality rating available.

4.64 The analysis completed suggests the 27 pitches currently available could, given the high quality of some of them, be able to accommodate around 79 games per week (or on average 2.9 games per week). This compares to an estimated 80 games per week across the City, suggesting that overall capacity is only just adequate to meet demand.

Scenario 5 – Localised issues

4.65 It is recognised that because rugby is focussed around key club sites, it is important to identify localised supply and demand issues relating to these. The audit has identified potentially ‘spare’ pitches in relation to those that do not currently accommodate community use. The following table provides a summary of issues and challenges highlighted in relation to the larger community rugby clubs identified in the study:

4.66 A key issue facing clubs is how to meet potential future growth. The RFU has a target of developing one additional adult team per club by 2015 for all Section 1 and 3 clubs, this may be difficult to accommodate with current facilities. A potential solution may be to play some mini and junior friendly games on 3rd Generation AGP provision.

Summary of assessment findings: Rugby Union

The headlines:

1. A key issue facing clubs is how to meet potential future growth. The RFU has a target of developing one additional adult team per club by 2015 for all Section 1 and 3 clubs, this may be difficult to accommodate with current facilities.

2. The modelling results show that (in terms of quantity) pitch provision is on the whole sufficient to cater for demand, including additional demand generated by school use.

3. The quality audit suggests the quality of rugby pitches is generally high with 25 of the 27 (93%) community accessible pitches rated as excellent or good.

4. Future sites are key to the growth of Rugby Union in Sheffield, however if sites become available and are linked to rugby clubs, activity can be moved to the site and possibly receive RFU Club Grants and Loans to develop new facilities. Central, South East and South West Sheffield are areas with current facilities which are at capacity (based on RFU Club Visits and Activity) it is felt that the access policy to school sites in these areas will be key.

Rugby League

Local clubs

4.67 In summary there are 2 local rugby league clubs in Sheffield (Hillsborough Hawks and Sheffield Eagles) generating 11 teams (this excludes Sheffield Eagles semi-professional first team) with a further 2 teams fielded by the and Sheffield Hallam University. There are 4 adult and 9 junior teams. This represents an increase on the 8 teams identified through the previous strategy. These teams play in various different leagues over a Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, the 2 university teams play on Wednesday afternoon.

Supply

4.68 There are only 4 dedicated rugby league pitches in the City, 2 pitches at Hillsborough Sports Arena; home to Hillsborough Hawks and a further 2 pitches at school sites. Sheffield Eagles play some home games at Hillsborough Arena but also share other facilities used for Rugby Union, they also use Woodbourn Road for training. None of the AGPs within Sheffield are used by Rugby League teams.

Assessment

4.69 A summary of the application of the eight stage model assessment for rugby league is provided in the figures overleaf. Figures show the results of the current and future modelling (5 years time). Figures represent the surplus or deficiency in pitches required to meet demand, when modelled across the City. As with Rugby Union, given the small scale of rugby league in the City more focus has been placed on specific challenges facing the two clubs.

Quantity of pitches

4.70 An overall assessment of the surplus/deficiencies has been completed. Separate area analysis has not been undertaken given that the two clubs draw their membership from across the City and sub-region rather than a particular community assembly area.

4.71 For the purposes of the assessment it has been assumed that there are 4 pitches available for Rugby League. In reality Sheffield Eagles are able to access additional rugby union pitches. On this basis there is currently adequate provision on a Sunday morning to meet demand and a surplus of 3 pitches on a Saturday afternoon. This is because some teams play in the summer (and use Union pitches off season) and some teams play during the winter.

4.72 The future scenario is less clear, as discussions are currently taking place around a change to playing seasons. There are proposals for junior and adult amateur teams to start to play during the summer season. Although there are no immediate plans for this, it has been suggested this will happen in summer 2012 during the lifespan of this Playing Pitch Strategy. It is therefore a key priority that stakeholders work together to identify appropriate facilities to accommodate this.

4.73 Based on a growth rate of 5% and additional teams generated through population growth there is projected to be an increase in teams to around 12 teams. Based on current demand patterns this is likely to increase demand especially at peak demand on a Sunday morning. The model demonstrates there are theoretically sufficient rugby league pitches to accommodate this increase in supply, but only if the season remains as it is and if quality is sufficient to ensure each pitch has capacity to accommodate 2-3 games per week.

Quality of Pitches

4.74 Quality assessment results have also been considered. All of the pitches used for Rugby League are rated as ‘good’. On the basis of the findings collated, quality does not adversely affect quantity (in terms of theoretical capacity).

42 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Latent Demand

4.75 There are some indicators of latent or suppressed demand across the City. The TGR for the sport is generally lower than other areas in the North of England, however rugby union may pick up some of this latent demand.

4.76 It has not been possible to obtain information on latent demand from clubs due to the lack of detailed consultation as part of this study. During the consultation process the RFL stated there were no obvious issues around latent demand for Rugby League in Sheffield.

Impact of Quality on Capacity

4.77 If pitches are particularly poor then they may not be able to accommodate the number of games required to meet demand and this could increase any deficiency recorded or reduce surpluses. The results of the quality inspections have therefore, in line with guidance detailed in Toward a Level Playing Field been used to show how quality might affect capacity.

4.78 The analysis completed suggests that the pitches currently available could, given their high quality, accommodate up to 3 games per week. If the overall theoretical capacity of pitches (based purely on their quality rating) is considered alongside the assessment results, then the following observations can be made:

 The capacity of pitches across the stock currently available for community use is theoretically sufficient to meet the demand.

Ancillary Facilities

4.79 The 3 sites accommodating rugby league pitches are all served by changing rooms. Ancillary scores at these sites were rated as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’.

Other issues and challenges

4.80 The collection of raw data and application of the PPM overlooks a number of key characteristics of supply and demand that need to be highlighted and considered within the assessment conclusions. These include:

 The potential for a seasonal shift in the game to a summer playing season

 The proposed closure of Woodbourn Road Stadium currently used by Sheffield Eagles Academy as a training venue Summary of assessment findings: Rugby League

The headlines:

1. The modelling results show that provision of 4 dedicated rugby league pitches is adequate to meet current demand. However in reality there is an element of pitch sharing with rugby union, as demand for RFU pitches increase, so this could affect supply of pitches for rugby league.

2. The quality of pitches is good.

3. The model demonstrates there are theoretically sufficient rugby league pitches to accommodate an increase in supply in the future, however the potential for a seasonal shift in the game to a summer playing season may have implications on future pitch availability.

43 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Hockey

Local clubs

4.81 In summary there are 6 local hockey clubs (including university clubs) generating 57 teams in total. This represents a decrease in numbers, from 68 teams since the previous assessment. These teams play in various different leagues on Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday afternoons.

School demand and team equivalents

4.82 Given that hockey is played on Artificial Grass Pitches (AGPs) with few capacity issues, and that community hockey (training and matches) are played outside of school time, it is unlikely that school demand will impact negatively on the use of pitches by community teams. However, demand from other sports for training and casual play can impact on supply during the peak demand period (weekends and weekday evenings).

Supply

4.83 There are 9 full sized AGPs available for hockey use; 8 sand-based and 1 water-based. All of the sand- based pitches have dual usage with football. No AGPs are planned in the near future and only 2 have been built since 2005. This means that most of the sand-based AGPs will need to be refurbished during the lifetime of this Strategy.

4.84 Appendix 9 sets out the detailed demand and supply of AGPs for Hockey and Football.

Assessment

4.85 As with the two codes of Rugby, the assessment for hockey looks at the City as a whole and has not assessed hockey on an area basis, the assessment has focussed on specific issues and challenges faced by the . Because Hockey is played on AGPs, the analysis has been carried out using Sport England’s Facilities Planning Model and using the data recorded in January 2011.

Quantity of pitches

4.86 Although there are 9 AGPs available for hockey use, this number is reduced to the equivalent of 2 pitches when looking at the supply publicly available within the peak period (weekends and week day evenings). When this is compared to demand there is the equivalent of 4 pitches needed to satisfy demand for AGPs for hockey use. This means there is only half the amount of pitch space available to meet demand. This is reflected in the percentage of unmet demand which stands at 33.5% which is significantly higher than the national average of 16%. The majority of unmet demand is because the AGPs available to Sheffield residents are at full capacity. Only a small percentage of unmet demand is derived from residents living outside of the catchment areas of AGPs. This clearly shows that although there are technically sufficient AGPs to meet demand for hockey in reality this is not the case

4.87 In modelling the future levels of demand, projecting a 5% growth rate coupled with potential growth resulting from population growth would yield an additional 7 teams. Unless action is taken to increase the availability of pitches for Hockey use, this growth will be impeded.

Quality of pitches

4.88 AGPs have been rated for quality, details of the scores for each site are included in the appendices. 6 pitches rated as excellent, 5 rated as good and 1 pitch rated as average. This is based on a non- technical visual assessment, taking account of the topography and ancillary facilities.

4.89 The quality analysis gives a snapshot of the quality of AGPs and does not consider factors such as surface wear and tear and the appropriateness of goalposts, both of which will affect suitability for hockey use. Future audits might take this into account and this is picked up in the Recommendations section.

44 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Factoring in other demand

4.90 The following issues are experienced by hockey players but are not considered as part of the demand and supply analysis. They will each require further consideration when assessing policy options and determining priority actions.

 The adequacy of current AGP provision should be considered alongside the potential demand for AGP use from the 843 football teams identified, casual sport and other forms of football (small sided games etc). These all place demands on the existing network of AGPs with community use.

 Following consultation with the England Hockey Board (EHB), the biggest issue for hockey is the lack of space on pitches for training. The larger teams often require more than one evening’s training session and there is often limited availability due to the dominance of football use during midweek on many of the pitches. The cost to hire pitches can also be a barrier to use for clubs.

 It is not known how the location of the AGPs relates to the location of the clubs and teams who use them.

4.91 The priority should be to ensure the provision of a network of accessible and high quality facilities, both in relation to providing an infrastructure to increase sports participation, but in relation to easing pressure and preventing over use of natural turf facilities.

Impact of Quality on Pitch Capacity

4.92 Although theoretically AGPs are of high quality and therefore can handle more intensive use, more detailed quality assessments would give a clearer indication of the true impact of quality on pitch capacity. Such assessments could cover:

 Whether the surfacing and equipment is most relevant for hockey use

 Whether an AGP requires refurbishment and whether there is a sinking fund available to action this

 If a change in maintenance and/or management regime is required to prevent deterioration

Summary of assessment findings: Hockey

The headlines:

1. The modelling results show that provision (in terms of quantity) is half that required to meet demand.

2. The quality of pitches appears to be good, but this could mask poor maintenance and management

3. Other sports place demands on the existing network of AGPs with community use. Lack of access to AGPs during the peak demand period is a major issue for Hockey. Sheffield’s AGPs should be a network of accessible high quality facilities, providing an infrastructure to increase sports participation and to ease pressure and prevent over-use of natural turf facilities.

45 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Rounders

4.93 At the time of compiling the report the 2011 summer season was about to commence. The figures identified below therefore could change.

4.94 There are currently two established leagues operating in the Sheffield area, both accommodating around 7 teams; these leagues are:

 Women’s League

 South Yorkshire Mixed League

4.95 Both the leagues play on a ‘home and away’ basis with each team arranging their own home venue. These are typically pitches on school sites. Both leagues play midweek fixtures. No specific issues regarding availability, pitch quality or overall access to facilities have been reported.

4.96 The Rounders England database shows one dedicated club, Christ Church YC based at Davy Sports Club. This site accommodates 2 rounders pitches.

4.97 In addition to the two established leagues, a new league, the Sheffield Corporate League has been established, commencing in 2011. This will accommodate 6 teams initially. The league will operate as a central venue competition with all games taking place at the Pheonix Sports and Social Club (just outside the Sheffield City Council boundary) on a Thursday night. This facility provides 2 rounders pitches and supporting facilities, including changing rooms, a bar and social facilities. The Sheffield Corporate League has also included a period of taster sessions, training and practice sessions. These have taken place on Council operated venues, specifically Concorde Park and Ecclesfield Park.

4.98 In total there are around 20-25 community teams playing on a regular basis. In addition to community rounders, the sport is popular across schools, in Sheffield and across England. Rounders England data suggests 89% of schools play rounders.

4.99 No detailed supply and demand modelling has been completed, but from research completed it appears provision is currently adequate. However, it is recommended that this position is reviewed on regular basis. The number of rounders teams has more than doubled since the previous assessment, and there are plans for further rounders development work in the city.

Future Priorities

4.100 The future priorities for Rounders England are to provide continued support to the existing leagues, to enable them to grow and increase participation opportunities. Increasing participation overall across the adult population is also a key priority, and having the appropriate competition structures and supporting facilities in place is obviously integral to this. Part of the developing infrastructure includes the development of STAR Centres (Satellitte Training Academies for Rounders). There are plans for a number of STAR centres to be developed in Sheffield over the next few years and these will be located at appropriate school sites.

46 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Lacrosse

4.101 There is currently one well established community lacrosse club in the city, who play at Abbeydale Sports Ground. The club field 3 senior teams (1 women’s and 2 men’s teams) and 4 junior teams (U19, U16, U14 and U12). The men’s first team play in the of the North of England Men’s Lacrosse League and the women’s team in the Women’s North Lacrosse League. Sheffield Universities combine to field one men’s team in the Premier League and play at the Sheffield University Sports Ground, Warminster Road. All games are played on a Saturday afternoon and play on a ‘home and away’ basis.

4.102 Both Sheffield Universities field 1 men’s and 1 women’s team in the BUSC leagues traditionally played on a Wednesday afternoon.

4.103 No detailed supply and demand modelling has been completed, but from discussions with English Lacrosse it appears provision is currently adequate. However, it is recommended that this position is reviewed on regular basis. The number of lacrosse teams has remained relatively static in Sheffield since the previous assessment (a slight increase from 10 to 12 teams), however lacrosse sports development work is currently underway in the city.

Future Priorities

4.104 English Lacrosse has seen an expansion of the sport in the last five years where participation has increased moving the game towards the NGBs main aim of national geographical coverage for the sport. The National Development Programme has been the main driver for this expansion of the sport by ensuring that people are introduced to Lacrosse, encouraged to participate and then informed on how to keep playing, coaching or volunteering. The National Development Programme has enabled the organisation to identify new national programmes to deliver lacrosse development in future years. The programme is aimed at delivering community based locally delivered Lacrosse in schools and communities.

4.105 In Sheffield future priorities include growth in school participation by using the full-time coach at Sheffield Steelers to deliver coaching sessions at schools. At present primary schools linked to Tapton Secondary School are the focus of this work. English Lacrosse have also sourced ‘Active University’ funding to deliver better coaching and development staff dedicated to the network of university lacrosse teams including those at both Sheffield Universities. It is anticipated that growth in the sport will take place at both levels.

47 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Provision in neighbouring authorities

4.106 The Sheffield City boundary borders five other local authorities. The current status of playing pitch assessments and strategy in neighbouring local authorities varies. A brief summary of neighbouring assessments is provided below:

 Council – an outdoor sports facilities and playing pitch strategy has recently been developed and was finalised in early in 2011. The strategy focuses on protecting existing provision and that new and improved facilities have to be realised through external funding as a result of a reduction in public sector funding.

 Rotherham Council – a greenspace audit has been completed recently and a playing pitch strategy produced in 2009. This identifies a healthy net surplus of provision across the borough. However, housebuilding in the areas adjoining East and South East Sheffield could have consequences for the demand for playing pitches in Sheffield. This is not anticipated to be a major problem in the next 5 years, due to the current rate of house building, but should be considered in subsequent revisions to this strategy.

 High Peak Borough Council & Derbyshire Dales District Council – High Peak Borough Council, Derbyshire Dales District Council and the Peak District National Park Authority have jointly prepared an evidence base to support the preparation of their Core Strategies. In 2009, the three planning authorities combined to produce a PPG17 compliant Audit and Needs Assessment which provides the necessary evidence base to inform policies around open space and playing pitches. The assessment focuses on reporting the findings of the analysis and assessment and does not incorporate provision standards (in relation to meeting deficiencies and dealing with surpluses). There are unlikely to be any major issues given the sparse population distribution in the area of Sheffield bordering the High Peak and Derbyshire dales boundaries.

 North East Derbyshire District - Based on work carried out by Derbyshire Sport (including a playing pitch assessment and facilities strategy) the Council are aiming to prepare a local recreation standard, which will be available through the preparation of the Local Development Framework. The Council are currently using the National Playing Fields Association (now Fields in Trust) Standard of 2.4 hectares (6 acres) per 1000 population, until a local standard is adopted.

4.107 The extent of ‘imported’ and ‘exported’ demand will vary across facility types, and according to the location and proximity of key settlements. For example, for Artificial Grass Pitches (AGPs) it is expected that catchments for facilities across the City will extend into neighbouring areas as there is less plentiful provision of this type of facility generally, when compared to natural turf pitches. For example, plans to increase AGP supply in Barnsley as part of the Building Schools for the Future programme could potentially increase supply options for residents in the north of Sheffield e.g. Stocksbridge.

4.108 In some areas there will be little impact on demand and supply in neighbouring areas – for example part of the Northern area of the City borders the High Peak Borough and this has very few population settlements within the immediate vicinity of the Sheffield border.

4.109 It is understood that at the time of writing some assessment work and planning is being conducted across South Yorkshire to provide an overview of pitch requirements on a County basis. The findings of this report will inform the Countywide study.

Conclusions and Recommendations

5.1 This section of the report provides an overview of the key conclusions of the assessments and research completed.

5.2 In order to develop specific recommendations that form the basis of strategy and action moving forward, a number of policy options have been appraised in relation to the assessment results. The outcome of this review has helped to shape the overall strategy and approach to tackling the deficiencies highlighted. A brief summary of the assessment results is detailed in Figure 10.

Policy Options Appraisal

5.3 Any option to address the findings of the assessments and the priorities emerging from these is going to require significant investment and time to address. There is no quick fix, and any strategy needs to be phased and incremental. It needs to have partnership working at its core and adopt the ‘sweating the asset’ principle as a fundamental approach. Underpinning this is a need to be realistic about the current position (or baseline), the ideal position, and the amount of progress that can be made towards this.

5.4 An appraisal of a number of policy options has been completed to determine which are most appropriate to address the assessment findings.

Changing the use of existing pitches: ‘Re-designation’

5.5 This policy is most appropriate when there is a large surplus in provision for one sport, and deficiency in others, particularly in relation to winter sports. It is normally particularly relevant for football where junior and mini soccer provision is relatively easy to provide on existing adult pitches. It is less straight forward to re-designate surplus football into rugby. In addition to different pitch dimension and specifications, rugby is very much a club focussed game. Addressing any deficiencies in rugby provision for example must take into account the location of clubs, the location of existing demand and the subsequent usability of these pitches. It is also important to consider the ownership of the current stock of pitches – from the Council’s perspective re-designation is ordinarily only viable across pitch stock in their direct control. The usefulness of this option needs to be considered in light of the overall assessment findings. In football in particular, there is in most areas a ‘net’ sufficiency.

There is some potential for this option to have an impact given the deficiencies in certain types of football facilities in most areas of the City. This option will have no impact in the Central area.

Dual-use facilities and greater use of education pitches

5.6 This policy option is most appropriate when there is a large stock of high quality education facilities not in community use, and commitment from schools to open their facilities for wider use. In the case of Sheffield, approximately two thirds of the playing pitch stock across the Education stock is currently in secured community use. Not all these pitches are of a sufficient quality to meet the demands of community sport in addition to school use. For this policy to work there would need to be investment in pitch quality, potentially increased maintenance and ancillary provision in some cases, as well as a commitment to the Extended Schools agenda.

Where this option is likely to be key to addressing current deficiencies, this will rely on commitment from schools and partners to ensure that community use is managed appropriately.

51 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Enhancing carrying capacity through improving the quality of pitches

5.7 This option has most impact where there is generally poor provision across available stock, but the potential to improve provision at a number of key sites to increase capacity. The audit identified that only half of all football pitches are viewed as being of a ‘good’ standard, and in some cases access to quality changing provision is poor. There is therefore potential to target some investment to increase the overall capacity of key sites. This would need to be done in conjunction with other policy options and through ensuring the use of all pitches, and managed appropriately (i.e. not overplayed).

This option should be explored and a number of priority sites are identified in the recommendations, with a focus on multi-pitch sites. The option needs to be considered alongside other options, particularly those involving potential changes to management and maintenance. There is a potential to develop community partnerships to maximise sustainability. Carrying capacity needs to be monitored as current multi-pitch sites can be over used - any investment in improvements to quality need to be supported by sufficient maintenance packages.

Changing the use of other existing recreational open space

5.8 This option is most appropriate when there is a known surplus of provision across other types (typologies) of open space that could, at modest cost be brought into use as sports pitches.

This option has the potential to be pursued given that the PPG17 assessment has been completed. However, given the spare capacity, and the difficulty of finding level land for pitches in Sheffield this option is viewed as a lower priority.

Bringing into play unmarked and disused facilities

5.9 This option is relevant where there is existing land designated as playing pitch provision which is currently disused or unmarked and could address local deficiencies. In the case of Sheffield it links with the above option in relation to a number of sites that have previously been used as playing fields. Although these are not necessarily classed as ‘disused’ there is potential, if required to add additional provision (i.e. mark out additional pitches) on a number of key sites. However, in some cases investment is needed to improve quality and stimulate demand. (Some sites are under used, have low levels of demand because their quality is lacking).

The audit has identified a number of sites that were recently used for playing pitches. This option therefore has some potential to help address some of the findings, but it is not viewed as much a priority as improving the quality and access to existing multi-pitch sites. Any site brought into use would need to meet the size and technical requirements of the appropriate NGB and supported by appropriate ancillary facilities. However, the ‘quality ceiling’ on public sites (given non-sporting and informal use) needs to be factored into decision making. As with other options, those sites with the potential to accommodate multiple pitches should be viewed as a priority.

52 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Management options, including Community Asset Transfer and long term leasing

5.10 This option is most appropriate where there is a track record of this policy resulting in more effective investment and access to external funding, improvements in quality etc and where there is also adequate provision to service demand created by the emergence of new clubs / teams. The option is more attractive where there is a surplus or adequate provision in a local level, and less pressure on facilities.

5.11 There is also an opportunity to transfer assets in different models and governance arrangements e.g. community sports hubs and community interest companies. There are a number of models that could be used.

5.12 Under certain arrangements, through a partnership model, assets can be made available to service several sports, clubs, teams and schools and enough flexibility can be built in to allow for other ad hoc casual hire, particularly if quality and carrying capacity is improved and specialist provision (e.g. AGPs) are installed.

There is potential for this option to be explored further, dependent on the Council’s policy on priority use of pitches. In some areas, transferring assets to one club when there may be several clubs demanding additional facilities could have an overall negative impact. It is suggested that the option is piloted in more detail, and further research is needed to explore capacity and willingness of sports clubs, leagues and consortia of clubs to adopt this approach.

Develop new facilities on new sites

5.13 This option is generally a ‘last resort’ approach when all other options have been explored given the capital investment implications. It is only appropriate where there is a lack of provision overall and deficiencies across a number of sports which cannot be fully addressed by implementing the policy options outlined above.

This option should be considered a lower priority for Sheffield in light of the assessment findings. The supply audit has identified a number of former pitch sites with potential (subject to investment) for bringing back into use should the need arise.

Recommendations

5.14 It is clear from the appraisals that although there is no one policy option that will adequately address the assessment findings and issues and challenges emerging from these, a number do present a viable approach on which to base a future strategy.

5.15 However, a reality is that public sector funding is going to be reducing and not increasing – this means the context for delivery of a future strategy is focused on protecting existing provision and that new and improved facilities have to be realised through external funding (capital and revenue). This means the following:

 Ensuring current facilities are used as effectively as possible with clear management, maintenance and booking responsibilities

 Delivery of improvements through partnership working with private, other public and voluntary sectors

 Clear and transparent planning policy to ensure the playing pitch strategy can be delivered

53 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

General Strategy

5.16 The general strategy for the City comprises the following priority themes. Underpinning them all is the need for investment. This is a given in relation to the assessment results where across the board there are deficiencies in quality. The Playing Pitch Strategy must:

1. Maximise the impact of current assets and be protective of what is currently provided: For Sheffield City Council this means taking a more holistic and co-ordinated view of its existing pitch stock (including education pitches at schools) and ensuring new and existing sites such as those built through the BSF programme have appropriate Community Use Agreements (CUAs). CUAs though will need to be managed and reviewed appropriately.

2. Be delivered in partnership: Linked to the above theme, it is important that the Council works in partnership (ongoing) to address the assessment findings. There are a number of key partners and stakeholders involved in the development and provision of sports pitches. The recommendations need ‘buy in’ from both internal and external partners, including Parks & Countryside, Activity Sheffield, Forward Planning, Community Assemblies, sports clubs and NGBs. Partnership working needs to be effective in minimising increases in maintenance and management costs, through design, co-location, community involvement, and Community Asset Transfer (CAT). If CAT of some sites is pursued, there needs to be recognition that the Council does not simply divest of sites or its responsibilities to the community, but actually transfers time and expertise formerly used to manage sites to advising, training and supporting the “new providers”.

3. Maximise current investment opportunities and adopt a prioritised process of site identification to guide the development of new provision that uses external funding where available. Ensuring Section 106 monies / community infrastructure levy and other investment through the planning process and local regeneration is targeted at the right types of provision in the right areas is important. It is unlikely, even through maximising the above practices that all shortfalls in quantity and in particular quality will be met. Monies from developer contributions should in the main be targeted at improving the quality and value of existing sites

4. Link to the priorities and drivers of other strategies. There will be a role for wider partners in addressing some of the issues identified.

5. Prioritise multi-pitch and multi-sport sites initially - It is widely accepted that it is more cost effective to invest in sites benefiting a number of sports and securing year round use. This could take the form of the community sports hub where a number of local organisations come together with the wider community to develop and manage provision. On a practical level there is the potential for shared maintenance costs across a number of stakeholders and different sports. The hub would then be supported in the enabling role by the council. This option needs incentives for clubs to come together.

6. Consider rationalisation of low quality/low value sites. The type of site that could potentially be considered would be one with a single pitch, where a pitch(es) is poor quality, and where there is poor quality or no changing facilities (or limited facilities i.e. no provision for women and girls, or not compliant with DDA). If poor quality pitches can be replaced with better quality provision through either re-designation/opening up access to other existing pitches on school sites, any capital gained through sale of sites should be ring-fenced for re-investment into pitch development and changing room improvement.

7. Work with clubs to aid club and sport development. There are clubs that have reached capacity in terms of expansion through success and would benefit from further support and assistance in partnership with NGBs.

8. Impact in the Short, Medium and Long Term: The assessment has looked at the current position and relatively short term changes in demand. The strategy needs to focus on addressing the issues highlighted, but be seen as a working document. Not all the shortfalls in provision will be addressed in a 5-year strategy; the journey from the current situation to ideal

54 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

facility mix may not be achievable in any timescale and there may be issues in accessing NGB funding in particular, which in some cases is determined and allocated in adherence to different timescales. Short term and interim solutions will be required to deal with the issues arising. This is most relevant when seeking to address deficiencies in changing provision in a realistic way. Temporary changing accommodation may be a short term solution and more cost effective on a larger scale. In other cases there may need to be a phased approach to improving ancillary facilities – for example, the development of basic toilet facilities followed by a phased approach to changing room development. Local Standards of Provision

5.17 In this section a number of recommendations for local standards of provision are made. The assessment findings are drawn upon to recommend the levels of provision required to meet anticipated future demand in terms of quantity, quality and access.

5.18 The need to set Local Standards for future playing pitch provision reflect the policy guidance of PPG17 (of which Towards a Level Playing Field is a recognised and required component), which requires that quantity, quality and accessibility standards are applied following audit and assessment, to inform future planning policy and delivery of provision. Standards are set on the basis of required provision to meet both current needs and future demand and growth anticipated within specific sports.

5.19 Local standards have been set in relation to quantity and quality, based on:

 Assessment results and the adequacy of current provision to meet known and estimated demand;  Anticipated changes to demand based on current participation rates;  Anticipated changes to demand based on participation increases and demographic changes  Current and desired quality of facilities. Quantity Standards

5.20 Quantity standards have been derived on the basis of the assessment results and estimations of future demand. The recommended standards reflect the assessment results and findings of local consultation. Standards have been set to reflect pitch requirements to meet peak demand and are proposed for all types of natural turf pitches assessed. For the purpose of setting standards, the assessment has been undertaken for each pitch sport and appropriate sub-categories where different types or specification of pitch are required. This specifically concerns football where mini soccer teams and youth teams require appropriately sized pitches.

5.21 The local standards recommended are based on the actual number of pitches required to meet current demand. It is also prudent to ensure that there is an adequate surplus to enable pitches to be taken out of use periodically for major renovation works. A number of recommendations are made later in the report in consideration to meeting local standards of provision.

55 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

5.22 Figure 11 demonstrates there is a deficiency of mini soccer and youth football pitches in Sheffield, a large surplus in provision for senior football, a marginal surplus for rugby league and rugby union and sufficient cricket pitches. Due to the demand placed on AGPs by other sports, there is a deficiency of AGPs for hockey at peak demand. It is important to recognise that the deficiencies in mini and youth football are potentially met by teams utilising senior pitches however there is a need to consider other policy options such as greater use of education sites for dual-use and the use of AGPs for league football matches.

5.23 The findings are based on the assessments previously recorded in Section 4. It is recommended that these levels of required provision are adopted as local provision standards. However, they represent an increase in current levels. They therefore cannot be met fully in the short term unless the deficiencies are met by converting any surplus senior pitches into mini and youth pitches (2 mini pitches can be accommodated in the area of 1 senior football pitch). The standards set out in Figure 11 are citywide quantity standards, when considering further actions there is a need to consider the local context such as club demand, local site opportunities and NGB priorities.

5.24 There are 58 pitches in the City that currently have no community use and these also need to be considered as an option prior to new provision. They include 22 mini soccer pitches, 22 youth football pitches, 11 senior football pitches, 1 cricket pitch, 1 rugby pitch and 1 AGP.

5.25 The playing pitch model predicts future demand over a 5 year period using population growth figures provided by Sheffield City Council and target participation growth rates for each individual sport (provided by NGBs). Further details can be found in Appendix 3. Figure 12 sets recommended standards based on future demand.

Figure 12 : Future Quantity Standards Required Provision (pitches) Pitch Type 2011 2016 Mini Soccer 103 119 Youth Football 118 137 Senior Football 95 112 Cricket 40 44 Rugby Union 26 28 Rugby League 34

5.26 If the predicted growth takes place, mini soccer and youth football will continue to be deficient of pitches, rugby union also has a predicted deficiency of one pitch by 2016. We suggest reviewing the Playing Pitch Model at five year intervals to update the data in Figure 12. Quality Standards

5.27 Quality standards have been set on the basis of the quality assessment results and the categorisation of scored pitches using the electronic toolkit accompanying “Toward a Level Playing Field”. The quality standard is based on all pitches being rated within the “Good” classification. In simple terms, the standard for playing pitch provision is “all pitches available for the community to use will be of a good standard”. Ratings for pitches fall into the categories shown in Figure 13

5.28 Provision standards should be set and applied to identify deficiencies in provision. This has been done through the completion of quality assessments on pitches. Maps 7-10 demonstrate quality across the City and provide an indication of the quality of each playing field site based on the average quality score.

5.29 Figure 14 shows deficiencies in provision when the recommended quality standard is applied. Just over a third of pitches across the City do not meet the quality standard for pitches. In terms of ancillary facilities, just over a half do not meet the quality standard. Access Standards

5.30 The access element of a provision standard is normally comprised of a distance threshold based on all residents residing within a set distance of a facility. Setting standards relating to access to playing pitches is difficult for a number of key reasons, including:

 Access can be affected directly by quality – some teams will play at higher standards than others and as a result may require higher specifications of facility provision;  The level of hire fees and charges can also affect access;  The presence of ancillary facilities also has a significant bearing on access – some leagues will not permit teams to play at venues not adequately served by changing rooms; and  Opinions on acceptable distance thresholds vary significantly especially for different sports. It is likely that a resident playing a less common sport such as lacrosse will be prepared to travel further than someone who wishes to play football. In many cases close proximity to a facility for home games is less relevant given that teams travel on alternate weeks for away games.

5.31 It has not been possible to obtain primary views on pitch access from sports clubs (including pricing and availability) due to the nature of the research undertaken for this study. However consultation with NGBs have provided feedback on the major issues around accessibility. Where appropriate, these are reported in the individual sport sections. In 2008, residents were consulted on their use of open space including outdoor sports facilities as part of the PPG17 assessment. 1069 out of 2022 respondents to the local resident’s survey (53%) reported that they visit outdoor sports facilities.

5.32 Local people identified that they travel for an average of 16.8 minutes to gain access to outdoor sport facilities in Sheffield. However, of those that walk (24% of respondents) the average travel time is 13.00 minutes which equates to 1,050 metres and those that drive (64% of respondents) the average travel time is 15.36 minutes which equates to 8,240 metres. The study sets the access standard at 1,200 m which indicates an aspiration on the part of Sheffield City Council to ensure outdoor sports facilities are closer to residents than they currently expect to travel.

57 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Identifying Priority Sites

5.33 A ‘Quality / Value’ matrix has been completed to help prioritise sites for improvement and can be found in Appendix 7. The outcomes are summarised in Figure 15. This uses the results of the assessment to establish the current quality of the facilities, and their value in terms of providing for local sporting opportunities. Sites with more than one pitch and catering for more than one sport are viewed as being higher value sites. Low value sites are typically single pitch sites with no changing facilities or underutilised.

5.34 Using the matrix and in consultation with NGBs and Council Officers, 18 sites are prioritised for improvement. This provides a framework for targeting investment and supporting funding applications.

Figure 15 – Priority Development Sites Community Assembly Area Priority Site Name Bracken Moor Playing Fields Ecclesfield Park Northern Thorncliffe Recreation Ground Forge Valley Community School * Parkwood and Heliport Site North East * Petre Street ** Mather Road Recreation Ground East Tinsley Green / Recreation Ground Waverley Lane / Cottages Westfield Sports College South East Former Westfield School Abbeydale Grange Upper School South Herdings Park ** Bents Green Playing Fields South West Redmires Playing Fields Totley Bents Recreation Ground ** Lowfields Park Central ** * Building Schools for the Future (BSF) funded site ** Small pitch awards

5.35 The list of priority sites in Figure 15 is not exhaustive and the list needs to be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. It is essential that NGBs remain in-touch with the City Council to best reflect the priorities of each sport and the needs of clubs, as set out earlier in the report. Sport and Area Specific Recommendations

5.36 A number of recommendations are made on a sport and a community assembly area basis to address the results of the assessments. These encompass individual sports where relevant.

58 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Sport Specific Recommendations

Football  Address the deficiency findings of the PPM and re-designate senior football pitches to mini and youth pitches where demand allows. Multi-pitch sites should be considered the priority for this action to enable junior football teams to play out of one home venue.  Working in partnership with Sheffield and Hallamshire FA, explore the future needs of the 9 v 9 version of the game and the challenges this may pose around facility provision for the game. Use this opportunity to re-designate pitches and maximise the use of multi-pitch sites for mini and youth football.  Focus on the delivery of central venue football, making multi-pitch venues key to the success of the delivery and growth of the game.  Work with the FA to prioritise sites for the delivery of 3G pitches for training and match use (where appropriate).  Assist Sheffield and Hallamshire FA in their aim to deliver a community/development club in every community assembly area.  Look to address the deficiencies in pitch quality across the City. Overall half of football pitches were rated as ‘average’, ‘below average’ or ‘poor’. Notable areas where quality improvements should be prioritised are Central, North East and South West.

Cricket  Work in partnership with the ECB and YCB to explore the opportunities for the ‘Last Man Stands’ initiative in Sheffield and locate a suitable central site.  Assist the ECB and YCB with negotiations to obtain a long-term lease at Warminster Road or other suitable site to establish a home ground for Millhouses Works Cricket Club.  Use the audit findings and further technical survey work to address areas where playing pitches and ancillary facilities could be improved and where new facilities could enhance the cricket offering, particularly in relation to public facilities where an increase in adult participation in cricket could be serviced.  Explore the opportunities of introduce a sliding scale of charges for park sites linked to the quality of playing and ancillary facilities.

Rugby Union  Work with the RFU to improve access to school sites for training and community use, especially in the Central, South East and South West areas where demand is strong from club and university teams. Help to negotiate community use agreements which need to be managed and reviewed appropriately.  Assist rugby clubs to maximise opportunities for growth, increase participation and site usage. Help to identify potential future sites for rugby union in Sheffield, particularly in areas of current club activity (i.e. SW, SE and Central).

Rugby League  Work with the RFL and local clubs to identify future issues over the potential for a seasonal shift in the game to a summer playing season.  Assist Sheffield Eagles Academy to find a new training venue if the proposed closure of Woodbourn Road Stadium goes ahead.

Hockey  Work with the EHB and FA to try and ensure sufficient AGPs are available for training.  Work with the EHB to investigate qualitative issues that might affect hockey use of AGPs, including the potential need for sand-based pitches to be re-surfaced during the lifetime of the strategy  Where possible review the hire charges for AGPs to ensure these costs do not stifle demand for hockey.

59 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Area Specific Recommendations

Northern Area  Establish development plans for Bracken Moor Playing Fields, Ecclesfield Park, Thorncliffe Recreation Ground and Forge Valley Community School.  Maximise the impact of the BSF facilities at Forge Valley Community School, establish and enforce a community use agreement with the school.  Surplus in senior football pitches is currently sufficient to offset deficiencies in youth and mini soccer – in consultation with Sheffield & Hallamshire FA identify appropriate sites for re-designation.

North East Area  Establish development plans for Parkwood and Heliport Site, Parkwood Academy and Petre Street.  There is just sufficient cricket provision in the North East Area, however consultation suggests there is unmet demand in the Pitsmoor/Burngreave area. Explore the opportunities for less formal cricket provision in this area and with support from the ECB/YCB look to install a non-turf pitch at a suitable site in the North East.  Maximise the impact of the BSF facilities at Parkwood Academy, establish and enforce a community use agreement with the school.  Surplus in senior football pitches is currently sufficient to offset deficiencies in youth and mini soccer – in consultation with Sheffield & Hallamshire FA identify appropriate sites for re-designation.

East Area  Establish development plans for Mather Road Recreation Ground, Tinsley Green and Waverley Lane.  Surplus in senior football pitches is currently just sufficient to offset deficiencies in youth and mini soccer – in consultation with Sheffield & Hallamshire FA identify appropriate sites for re-designation.

South East Area  Establish development plans for Westfield Sports College.  Work with the RFU to improve access to school sites for rugby training and community use in the South East Area.  Surplus in senior football pitches is currently just sufficient to offset deficiencies in youth and mini soccer – in consultation with Sheffield & Hallamshire FA identify appropriate sites for re-designation.  Prioritise the South East Area for pitch quality improvements.

South Area  Establish development plans for Abbeydale Grange Upper School and Herdings Park.  Surplus in senior football pitches is not sufficient to offset deficiencies in youth and mini soccer – in consultation with Sheffield & Hallamshire FA identify appropriate sites for re-designation and location of new youth and mini provision (including potential dual-use at school sites).

South West Area  Establish development plans for Bents Green Playing Fields, Redmires Playing Fields and Totley Bents Recreation Ground.  Work with the RFU to improve access to school sites for rugby training and community use in the South West Area.  Surplus in senior football pitches is not sufficient to offset deficiencies in youth and mini soccer – in consultation with Sheffield & Hallamshire FA identify appropriate sites for re-designation and location of new youth and mini provision (including potential dual-use at school sites).  Prioritise the South West Area for pitch quality improvements.

Central Area  Establish development plans for Ponderosa and continue to support the MySpace proposals at Lowfields Park.  To address deficiencies in football pitches in the Central Area look to explore the opportunities of utilising unmarked sites for pitch provision and negotiate the potential use of school sites currently

60 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

without community use. An increase in pitch numbers may help to improve pitch quality in the Central Area.  Prioritise the Central Area for pitch quality improvements.  To further address unmet demand prioritise accessible sites within close proximity to the Central Area.  Work with the RFU to improve access to school sites for rugby training and community use in the Central Area.

Appendix 2 : National Strategy Context

Nationally and regionally there are a number of strategies driving the delivery of sport and physical activity related services in Sheffield. They are broadly concerned with increasing participation across the population. There is currently a national agenda for sport, leisure and physical activity based on the Government's "Game Plan" strategy, numerous other studies and the current Sport England Strategy (2008-2011) which in part aims to get one million more people doing sport by 2012/2013.

While these documents have not been summarised within this report, their main aims and objectives and relevance for this strategy have been considered in undertaking this assessment. Overall the common themes relate to driving up sports participation and building an infrastructure capable of accommodating this. The Strategy is key to this, in terms of providing a greater understanding of the demand for and supply of sports pitches and providing the evidence base on which to make informed decisions. Reflecting and endorsing the priorities of the various NGB's for pitch sports, courts and greens and facility development and improvement is also a key outcome of this strategy. National Context

1 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

The Playing Pitch Strategy is key to this, in terms of providing a greater understanding of the demand for and supply of sports pitches and providing the evidence base on which to make informed decisions. Planning context

In strategic planning terms, one of the key current planning policies – PPG 17 Planning for Open Space, Sport and Recreation – requires that Local Authorities undertake robust assessments of the existing and future needs of their communities for open space, indoor and outdoor sport and recreational provision in both quantitative and qualitative terms. The PPG17 Companion Guide sets out a five step logical process for undertaking a local assessment of open space. It involves identifying local needs, auditing local provision, setting provision standards and applying provision standards. This report, outlining the results of the Playing Pitch Assessment forms part of the overall response to PPG17 for Sheffield. The Health Agenda

In addition to current sport and planning agendas, there is a significant current drive on a national level to increase the health and wellbeing of the population. Achieving this through increased participation in sport and active leisure is a key objective. In preparation of this report, the general themes and direction of a number of other strategies, plans and research have been considered. These include health driven strategies to tackle rising obesity levels, and initiatives to improve awareness of health issues. Collectively these could result in more demand for pitch sports and a subsequent need for increases in the quantity and quality of pitch facilities to provide safe environments.

Nationally there are a number of strategies driving the delivery of sport and physical activity related services in Shefield. They are broadly concerned with increasing participation across the population. While we have not attempted to provide a synopsis of them all as part of this report, they include the following. Planning Policy

The Development Plan Context

The Planning and Compulsory Act 2004 introduced major changes to the planning system. The new framework consists of Planning Policy Statements, Regional Spatial Strategies and Local Development Frameworks. Under Section 38 (3) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, the statutory Development Plan in generic terms, now comprises the relevant Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) and Development Plan Documents (DPDs) contained in the Local Development Framework (LDF). Until new DPDs have been prepared, the existing Structure Plan and Local Plans continue to form part of the Development Plan.

Decisions on planning applications and other development proposals must be considered against the statutory development plan, together with national planning guidance. Other specific planning policy documents which do not form part of the statutory development plan, such as Supplementary Planning Documents and Development Briefs, may also be given due consideration in assessing development proposals.

The Green Infrastructure Strategy will provide a way of taking forward many of the policies and initiatives outlined in the extant and emerging development plan. Accordingly, a crucial consideration in developing a strategy for green infrastructure and open space will be the extant strategic and detailed planning framework which cascades down from national and regional levels to local planning policy and guidance. National Policy

The recent planning White Paper ‘ Planning for a Sustainable Future’ identifies the need and importance of protecting parks and open space due to the contribution they make to the quality of life and health benefits they bring.

2 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Legislative statutes and implementing regulations are supported by Government planning guidance and advice disseminated via a number of sources; these include Planning Policy Statements (PPS) - which are gradually replacing Planning Policy Guidance (PPG) - circulars and other government agency publications. These are briefly summarised below.

Planning Policy Guidance Note 17: Planning for Open Space Sport and Recreation (2002)

PPG 17 outlines the Government’s policy objectives for open space, sport and recreational facilities, with the need to ensure that those elements are of a high quality, attractive to users, well-managed and well-maintained. In terms of delivery the long term aims are to:

 Ensure the provision of networks of accessible, high quality open spaces and sport and recreation facilities in both urban and rural areas, which meet residents and visitors needs, are economically and environmentally sustainable and are fit for purpose;

 Ensure an appropriate balance between new provision and the enhancement of existing provision;

 Provide clarity and reasonable certainty for developers and landowners in relation to the requirements and expectations of the local planning authority in respect of open space and recreational provision.

A key aspect of PPG17 is that local authorities should undertake a local needs assessment and audit of existing provision. The objective is to move away from the use of national standards of provision and to establish local standards of provision that address quality, quantity and accessibility.

Moreover, PPG17 maintains that open spaces, sport and recreation all underpin people's quality of life. Well designed and implemented planning policies for open space, sport and recreation are therefore fundamental to delivering broader Government objectives.

PPG17 also states that open space and sports and recreational facilities that are of high quality, or of particular value to a local community, should be recognised and given protection by local authorities through appropriate policies in plans. Areas of particular quality may include small areas of open space in urban areas that provide an important local amenity and offer recreational and play opportunities.

In addition, PPG17 has a number of wider objectives set out in its Companion Guide. These are:

 Supporting an urban renaissance - local networks of high quality and well managed and maintained open spaces, sports and recreational facilities help create urban environments that are attractive, clean and safe. Green spaces in urban areas perform vital functions as areas for nature conservation and biodiversity and by acting as 'green lungs' can assist in meeting objectives to improve air quality.

 Supporting a rural renewal - the countryside can provide opportunities for recreation and visitors can play an important role in the regeneration of the economies of rural areas. Open spaces within rural settlements and accessibility to local sports and recreational facilities contribute to the quality of life and well being of people who live in rural areas.

 Promotion of social inclusion and community cohesion; well planned and maintained open spaces and good quality sports and recreational facilities can play a major part in improving people's sense of well being in the place they live. As a focal point for community activities, they can bring together members of deprived communities and provide opportunities for people for social interaction.

 Health and well being - open spaces, sports and recreational facilities have a vital role to play in promoting healthy living and preventing illness, and in the social development of children of all ages through play, sporting activities and interaction with others.

3 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

 Promoting more sustainable development - by ensuring that open space, sports and recreational facilities (particularly in urban areas) are easily accessible by walking and cycling and that more heavily used or intensive sports and recreational facilities are planned for locations well served by public transport.

(Source ODPM Assessing Needs and Opportunities –A Companion Guide to PPG17 2002 Local Strategy Context

There are a number of key strategies and policies in place that will influence the Playing Strategy or where a contribution can be made to achieving aims and objectives. The key strategies are identified below.

Sheffield’s Corporate Plan – A City of Opportunity

Sheffield’s Corporate Plan sets out the strategic direction and priorities for the Council between 2010 and 2013. The plan is organised around 6 broad ambitions, which include “Protecting and Enhancing the Environment” and “Supporting People to be Healthy and Independent”. In realising these ambitions, key priorities include improving parks and open spaces and increasing participation in sport and physical activity.

The Playing Pitch Strategy will provide important evidence around the supply and demand for pitch based sports across the city, which should inform decisions linked to achieving the priorities of the Corporate Plan.

Sheffield Development Framework - Core Strategy

The Core Strategy sets out a vision for transformative and sustainable development in Sheffield over the period up to 2026. Some of the themes of this vision include promoting health and well-being for all, ensure the creation of successful neighbourhoods and prizing and protecting the natural environment.

To achieve this vision, key objectives include providing opportunities for physical activity and recreation, ensuring that local communities have access to a range of facilities including open space and protecting, improving and creating open space, where necessary.

In particular, Policy CS47: Safeguarded Open Space states that open space, including playing fields, will only be developed where it can be demonstrated that they are surplus to local needs.

The Playing Pitch Strategy will be an important factor in determining whether we have sufficient pitches to meet demand for sport.

City Policies

The City Policies contains a draft policy around Infrastructure and Developer Contributions. Green Infrastructure, which would include playing fields, is highlighted in the draft policy as one of the City’s priorities for funding.

The Playing Pitch Strategy provides valuable information in relation to the quality of sites and can therefore inform investment decisions and steer funding to those sites where it would be of most benefit to sport.

The strategy has been developed with the input of the National Governing Bodies for pitch based sports to ensure that any recommendations around investments are aligned with the priorities of the individual sports.

Sheffield Green and Open Spaces Strategy: Sheffield’s Great Outdoors

Sheffield’s Great Outdoors provides a 20 year framework for the quality management of green and open space across the city. Its principal aims relate to improving the quality of the city’s green spaces, increase participation levels; both in terms of the use of spaces and their management, and ensuring that open spaces contribute to broader agendas such as biodiversity and climate change.

4 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

The Strategy focuses on the themes of People, Places, Environment & Sustainability and Quality Management as a framework for bringing about these changes.

Specific policies include promoting the use of sites for sport and ensuring that the types of open space available to residents match the local needs, tackling barriers that currently limit the use of the sites and working with excluded groups to increase activity.

The evidence and recommendations contained within this strategy will contribute towards the delivery of these policies.

Activity Sheffield : Targets and Priorities

Activity Sheffield’s headline target is to achieve a 1% year-on-year increase in the City’s activity levels i.e. the number of adults achieving 5 x 30 minutes of at least moderate activity each week and the number of young people achieving an hour a day of at least moderate activity each week. The top priority is to improve health through encouraging regular physical activity. However, there is also a desire to support those people who wish to achieve sporting success.

Activity Sheffield focus their service delivery evenly across the seven Community Assembly areas in the city and particularly target children/young people and older people. They offer a wide choice of activities through sport, play and physical activity and aim to make a positive impact on the city’s wider regeneration agendas e.g. major sports events 2012 programme will increase city income and promote the city’s image; community programmes will contribute towards increasing community safety, positive outcomes for children, creating pride in local communities and increasing the skills and confidence of local people.

Activity Sheffield’s priorities relevant to this strategy include:

Leading Sheffield’s Transformation  Engage with UK Sport / NGB’s and their 2012 – 2015 Major Events Aspirations for the UK  Secure a number of Physical Activity projects for future years; Physical Activity Referral, Watch It, Active Workforce and Older People’s provision  Develop Sheffield’s participation plan for 2018  Develop a better means of supporting high performance NGB’s  Implementation of Volunteer Policy and Procedures including the promotion of volunteer opportunities and recruiting new volunteers

Playing Pitch Strategy (2005)

The Playing Pitch Strategy (2005) consisted of an analysis of the supply and demand for a number of pitch based sports. The strategy was completed in accordance with the Towards a Level Playing Field methodology and considered the playing field potential of over 200 sites in the City.

This report will provide an update to the 2005 Strategy. Sports Participation in Sheffield – The Active People Survey

A study of data provided by the Active People Survey1 provides additional context and the City's current performance in relation to Key Performance Indicators around participation. The survey also allows the comparison of data on a sport by sport basis with sub-regional and national figures. The results are shown below with the results from Sheffield (source Active People Survey 3) shown for comparison with those for South Yorkshire and the National averages:

Sports Participation Rates as measured by the Active People Survey South Participation Indicators Sheffield National Yorkshire

Percentage of adult population participating in Football at least 10.72% 7.62% 7.44% once in the last 4 weeks

Percentage of adult population participating in Cricket at least 2.33% 1.59% 1.02% once in the last 4 weeks

Percentage of adult population participating in Rugby Union at 0.15% 0.26% 0.74% least once in the last 4 weeks

Percentage of adult population participating in Rugby League at 0.00% 0.15% 0.25% least once in the last 4 weeks

Percentage of adult population participating in Hockey at least 0.28% 0.38% 0.37% once in the last 4 weeks

The table shows that in terms of participation in the main pitch sports, participation rates are higher for football and cricket in Sheffield and slightly lower for rugby and hockey than those recorded nationally. Where participation is lower than the regional average, these results could suggest that there is 'latent' (suppressed or unmet) demand, or the potential to increase participation across these sports.

1 The Active People survey conducted in 2008/2009 by Ipsos MORI, on behalf of Sport England, is the largest ever survey of sport and active recreation to be undertaken in Europe. A telephone survey of 193,947 adults in England (aged 16 plus), it provides reliable statistics on participation in sport and active recreation for all local authorities in England at a local level (a minimum of 500 interviews were completed in every local authority in England)

Sheffield Population and Projected Growth

A summary table of the population of the City, with estimates for future change is shown below in the table. Based on the projections used there is an estimated increase of around 6.38%.

Population Figures

2009 Population 2016 Population Population Increase Sheffield City 547,200 582,100 6.38%

Source: ONS 2009 Mid-year estimates and 2008-based Subnational Population Projections

The current population is estimated to be in the region of 547,200. Specific breakdowns and age group splits by community assembly area are based on Office of National Statistics (ONS) 2009 Mid-year population estimates and were supplied by Sheffield City Council. In relation to future growth, projections for ‘natural’ population change have been taken from ONS 2008-based subnational population projections. This reflects an increase in population of around 6.38% by 2016. All future modelling has been based on projections up to 2016 i.e. a 5-year period.

Further increases in population are projected beyond 2016 and these can be used to model the likely needs and levels of surplus and deficiency in pitch provision. However, as the audit compiled is based on a 'snapshot' in time, it is recommended that this update, and the playing pitch model are re-run at least every five years. Population Distribution

Generally the population distribution across Sheffield by Community Assembly Area is relatively even, however the density of population is varied partly due to the less populated rural areas in the Northern and South West areas.

Sheffield Population Distribution by Community Assembly Area Community Assembly Area 2009 Population

South East 70,835 South 75,615 South West 72,070 Central 85,605 Northern 74,463 North East 88,720 East 79,892 Sheffield City 547,200 Source - ONS 2009 Mid-year estimates

It is crucial that there is a good spread of pitch sites across the whole City. Good quality, accessible provision covering a range of sports needs to be provided within all areas. It is also important to take into account the value of a pitch site over and above its use for formal sport; many playing pitches/sports clubs (private and community) are also used for informal recreation, because they may be the only local accessible greenspace.

Appendix 3 : Methodology Introduction

The strategy has been developed using the guidance developed by Sport England and the Central Council for Physical Recreation (CCPR) detailed in Towards a Level Playing Field. This moves away from the application of generic provision standards and advocates focused research to identify local demand and supply, factor in qualitative factors and assess the adequacy of provision relating to quantity, quality and access for individual sports. Fundamentally this means the assessment results will be different. Deficiencies recorded using one method will not necessarily be recorded using the other, and vice versa. This section of the report provides an outline of the methodology and how it has been applied in Sheffield.

How the Methodology works

Playing Pitches

The Sport England and CCPR methodology for assessing playing pitches does not provide specific standards for pitch provision that can be universally applied. Its focus is on providing the means for deriving local standards, using local information, and developing policy to respond to local circumstances.

The overall aim of the Playing Pitch Model (PPM) assessment methodology is to determine the number of pitches required for each specific sport. In the case of Sheffield, the methodology has been used to assess the adequacy of provision for:

 Football

 Cricket

 Rugby Union

 Rugby League

 Hockey

The method has been applied to show the adequacy of facilities to meet existing demand for these sports. The PPM can be used to assess provision against a predicted set of circumstances, for example, future population projections. For this strategy we have used the model to assess the adequacy of provision on a local area basis (using the Council’s 7 community assembly areas) and in projecting the impact of future demand across the next five years. Ascertaining accurate supply and demand information is therefore critical in producing a robust, accurate strategy, which is ‘owned’ by all stakeholders. The Eight Stage Playing Pitch Model

The methodology comprises of an eight-stage approach, as summarised in the figure overleaf. This involves a number of specific research tasks to build a comprehensive audit. A series of toolkits are used to analyse the data collected with the resulting assessment figures interpreted in consideration to the local context and results of stakeholder consultation. All toolkits, data modelling and audit data is included within the appendices to this report.

1 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

Playing Pitch Assessment Methodology Stage Description and Key Output Identification of the number of teams Demand is established through a count of the number of teams for each sport using a Stage 1 variety of information sources, including pitch booking records, league handbooks, and consultation with national governing bodies of sport (NGB). The impact of future population projections are also considered. Calculating home games per team per week Stage 2 In a ‘normal’ situation for all sports, the number of home games is calculated as 0.5 of the total number of teams, representing weekly ‘home’ and ‘away’ fixtures. Assessing Total Number of Home Games per week This is the product of Stages 1 and 2, and is therefore not independent. The resultant Stage 3 figure indicates how many games have to be accommodated in the study area in the average week. Establishing Temporal Demand for Games This stage assesses the proportion of total home games played on each day. The data is Stage 4 expressed as a percentage of total weekly demand. This Stage will determine what percentage of all games is played on a Saturday for example. Defining pitches used / required on each day Stage 5 This is the product of Stages 3 and 4, and is not therefore independent. The resultant figure will indicate the pitches used/required on each day and time e.g. Saturday p.m. Establishing pitches available An accurate assessment of supply is produced which distinguishes between pitches for Stage 6 each sport and between ownership (public, private, voluntary and educational sites). In modelling the existing situation, only pitches currently available for the appropriate days/times will be relevant. Assessing the Findings The requirements to accommodate demand assessed at Stage 5 are then compared with Stage 7 the facilities as available at Stage 6. If the existing situation has been accurately modelled there should be either a good numerical fit between requirements and facilities available, or even ‘surplus’ provision on some days. Identifying policy options and solutions A range of policy options can be developed, such as new provision or pitch Stage 8 improvements, to help the problems identified at Stage 7. The method can then be used to further assess the impact of policy options, and contribute to the selection of the most cost-effective solution. Adapted from Toward a Level Playing Field – Sport England and CCPR (Page 11) Summary of the research completed

The key research methods, success of these and explanations of any specific assumptions made in the application of the PPM and supply and demand assessments for the non-pitch sports are summarised below and explained in more detail in the remainder of this section of the report. A number of research exercises were completed Summary of auditing techniques and data gathering Supply audit

The current supply of facilities was updated from the original 2005 study through undertaking a series of data review, research and consultation exercises. These consisted of:

 Review of information held by Sheffield City Council relating to the supply of playing pitches – this included reviewing the listing compiled as part of the previous Playing Pitch Assessment, a review of pitch bookings held by Parks and Countryside and a review of GIS datasets and mapping layers.

2 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

 Review of aerial photography to cross check all listed facilities identified and highlight any potential gaps in current information

 Review of information published on relevant websites containing supply information – including Active Places, school and university websites;

 40 site visits to pitch facilities thought to have changed since the previous study. ‘Quality audits’ formed part of these visits and were completed using the Sport England Non-Technical Visual Assessment proforma and Strategic Leisure’s own proforma for courts and bowls. Visits were conducted in March 2011.

 Consultation with key stakeholders including governing bodies of sport and relevant council officers. Demand Audit

In establishing the current demand for facilities a series of research and consultation exercises were completed, to update the information from the 2005 study specifically:

 Consultation with NGB representatives for all the sports included in the study scope to identify and review existing information and provide information on key issues for each sport in Sheffield.

 A review of booking information from pitch sites within the City where applicable

 A review of League Handbooks and team listings, online forums and related information where available.

 A review of relevant websites for clubs and leagues, predominantly aimed at ‘gap filling’ information collected. Specific approaches, considerations and assumptions made Quantifying non-club/team demand for the major sports

Although the assessment is focused on community sport, with identified teams playing regular league/competitive fixtures as the ‘demand unit’, the PPM prompts the need to consider other demands placed on sports pitches. Some attempt has therefore been made to do this using the following assumptions.

University and College sport - in terms of formal teams have been included within the demand audit and therefore included within the modelling. This is on the basis of some ‘cross over’ in both demand and supply. That is, some University and College teams play in local community leagues (part of demand) and the pitches provided by the Universities accommodate community use (and are used by a number of local teams for matches and training).

School sport and team equivalents generated by PE use of facilities has also been partially quantified and factored into the modelling accordingly. Although the focus of the assessment and resulting strategy is community sport, consideration has been given to the demand generated by school sport for rugby union and the use of available supply. Estimating and projecting future demand For population growth figures, figures provided by Sheffield City Council have been used as reported earlier. Target growth rates have been applied to future modelling to provide an indication of growth resulting from development work and specific programmes to increase participation in key sports. The rates used are:

 Football: based on a 10% growth rate over the next 5 years for mini soccer and senior football and 14% for junior football (figures in line with projected growth from Sheffield & Hallamshire FA).

3 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

 Cricket: a 5% increase in teams to represent annual growth of around 1% (figures in line with Activity Sheffield participation targets)

 Rugby League: a 1% year on year growth, or 5% overall (figures in line with Activity Sheffield participation targets).

 Rugby Union: a 2% growth year on year in adult players up to 2015, equating to an average of 1 additional adult team per club (target in line with the RFU Strategic Plan) – this has roughly been assumed to equate to 10% growth over the next 5 years.

 Hockey: a 5% growth rate (figures in line with Activity Sheffield participation targets). Quality Audit and Assessment

The quality of pitches has been assessed using a non-technical visual assessment proforma. This is part of the Towards a Level Playing Field toolkit and is included within the report appendices. The quality proforma collects a range of information about pitches based on a visual inspection. Specific criteria rated include:

 Grass cover;

 Length of grass;

 Size of pitch (and suitability);

 Slope;

 Evenness;

 Presence of common pitch problems; and

 Availability of changing rooms.

Each facility is scored out of a possible 100% and graded on a quality scale from ‘Poor’ through to ‘Excellent’. A proforma is also used to provide a quality rating for the ancillary facilities serving the site and rates the quality of the changing accommodation, parking facilities and general site access.

In making recommendations and interpreting assessment results, facility quality scores have been considered alongside sports club ratings of the facilities they use. A summary of the scores for all pitches identified is included in the wider suite of appendices. Seasonal variations and establishing teams and pitches

Establishing precisely how many pitches and teams there are within the study area was difficult for a number of reasons including:

 The number of pitches at a given site can fluctuate over short periods of time for reasons relating to management and husbandry - this means the findings of a count conducted in one season may differ from results of similar exercise conducted previously or in future seasons. This was the case for a number of sites audited. Where pitch numbers alter, an average site score was formed on the basis of the quality audits completed.

 The time at which site surveys are conducted will greatly influence the quality of pitches. This factor is particularly relevant to winter pitch sports, given that the site visits were conducted at the end, or after the end of the season in some cases. Most of the pitch audits were conducted at, or after the end of the season for football and rugby. As a result some pitches may have attained

4 Sheffield City Council Playing Pitch Strategy

higher quality scores on the basis of a visual inspection than if audited mid-season or in periods of poor weather.

 No goal posts or line markings were present on some pitches visited, particularly where they were being changed for summer use, or in the case of mini soccer where portable goals are the norm. In these cases an assumption that equipment and markings were ‘average’ has been made. Similarly, not all changing rooms were inspected internally and some assumptions have been made on their overall quality on the basis of their external condition and the views of clubs using them. Assessing the impact of quality on pitch capacity

The results of the non-technical visual quality audits have been used to demonstrate how quality might affect the capacity of current pitch provision. The figure below outlines the assumptions used to measure the impact of quality on capacity, working on the overall assumption that a good standard pitch can accommodate (carrying capacity of) three matches per week. Carrying capacity is then assumed to reduce as pitch quality falls. Those pitches rated as below average are judged to be able to accommodate only one match per week or less.

Quality of pitches and theoretical carrying capacity modelling Quality Rating of Pitch Assumed Carrying Capacity Excellent / Good Three matches per week Average Two matches per week Below average One match per week Poor One match per fortnight

This model has been used to arrive at a number of conclusions about the adequacy of pitch provision. For example, if all pitches are rated as below average then the overall supply will be equivalent to roughly half the actual number of pitches. Findings are reported in the following section of the report in relation to each sport assessed. Defining community use

A key component of the audit and analysis was an examination of the extent to which pitches identified were in secured public use. This was undertaken in the context of the Sport England definition of secured community use, and broadly embraces:

 All local authority pitches (Sheffield City Council)

 Educational facilities where they are subject to formal dual use, community use agreements or similar formal hire arrangements with local teams

 Any other institutional facilities which are available to the public as a result of formal dual / community use agreements

 Any facilities owned, used or maintained by clubs/private individuals, which as a matter of policy or practice are available for use by large sections of the public through membership of a club or admission fees

 Formal playing pitches that are marked out and in use for the relevant pitch sports have been included in the modelling and analysis

The number of pitches identified, and those included in the PPM as having secured community use are included in the supply modelling and taken account of in the individual sport assessment write ups. A full listing of all pitch sites is included within the appendices.

Team Generation Rates

A Team Generation Rate (TGR) is the ratio of the number of teams to the total population within a given age group. The groupings which have been used reflect age groups participating in the different sub-groups of each of the assessed sports (e.g. 6-9 year olds for Mini Soccer).

Identifying TGRs provides the means to:

 Compare participation in the assessed sports between the study area and other parts of the country where TGRs have formed part of Playing Pitch Strategy developments

 Assist in modelling future demand for pitches

The use of TGRs needs to be treated with caution. It is important to make use of them as a guide only and not at the expense of using qualitative evidence gathered as part of the study. Essentially, TGRs reflect the current situation and are based on current demand information. They may not include potential / latent demand where teams may not be able to develop due to lack of a suitable facility. Sub-Area Analysis

As mentioned in the introduction to the report, to build a more accurate picture of issues relating to surplus and deficiencies across the sports assessed, the data collected has been used to carry out a number of ‘sub- analysis area assessments’. Put simply this means focussing on a number of smaller defined geographic areas within the City to highlight particular hotspots of under or over supply of provision. This approach is key in determining if facilities are in the ‘right place’ to meet demand, rather than relying on figures for the City as a whole.

To build a more accurate picture of issues relating to surplus and deficiencies across the sports assessed, the data collected has been used to carry out a number of 'sub-analysis area assessments'. Put simply this means focussing on a number of smaller defined geographic areas within the City to highlight particular hotspots of under or over supply or provision. For the purposes of this study supply and demand has been considered on the basis of the City’s 7 Community Assembly Areas for football and cricket. Area assessments for rugby and hockey have not been undertaken as these sports have fewer teams and are more likely to draw from a wider area throughout the city.

Area assessments are summarised in the sport specific write ups of the report where details of the assessment results for each of the 7 areas is provided. In the absence of information from clubs directly, the following criteria have been used (in the order listed) to determine where clubs come from:

 The team name, if it relates to a particular area has been used

 The home venue where the team plays

 The secretary’s home address Inclusions, Exclusions and Exceptions – Sport on a Local Level

As highlighted earlier, the audit and assessment of demand has factored in demand beyond just that generated by community sports clubs. Some allowance for demand for pitches generated through PE and school sport for example has been included also. In terms of facilities, the assessment has excluded some, and discounted others within the modelling completed. The facilities not covered by the assessment calculations are:

 Educational establishment facilities, which have no formal community use agreement and are not available for hire by the public – these are included in the audit and considered as part of the policy

options and potential solutions to issues raised, but not been ‘counted’ as currently available supply.

 Professional stadia/pitches, which are reserved by a specific team for elite use only

 All other sports pitches which are not available for public use – these are contained within the overall audit of pitches included in Appendix 4.
