A number of factors make this an opportune time for the London Borough of Haringey to assess the existing playing pitch stock across the borough and develop a robust strategy with partners for the future supply, management and maintenance of high quality playing pitch facilities in response to identified demand. With the advent of changing national planning policy there is a need for the London Borough of Haringey to develop an updated and robust evidence base with regard to the supply, demand and quality of playing pitch facilities in order to ensure these important facilities are protected and benefit from planning gain and development contributions in the future. Sport England’s latest Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS) Guidance (October 2013) provides an updated methodology for completing these studies and there is now a need to update the 2004 Atkins study (Haringey Open Space and Sports Assessment) to provide a local specific and tailored PPS which makes clear recommendations about required facility improvements.
