    Appendix 2 Artificial Grass Pitch Strategy

    Gloucester Playing Pitch Strategy Artificial Grass Pitch Update January 2019 Introduction 1.1 This update to the Artificial Grass Pitch Strategy (AGPS) has been prepared by the Playing Pitch Strategy Delivery Group (PPSDG). The PPSDG was put in place following the adoption of the Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS) by the Council and has core representation from the following: Gloucester City Council (GCC) Sport England (SE) Active Gloucestershire (AG) Aspire Sports and Cultural Trust (ASCT) Football Association (FA) Rugby Football Union (RFU) England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) England Hockey (EH) Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) Need for an update 1.2 An ‘Interim Review’ of the PPS was completed in September 2017 and endorsed by the Council shortly after. The review concluded that at that time, the needs for artificial surfaces in the city were as set out in the PPS, but the level of activity indicated it would likely be necessary an update is required within 12 months. 1.3 Discussions with the PPSDG in March 2018 concluded a review was necessary. This is because of the following reasons: Increasing interest from various parties in new artificial surfaces to provide for different needs; Evidence from use at the new 3G surfaces at Oxstalls Sports Park that indicate there is a need for additional facilities; and Initiatives from the sports governing bodies that could create additional need. 1.4 Cricket clubs do not play or train on artificial pitch surfaces and their needs are not therefore factored into this assessment. Playing Pitch Strategy position 1.5 The adopted PPS (2016) calculated there was a need for the following artificial sports surfaces in the city: 3 x full-sized 3G surfaces (all football compliant, 1 x ‘world rugby’ compliant); and 3 x full-sized sand-based surfaces (suitable for hockey play) with floodlighting.
