The proposal Redevelopment of sports ground to provide improved sports facilities including new sports pitches, seating stands, dance studio, changing pavilion and car parking. The applicant The applicant is Be First Company on behalf of London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (LBBD), the agent and architect is Williams Architects. Key dates GLA pre-application meeting: 8 August 2018 GLA Stage 1 report: 15 April 2019 Barking & Dagenham Council Planning Committee: 3 June 2019 Strategic issues summary Metropolitan Open Land: The proposed outdoor sports facilities are supported; very special circumstances have been demonstrated for the inappropriate element of the scheme (dance studio), and the revised design would minimise footprint area and visual impacts. The proposal is supported and accords with London Plan Policies 7.17 and 3.19, and draft London Plan Policies G3 and S5, and the NPPF (paragraph 7). Sports facilities and community use: Submission of a detailed community use agreement for affordable and accessible usage of the sports facilities has been secured by condition (paragraph 8). Outstanding issues related to urban design, energy and transport are resolved and proposed measures secured by conditions (paragraphs 9 to 11). The Council’s decision In this instance, Barking & Dagenham Council has resolved to approve subject to planning conditions. Recommendation That Barking & Dagenham Council be advised that the Mayor is content for it to determine the case itself, subject to any action that the Secretary of State may take, and does not therefore wish to direct refusal. Page 1 Context 1 On 4 March 2019 the Mayor of London received documents from Barking & Dagenham Council notifying him of a planning application of potential strategic importance to develop the above site for the above uses. This was referred to the Mayor under Categories 3D and 3C of the Schedule to the Mayor Order 2008: • Category 3D: “Development – (a) on land allocated as Green Belt or Metropolitan Open Land in the development plan, in proposals for such a plan, or in proposals for the alteration or replacement of such a plan; and (b) which would involve the construction of a building with a floor space of more than 1,000 square metres or a material change in the use of such building.” • Category 3C: “Development which is likely to prejudice the use as a playing field of more than 2 hectares of land which—(a) is used as a playing field at the time the relevant application for planning permission is made; or (b) has at any time in the five years before the making of the application been used as a playing field.’’ 2 On 15 April 2019, the Mayor considered planning report (GLA/4098a/01), and subsequently advised Barking & Dagenham Council that whilst the principle of the development was acceptable, the application did not fully comply with the London Plan and draft London Plan, for the reasons set out in paragraph 38 of the above-mentioned report. 3 A copy of the above-mentioned report is attached. The essentials of the case with regard to the proposal, the site, case history, strategic planning issues and relevant policies and guidance are as set out therein, unless otherwise stated in this report. On 3 June 2019 Barking & Dagenham Council decided that it was minded to grant planning permission, and on 23 August 2019 it advised the Mayor of this decision. Under the provisions of Article 5 of the Town & Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008 the Mayor may allow the draft decision to proceed unchanged or direct Barking & Dagenham Council under Article 6 to refuse the application. The Mayor has until 5 September 2019 to notify the Council of his decision and to issue any direction. 4 The decision on this case and the reasons will be made available on the GLA’s website www.london.gov.uk. Consultation stage issues summary 5 At the consultation stage, Barking & Dagenham Council was advised that whilst the principle of the development was acceptable, the application did not fully comply with the London Plan and draft London Plan, as set out below: • Metropolitan Open land: The proposed outdoor sports facilities are supported; and very special circumstances have been demonstrated that would minimise footprint area and visual impacts. The proposal is supported and accords with London Plan Policies 7.17 and 3.19, and draft London Plan Policies G3 and S5, and the NPPF. • Sports facilities and community use: A detailed community use agreement for affordable and accessible usage of the sports facilities must be secured by condition/s106 agreement. • Urban design: There are no strategic design concerns. However, the Council must secure key details of materials to be used to ensure the best possible build quality is delivered in the context of the MOL setting; and that inclusiveness is incorporated into the scheme. • Sustainable development: A revised energy and sustainability statement must be provided which addresses energy and water efficiency concerns. Page 2 • Transport: There are no strategic transport concerns. However, justification for the car parking provision and further details of the cycle parking provision must be provided. Blue Badge parking must be doubled; a travel plan, DSP and CLP secured by condition. Application update 6 Since consultation stage, GLA officers have engaged in joint discussions with the applicant, Council and TfL with a view to addressing the above matters. Furthermore, as part of Barking & Dagenham Council’s draft decision on the case, various planning conditions and obligations have been secured. An update against the strategic issues raised at consultation stage is set out below. Principle of development – sports hub redevelopment within MOL 7 As considered at stage 1, the redevelopment of the sports hub for outdoor sports facilities was supported; the proposal has been redesigned to minimise adverse impacts on openness and very special circumstances have been demonstrated to justify the inappropriate element (dance studio) of the development in the Metropolitan Open Land.The proposal is acceptable and accords with London Plan Policies 7.17 and 3.19, and draft London Plan Policies G3 and S5, and the NPPF. Sports facilities and community use 8 Policies 3.18 and 3.19 of the London Plan and Policy S5 of the draft London Plan seek to ensure that community use of sports facilities is maximised. The sports hub already provides opportunities for use by the general public (including various sports clubs; schools; and, other local community users), and the proposed application would allow for existing community use arrangements to be enhanced by virtue of the improved sports facilities - including the new full size artificial grass and natural turf football pitches and changing pavilion including a gym and studio space. The GLA has also contributed £500,000 to support the redevelopment of this Parsloes Park sports ground. The draft community use agreement is supported as it clearly demonstrates that all the sports facilities including the gym will be accessible to local people for over 90 hours per week at an affordable price (no greater than for similar local authority run facilities in the borough). Submission of the final and detailed community use agreement is secured by condition. Urban and inclusive design 9 Details of materials have been secured. The redesign is welcomed and accepted as impact on openness is minimised and the potential to reduce energy consumption is optimised through choice of materials. Measures to incorporate inclusive design including increased Blue Badge car parking (10% of the overall parking spaces) have been secured. As a result, the proposal accords with design policies of the London Plan and draft London Plan. Sustainable development 10 A revised energy and sustainability statement has been provided, which has addressed energy and water efficiency concerns. All proposed measures have been conditioned. Transport 11 Car parking provision has been reduced from 137 to 132, during the application process and whilst it is disappointing that provision has not been further reduced the quantum accords with London Plan Policy. There has also been no increase in the amount of cycle parking provision, however on balance the quantum is considered acceptable in this case. The increase in blue badge car parking since Stage 1 by 7 spaces is welcomed. The requirement to submit a construction logistics Page 3 plan and travel plan that accord with the London Plan and draft London Plan has been secured by a condition. Response to consultation 12 As part of Barking & Dagenham Council’s consultation exercise, 698 nearby owners/occupiers were notified of the application by way of letters, site notices and local press. The Council also consulted statutory bodies and local amenity groups. In summary, the responses to the Council’s consultation process are set out below. Response from neighbours 13 The number of total response received from neighbours is five and two of them objected to the proposals on the grounds of ecological assessment, landscaping plans, additional nuisance, loss of views and impact on the park due to light pollution from floodlighting, and lack of detailed consultation with residents. These concerns have been dealt with the planning reports and conditions imposed by the Council. Response from statutory bodies and other organisations Sport England 14 Sport England stated that despite a reduction in natural playing field land, the proposed development would increase the sporting capacity of the site and would also introduce a wider health and fitness offer.

  • LCT Update 120521
    UPDATE MAY 12, 2021 1 SUMMARY Between 2018 and the end of 2021, the London Cricket Trust will have overseen the installation of 61 non-turf pitches and 13 net facilities across the capital. In Phases 1 and 2, in 2018 and 2019, 36 non-turf pitches and four net facilities were created and 66 cricket starter-kits were donated to primary and high schools. In Phase 3, in 2020, running into 2021, and Phase 4, in 2021, a further 25 NTP’s and nine net facilities will be completed and available for use. In this process, LCT has emerged as a lean, focused organisation through which the four county boards - Essex, Kent, Middlesex and Surrey - work eficiently and effectively not only together but also in conjunction with the ECB, measurably increasing cricket participation in the capital. Advantage Sports Management (ASM) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the LCT, reporting to the four trustees, identifying potential sites and regularly checking each venue, ensuring maintenance, maximising participation. ASM deals on a daily basis with county boards, ECB, councils, park management, schools, clubs, other cricket organisations and members of the public. ASM undertakes this significant volume of work pro bono, and receives an annual contribution towards expenses from each of the four counties. 1 THE LONDON CRICKET TRUST Putting cricket back into London’s parks 2 Index PHASE 1 (2018) and PHASE 2 (2019) maintenance report PAGE 4 PHASE 3 (2020) maintenance report and update PAGE 10 PHASE 4 (2021) update PAGE 17 PHASE 5 (2022) proposals PAGE 18 LCT WEBSITE PAGE 19 ACTIVATION plans PAGE 20 3 PHASE 1 (2018) and PHASE 2 (2019) AVERY HILL PARK Local Authority Greenwich County Kent LCT Facility 1 x NTP Completion date 2018 Most recent ASM site visit 21.04.21 The NTP is in decent condition and the outfield has also been maintained.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions. The All London Green Grid SPG was developed in parallel with the area frameworks it can be found at the following link: http://www.london.gov.uk/publication/all-london- green-grid-spg .

Together, it is hoped we can explore possibilities of how we may share ministry and resources to encourage our churches to grow. By exchanging ideas and experiences we hope to promote outreach initiatives in both parishes. These are our priorities – • To inhabit the world distinctively • To evangelise effectively • To hold ourselves accountable to one another and to God for the stewardship of the gospel • To re imagine the way we minister so that each ordained minister and each individual Christian discovers their part in God's ministry and so that each church flourishes. To this end we are looking for priests who are excited by this vision of becoming a church which is itself transformed, and which is becoming a more visible and effective presence in the huge diversity of communities we live in.

  • Parsloes Park, Dagenham
    Groundwork case study: Parsloes Park, Dagenham YOUTHWORK>>>CONSULTATION>>>FUNDRAISING>>>PARTNERSHIP BUILDING>>>PROJECT MANAGEMENT Groundwork’s role At the request of Barking and Dagenham’s Parks Department, Groundwork encouraged local young and adult residents who live, work or go to school close to Parsloes Park to participate in a series of workshops. The workshops aimed to identify what facilities would be suitable for young people in the park, the largest in the borough. Project description Parsloes Park is the largest park in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (LBBD). It is predominantly an area of flat playing fields, with few facilities for young people, and those that are available are in need of refurbishment. Groundwork had been asked to create a Community Action Plan for the area, which had been adopted by the Council. This plan highlighted the need for better facilities in the park. Additionally, local residents felt it was essential to have something in the park for 11-16 year olds. It is important for young people to have their say on what they would like to see in their park as every young person has their own ideas and views. To gather these, 12,000 questionnaires were sent to secondary schools in the borough. An additional 2,000 questionnaires were distributed to local residents. Through expert analysis of the responses against predetermined criteria, five potential ideas were produced. Local schools, youth organisations and local residents were then involved in a series of interactive workshops (see pictures) to help decide what the best solution was for their park.
