London Borough of Barking & Dagenham Playing Pitch and Outdoor Sports Facilities Strategy 2005 LONDON BOROUGH OF BARKING & DAGENHAM PLAYING PITCH AND OUTDOOR SPORTS FACILITIES STRATEGY 2005 - 2010 (FINAL DRAFT) APRIL 2005 CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 GLOSSARY OF TERMS 9 I INTRODUCTION 10 II THE NATIONAL AND REGIONAL POLICY CONTEXT 19 III THE BOROUGH CONTEXT 30 IV OUTDOOR SPORTS FACILITIES DEMAND 39 V OUTDOOR SPORTS FACILITIES SUPPLY 51 VI THE BALANCE BETWEEN SUPPLY AND DEMAND 64 VII POLICY OPTIONS 80 VIII RECOMMENDATIONS 87 IX IMPLICATIONS OF RECOMMENDATIONS 90 APPENDIX I QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM 94 APPENDIX II OUTDOOR SPORTS CLUBS IN THE BOROUGH 103 APPENDIX III QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF FACILITIES 105 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1) Introduction: In autumn 2004, Ploszajski Lynch Consulting Ltd. (PLC) was commissioned by the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (LBBD) to produce a playing pitch and outdoor sports facilities audit and assessment report for the Borough. The document will guide the future provision and management of sports pitches and outdoor sports facilities in the Barking and Dagenham area in the context of national policy and local sports development criteria. 2) Project aims: The overall aims of the project are to: a) Produce a comprehensive playing pitch audit and assessment report for the LBBD, which includes: • The development of policy options. • Key recommendations for future action planning. • The establishment of local standards for integration into a wider leisure strategy. b) Ensure continuity and synergy with the Council’s current Parks and Green Spaces Strategy. 3) Project scope: The sports included within the strategy are as follows and in each instance include ‘mini’ and ‘junior’ versions of the games: a) Association Football (referred to in the study as Football). b) Cricket. c) Rugby Union (referred to in the study as Rugby). d) Bowls. e) Tennis. 4) National Policy context: The implications of the national policy context for pitch and outdoor sports facility provision in Barking and Dagenham are as follows: a) Government targets to increase rates of participation in sport and exercise from around 30% to 70% by 2020 will place significant pressure on existing sports facility provision. b) National planning policies provide a strong measure of protection for playing pitches and outdoor sports facilities, provided a rigorous assessment of need has been undertaken to justify retention and/or additional provision. c) Pitches and outdoor sports facilities on school sites are subject to general protection, regardless of whether they accommodate any community use. Ploszajski Lynch Consulting Ltd. 1 London Borough of Barking & Dagenham Playing Pitch and Outdoor Sports Facilities Strategy d) As a statutory consultee in the planning process, Sport England will oppose the loss of playing pitches and outdoor sports facilities unless a number of specific provisions are met. e) The London Plan for Sport and Physical Activity has a target of increasing participation rates by 1% per annum (equivalent to 1,639 people per year, based upon the resident population of the Borough). As with the wider Government targets, this will have important implications for facility provision. f) Most of national governing bodies of sport have detailed facility and sports development plans, all of which will impact upon provision at local level. 5) The Borough context: The implications of the Borough context for the provision of pitches and outdoor sports facilities can be summarised as follows: a) The percentage of the total population in the age groups actively participating in pitch and outdoor sports in Barking and Dagenham (6 - 44) is more than 4% higher than the equivalent national figure. Sports participation rates and demand for outdoor sports facilities in the Borough are therefore likely to be proportionately higher then the national average. b) With the Borough population projected to rise by 14,641 (8.9%) by 2011, the number of people in the age groups actively participating in pitch and outdoor sports (6 - 44) is projected to increase from 94,104 to 102,785. The total ‘market’ for pitch sports will therefore increase by around 9.2% in the next decade. c) The Borough is a relatively deprived area, with all wards classified as being amongst the 20% most deprived in the country. d) The Unitary Development Plan contains some general policies regarding the provision, retention and improvement of open spaces and sports facilities, but nothing specific to playing pitches and outdoor sports provision. e) The Parks and Green Spaces Strategy recognises that many sites are in poor condition at present and have few amenities, but sets in place a series of proposed improvements. 6) Demand for pitches and outdoor sports facilities: The application of two forms of demand analysis (peak demand and Team Generation Rates - TGR’s) reveal the following demand patterns in Barking and Dagenham: a) Football: • 223 men’s teams and 7 women’s and girls’ teams currently play football in Barking and Dagenham. • The TGR for senior men’s football is well below the national average, but this at least in part reflects the high proportion of shift-workers amongst the local population and the consequent need for teams to have a larger pool of players from which to draw. Ploszajski Lynch Consulting Ltd. 2 London Borough of Barking & Dagenham Playing Pitch and Outdoor Sports Facilities Strategy • The TGR’s for the three Sub-Areas of the Borough differ significantly, with the highest rates of participation in the Dagenham area. • Periods of peak demand for senior and junior football and Mini-Soccer are all on Sunday mornings. b) Cricket: • 34 men’s teams and no women and girls’ teams currently play cricket in Barking and Dagenham. • The TGR for senior men’s cricket is well below the national average. This would appear to indicate a latent demand for cricket facilities particularly in view of the proportion of residents in the Borough from the Indian sub- continent, whose participation in cricket is up to five times higher than the population as a whole. • Periods of peak demand for cricket pitches are quite variable, with a split between midweek evenings and Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Total peak demand is for 6 pitches on Saturday afternoons. c) Rugby: • 10 senior men’s, 5 junior and 7 mini-rugby teams currently play in Barking and Dagenham. • The TGR for rugby is well below the national average. • Periods of peak demand for rugby pitches are on Sunday mornings (5 pitches). d) Bowls: • There are 7 clubs in the Borough, who are currently providing opportunities for 694 male players and 143 female players to play competitive bowls. • The total number of bowls club members in the Borough equates to 1.25% of the resident population who are over 40, which is significantly below the national average for bowls of 1.6%. e) Tennis: Based upon the demand figures for the 20 courts in the Borough where usage figures can be devised, an average of 185 hours of demand per court per year is produced. This figure can be extrapolated to all 40 courts in the Borough, to produce a total demand for 7,400 court hours per annum. 7) The supply of pitches and outdoor sports facilities: The main issues relating to the supply of pitches and outdoor sports facilities in Barking and Dagenham can be summarised as follows: Ploszajski Lynch Consulting Ltd. 3 London Borough of Barking & Dagenham Playing Pitch and Outdoor Sports Facilities Strategy a) Dispersed provision: Playing pitch provision in many instances involves small numbers of pitches on single sites. If the 29 football pitches in Parsloes Park are excluded, the average number of football pitches per site falls to around two. Whilst this is a good way of delivering sporting opportunities on a localised basis, the maintenance of dispersed facilities is relatively expensive, compared with multi-pitch sites. b) Geographical distribution: The Dagenham Sub-Area has a disproportionately high number of most facility types in relation to its overall percentage of the Borough’s population. There are a number of major pitch and outdoor sports facility sites located in neighbouring local authorities that are right on the Borough boundary and these attract extensive usage from clubs in Barking and Dagenham. c) Pitch and changing facility quality: The analysis of the quality of playing pitches and changing facilities reveals the following: • Pitch quality: The mean score for the Borough is well above average for all aspects of the quality of pitches. • Changing quality: The mean score for all aspects of changing facilities equates to below average, with the size and number of changing rooms at most sites rating particularly poorly. • Health and safety: The mean score for the health and safety of pitches and associated facilities is above average. d) The quality of other outdoor facilities: The quality of all other types of outdoor sports facility in the Borough is rated as above average. e) Security of access: Facilities secured for community use account for 87.7% of all outdoor sports facilities in Barking and Dagenham. Whilst this figure is encouragingly high, there are some significant facility-specific variations, in particular 35.7% of rugby pitches and 18.7% of tennis courts are on school sites and are used on a non-secured basis. f) Pricing and demand issues: In general, the facility hire charges in Barking and Dagenham and Newham are higher than those in Havering and Redbridge. This almost certainly reflects a more limited supply of open space in the two boroughs closest to the centre of London and this is borne out by Newham’s prices being generally higher than Barking and Dagenham’s. Clubs in Dagenham and Redbridge may therefore seek to base themselves in Havering or Redbridge on cost grounds and Newham-based clubs may do the same, only in Barking and Dagenham. The Barking Sub-Area, that is closest to Newham, also has the fewest pitches and outdoor sports facilities and this is likely to lead to additional demand and usage pressures in the Barking area.

Samples were obtained from the main River Thames, tributaries, standing waters and the London Docks. The samples were examined for Total Coliforms and Escherichia coli to give a measure of faecal contamination. The results were compared with the standards given in E.C. Directive 76/I6O/EEC (Concerning the quality of bathing water). In general, coliform levels in river waters were higher than those in standing waters. At present, there are three EC Designated bathing areas in the River Thames catchment, none of which are situated on freshwaters. Compliance data calculated in this report is intended for comparison with the EC Directive only and is not statutory. Most sites sampled complied at least intermittently with the E.C. Imperative levels for both Total Coliforms and E.coli.

  • 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 .
