This report presents a supply and demand assessment of playing pitch facilities in accordance with Sport England’s Playing Pitch Strategy Guidance: An approach to developing and delivering a playing pitch strategy. It has been followed to develop a clear picture of the balance between the local supply of, and demand for, playing pitches and other outdoor sports facilities. The guidance details a stepped approach to developing a Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS). These steps are separated into five distinct sections: Stage A: Prepare and tailor the approach (Step 1) Stage B: Gather information and views on the supply of and demand for provision (Steps 2 & 3) Stage C: Assess the supply and demand information and views (Steps 4, 5 & 6) Stage D: Develop the strategy (Steps 7 & 8) Stage E: Deliver the strategy and keep it robust and up to date (Steps 9 & 10) Stages B and C are covered in this report. Background context In terms of the contribution of sport to the Council’s wider agendas, the Playing Pitch Needs Assessment will also be related to: The Corporate Strategy and Corporate Plan (2016-19) Cotswold District Local Plan (2011-31) Cotswold The Preferred Development Strategy (2015) Cotswold Open Space, Sport and Recreation Study (2011) The Corporate Strategy and Corporate Plan (2016-19) As one of its priorities Cotswold District Council recognises the importance of its towns and villages for shopping, leisure, cultural and community activities and will take action to encourage their vitality and viability. In doing so, the Council objectives include the wish to maximise quality of life by seeking to maintain and support the infrastructure, services and facilities needed to support its communities and businesses. The population of Cotswold District is 84,367, which given its size of 450 square miles and its largely rural character means that there is a low density of population. In 2001, 20% of the population was 65 and over. In 2013, it was estimated that 24% of the population was 65 and over. In 2011, there were 15.5% of total households in the District occupied by a person aged 65 or above living alone (higher than the county average of 13.2%). People living in Cotswold District are more likely to experience a good quality of life than elsewhere in Britain. Many parts of the District are in the least deprived 20% in England, with no parts in the most deprived 20%, according to the 2015 Index of Multiple Deprivation. However, some parts of the District experience specific elements of deprivation, with parts in the 10% most ‘deprived’ nationally in terms of access to housing and services (e.g. GP’s surgeries, post offices etc), and living environment (e.g. housing condition) with other areas in the top 20%. The issues relating to access to housing and March 2017 Assessment Report: Knight Kavanagh & Page 2 COTSWOLD PLAYING PITCH ASSESSMENT services are substantially due to the rural nature of the District. By working with others, the Council wants to improve the situation in these areas. Cotswold District Local Plan (2011-31) The Local Plan sets out the Council’s policies and proposals for future development and land use in the district. A new Local Plan is being produced, but until it is adopted the saved policies in the adopted Local Plan still apply. Planning policy offers strong protection for the retention of sports and recreation facilities. The Playing Pitch Strategy is an evidence paper that will support the existing Local Plan and the new one once it is adopted. Cotswold Preferred Development Strategy (2013) The ‘Local Plan Consultation Paper: Preferred Development Strategy’ outlines the issues that are of local concern and sets the strategic context for development. It establishes the levels of development to be accommodated across the District, determines its distribution and provides the strategic direction for the location of future development. The Preferred Development Strategy makes provision for 8,400 new dwellings in the district by 2031, all of which will be accommodated within Cirencester and the 16 ‘Principal Settlements’. This provides a valuable mechanism for determining where additional demand for playing pitches is likely to be concentrated. Further consultation work has been undertaken regarding Local Plan Regulation 18 Consultation: Development Strategy and Site Allocations (January 2015). Cotswold Open Space, Sport and Recreation Study (2011) The document comprised of an assessment of provision in the District and is an initial reference point for the Playing Pitch Strategy. The assessment methodology used in relation to current national planning policy guidance has since been superseded, though it provides a useful preliminary assessment of provision in Cotswold District. Why the PPS is being developed Planning Policy and other relevant sport related corporate strategies must be based upon a robust evidence base in order to ensure planning and sports development policy can be implemented efficiently and effectively. The Council is currently preparing a Facility Strategy. This assesses current and future need for built sports facilities. A Playing Pitch Strategy will complement the objectives and action plan associated with the Facility Strategy and other corporate strategies: Corporate and strategic: It ensures a strategic approach to playing pitch provision. The PPS will act as a tool for Cotswold Council and partner organisations to guide resource allocation and set priorities for pitch sports in the future. It provides robust evidence for capital funding. As well as proving the need for developer contributions towards pitches and facilities a playing pitch strategy can provide evidence of need for a range of capital grants. Current funding examples include the Sport England Funding Programmes, Heritage Lottery Fund (for park improvements), the Football Foundation and the Big Lottery. The site specific action plan that will form an integral part of this PPS will identify and prioritise sites that require improvements and where the funding should be secured from. March 2017 Assessment Report: Knight Kavanagh & Page 3 COTSWOLD PLAYING PITCH ASSESSMENT Planning: The Playing Pitch Strategy will provide important evidence to support the Cotswold Local Plan. It will support strategic policies on green infrastructure, leisure, outdoor sports facilities and health and well-being in the emerging Cotswold Local Plan. Evidence for Community Infrastructure Levy and Developer Contributions Operational: It can help improve management of assets management, which should result in more efficient use of resources and reduced overheads. The Action Plan will identify sites where quality of provision can be enhanced. An assessment of all pitches (in use and lapsed) will be undertaken to understand how pitches are used and whether the current maintenance and management regimes are appropriate or require change. Sports development: It helps identify which sites have community use and whether that use is secure or not. It helps identify where community use of school sports pitches is most needed to address any identified deficits in pitch provision. It provides better information to residents and other users of sports pitches available for use. This includes

    Two Prehistoric Enclosures at the Beeches Playing Field, London Road, Cirencester, Gloucestershire

    Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 130 (2012), 31–61 Two Prehistoric Enclosures at The Beeches Playing Field, London Road, Cirencester, Gloucestershire By DONNA E.Y. YOUNg and JONAtHAN G.P. ErSKINe1 With contributions by ElAINe MOrrIS, Peter MAKey, ANdrew ClArKe and KAtH HUNter Publication drawings were prepared by Lynn Hume from originals by Davina Ware and Vicky Patrick INtrOdUctION The excavation at The Beeches, carried out in the summer of 1999 in advance of residential development by Bryant Homes (South West) Limited, followed a staged programme of geophysical survey, desk-based study and trial excavation (Erskine 1995b and 1997). The site covers a former playing field on the outskirts of Cirencester, c. 1 km to the east of the city centre (Fig. 1), now Pheasant Way and North Home Way. The project was designed to record fully archaeological deposits previously located, centred at SP 037022, indicating a significant multi-period prehistoric site with episodes of occupation during the Middle Bronze-Age and Early Iron-Age periods and provided secure dating evidence for crop marks first investigated in the 1970s (Reece 1990). Evidence of three periods (six phases) of archaeological activity, from the prehistoric to the modern era, was identified. Four phases in Period I related to prehistoric activity. Throughout the site, the features had been truncated by subsequent ploughing and modern levelling (Fig. 2). The Prehistoric Activity: Period I Phase I.1: Mesolithic [c. 10000–4000 BC] A small, but significant assemblage of Mesolithic flints, including scrapers, retouched flakes, a bladelet and an obliquely blunted point, comprising c. 12% of the total flint assemblage (The Flints, below), was recovered, largely from Area A (Fig.

    7 HE C OTSWOLD MANOR HOUSE and its setting assumed iconic status in the late nineteenth and early T twentieth centuries. At its most potent, it became a symbol of Edwardian nationalism, of the enduring values of ‘Old’ English civilisation itself, and of the unquestioned legiti- macy of a benevolent gentry class whose values were rooted in the land. This ideal was fostered from the start by Country Life, which was founded in 1897, and the magazine occupies a central place as a pioneer interpreter and forceful advocate of the Cotswold house and its landscape. Country Life Inspired by the dominant critique of William Morris, who urged the revival of vernacular styles, Country Life did much to discover and popularise the Cotswolds and to raise its fine houses to cult status. The first issues of the magazine featured tectural record. early manor houses, such as Chavenage, Chastleton, Stanway, Owlpen, Burford Priory, Cold Ashton Manor, and Daneway, Cotswold landscape some of them houses little known at that time, which The Cotswolds have never been a political or administrative reflected the emphasis of Edwardian taste on the Arcadian territory.

    Parish Registers on Microfilm at The Hive Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology Service 2012 Introduction to the Parish Register Handlist The Hive holds parish registers for Worcestershire dating from the mid 16th century onwards. The church registers contain records of Baptisms, Marriages and Burials. These records are a major focus of study for family, local and social history, as they contain a wealth of information. As such, much of the information has been copied for ease of access and use. This handlist is a guide to what is currently available in our Self-service area. What Information does the Handlist provide? The name of the village. The Civil and Ancient parishes are often the same but there may have been changes over time. The name of the church from which the registers originated. This can be useful if there is more than one in a particular parish. For example, in Worcester City there are several parish churches. The name of the civil parish which now encompasses the ancient parish. Information on what register copies are available on microfilm. Dates of any transcriptions either in volumes or available on CD. Please see our handlist to parish register transcriptions and our list of CD holdings for further details The Notes column provides further information such as where parishes have been formed out of others. The registers we hold largely relate to Worcestershire, but as the diocese of Worcester has changed over the centuries we may hold registers from other counties too. Some parishes will return the result 'no information'. This usually means that we do not hold the registers for that parish.
