South Derbyshire Open Space, Sport and Community Facilities Strategy SOUTH DERBYSHIRE OPEN SPACE, SPORT AND COMMUNITY FACILITIES STRATEGY Final Draft: April 2016 Enquiries: 07989 351047 www.vagaassociates.com FOREWORD On behalf of South Derbyshire Sport and the District Council, we are delighted to introduce the Open Space, Sport and Community Facilities Strategy for South Derbyshire. This work focusses on three different types of provision that will help to make our District an attractive environment for local residents to be active, healthy and well connected with their local communities. It sets out a long term vision for open space networks; playing pitches; local community halls and sports facilities for our District. It is part of our response to the Government’s ‘Sporting Future: A New Strategy for an Active Nation’, published in December 2015. The implementation of the Strategy will enable better access to, and improve the quality and quantity of, the different types of sport and physical activity facilities. It also helps us prepare for the future, ensuring we have enough provision for current need, and a plan for future population growth. The Strategy also provides a robust evidence base to help plan for future provision. The document will provide supplementary research to inform the Local Plan, and as a basis for discussions with developers when new residential areas are being planned, to ensure that sports and physical activity facilities are adequately provided for. We are in challenging economic times and now, more than ever, we need a creative and strategic approach to getting the right resources to improve our facilities. Effective partnership working with Parish Councils; Sports Clubs; National Governing Bodies; Schools and community organisations, as well as adjacent authorities, is crucial to successful delivery of this Strategy. All partners have been involved in the production of this Strategy, and will continue to be engaged in its delivery. Our ambition is to improve opportunities for all of our residents to be physically active, and for the District to be an attractive place to take part in sport and outdoor pursuits. Adequate provision of good quality, accessible facilities is critical to achieving this ambition. Cllr Peter Smith Cllr Peter Watson Chair Chair of Environment and Development South Derbyshire Sport Services Committee South Derbyshire District Council 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Special thanks go to members of the Strategy Steering Group for their support and guidance, and to the Council Members and Officers; Parish Councils; Clubs; Schools, together with other stakeholders and residents who provided advice and information, or responded to consultation surveys and workshops that have informed the production of this Strategy.

Between 2012 and 2028, it is predicted that the population of the South Derbyshire District will increase by an estimated 36.4% (35,014) to 130,973 through natural growth and substantial new planned residential developments. The population is not only growing, it is also ageing, with a predicted increase of 13,823 residents aged 56+ by 2028 – a 52.4% increase. 33% of men and 45% of women in England are not active enough for good health. In South Derbyshire, 41% of adults do not meet the physical activity guidelines to achieve optimum health benefits. This inactivity costs the NHS an estimated £7.4b each year nationally, and £1.52m each year in South Derbyshire. Increasing activity levels is both a national and a local priority. It is therefore important to assess the sporting and recreational needs of the changing demographic base, and ensure there is an adequate supply of facilities to meet future demand. This Strategy sets out the vision and underpinning principles for open space, sport and community facilities in South Derbyshire, and identifies priorities for inclusion in the Action Plan relating to the three different strands: Built Sports/Community Facilities Playing Pitches Open Space Networks. This Strategy and related documents will also inform the production of the Local Plan and the Activity, Health and Sport Strategy for South Derbyshire. It will ensure there are sufficient facilities in terms of their: Quantity Quality Spatial distribution. APPROACH UNDERTAKEN Details of the approach used for producing the Strategy are included in Appendix 1. The process of producing the Strategy has built on existing studies, and has followed up to date national guidance. It has involved five phases: Scoping, to tailor the approach to fit South Derbyshire; establishment of a Strategy Steering Group to guide and support each phase and the drafting of a vision and guiding principles for testing and developing Desk research, to align the Strategy with the latest policy and research Stakeholder engagement and resident surveys, to inform and shape the Strategy 5 Analysis to interpret desk research; stakeholder and resident findings, and application of national planning tools models (as listed below) Consultation on draft policies and recommendations. The approach used for each of the three strands has been customised to take account of the process recommended in national guidance, the tools and models available for assessing supply and demand, and the availability of up to date information on local facilities. The three stands have been developed in the following ways: Community / built leisure facilities: o Analysis of the Community Voluntary Services (CVS) database of Village Community Halls and facilities for the District o Use of Sport England’s assessment tools: Active Places Power Plus; Facilities Planning Model Playing pitches: o Baseline audit of playing pitches undertaken in 2009, and updated in 2011 and 2015 o Update of Club Inventory o Use of Sport England’s Playing Pitch Framework and Assessment Tool Open Space Networks: o Comprehensive audit of open space completed in 2015 o Categorisation of open space, using Fields in Trust national guidelines o Influenced by the emerging County’s Greenways and Cycle Strategies. Assessments of supply and demand for the different strands have been undertaken across the District as a whole and within five Sub-Areas. NORTH WEST (18.6% of population) Wards: Etwall; Hatton; and Hilton NORTH (14.9% of population) Wards: Repton; Stenson; and Willington & Findern NORTH EAST (12.4% of population) Wards: Aston; and Melbourne CENTRAL (43.3% of population) Wards: Church Gresley; Midway; Newhall & Stanton; Swadlincote; and Woodville SOUTH (10.8% of population) Wards: Linton; and Seales 6 HOW THE STRATEGY WILL BE USED The work will be used to build up a portfolio of Built Facility; Playing Pitch; Open Space and Greenways Action Plans for the District and in Each Sub Area for: Informing Planning Policy and the Local Plan Engaging Parish and Town Councils, to identify the sport and recreation needs of their areas Influencing community use of school and other education sites (including proposed new developments) Identifying priority projects for funding resulting

As promised in the last volume of the Marriage Registers of Derbyshire, the marriage records of St. Alkmund's form the first instalment of the Registers of the County Town. The Editors do not doubt that these will prove especially interesting to Derbyshire people. In Volume V they hope to print further instalments of town registers in the shape of those of St. Michael's and also some village registers. It will be noticed that St. Alkmund's register begins at the earliest possible date, 1538, but of the remainder, two do not start till the seventeenth century and one, that of Quarndon, synchronizes with the passing of Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act. 1379092 It will be convenient to give here a list of the Derby- shire parishes of which the Registers have been printed in this series: Volume I.

  • Church Broughton Parish, Derbyshire
    Church Broughton Parish, Derbyshire: An oral history, 1900-1940 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Janet Arthur De Montfort University June 2019 Abstract This study is an oral history of a Derbyshire dairying parish during the first forty years of the twentieth century. The aim was to discover the nature and cohesion of society in a parish with no resident lord of the manor, the effects on the parish of changes in agricultural practice and the impact of government interventions on the lives of individuals. The lives of residents were affected by the history and layout of the parish, based on the geography and previous ownership. Having no resident lord of the manor generated a social structure with three layers: firstly, seven key people, outsiders who did not own land, secondly, networks of small landowners and artisans, who had lived there for generations, finally, labourers, many also families of long standing. Religion was important in supporting this social structure. Being an ‘open’ parish had enabled a chapel to be built and the provision of a school, though not all children attended this school. Through widespread ownership, there was a freedom to live and work without being beholden to neighbouring estates, as alternative employment could be found elsewhere for any surplus workers. Mechanisation improved farming practice, but, though government intervention during the First World War helped, the downturn afterwards and competition between farmers meant dairying was precarious, until the foundation of the Milk Marketing Board in 1933 to control production and price. The sale of the Duke of Devonshire’s farms in 1918 to the occupiers and the County Council removed the prestige that his tenants had enjoyed.
