  4. Welcome and Introductions • Ice Breaker • Your background and facility issues / challenges? • What are you looking to get out of the day?

  5. The Facility Planning and Development Process

  6. Why we are here...... • ‘Taking part in sport positively impacts the students experience, adds value to the academic qualification and directly impacts the employability of graduates’(Sports Industry Research Centre 2013) • One in five respondents to the Sport England Sport in Colleges survey said that the sporting opportunities offered by a College were influential in their decision to apply....

  7. Introduction and Context • 2013/14 Sport in Colleges key facts. • Colleges provide ‘fit for purpose’ facilities for an average of 13 sports per College • Colleges provide facilities for clubs, community use and public group – 88% sports halls, 91% AGPs accessible • 100 Colleges (30%) planning to develop new sports facilities • Sector makes significant contribution to community sport through facility provision – role to increase.............

  8. Introduction and Context • Key College driver is curriculum and student needs • Part of Estate master-planning process • BUT............... • Crucial Colleges connect with the community, central to the LEP agenda, Colleges at the heart • Key to success – positioning developments as part of wider sporting community • Critical to planning and funding

  9. Build it and they will come.......?!

  10. Underestimated Demand......?!

  11. Planning for Sport • Local Planning Authority (LPA) set the policy context • Local Plan in line with National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) • Developments assessed in line with policy and sports priorities: • Sports development strategy, sports facility strategy, playing pitch strategy • National Governing Body (NGB) priorities • Developing a shared vision

  12. Planning for Sport • Sport England crucial role – key consultee and advisor to LPA • Statutory consultee on all playing fields applications • 2012-17 Strategy – Creating a Sporting Habit for Life • Priority to increase participation in sport • Early consultation with Sport England regional planners • National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)

  13. Planning for Sport • NPPF paragraphs 73 and 74 – robust and up-to-date assessments of need • Two new Sport England methodologies to deliver: • Assessing Needs and Opportunities Guide (ANOG) • Playing Pitch Strategy methodology (PPS) • ‘How to do’ needs assessment for indoor and outdoor sport • Undertake ANOG / PPS to support strategy development, planning application,

  14. Planning for Sport • Sport England’s planning for sport principles: • Protect - Protect existing facilities • Enhance - Enhance the quality, accessibility and management of existing facilities • Provide - Provide new facilities to meet demand • Seek to deliver these principles through: • Forward Planning • Development Management • Strategy for meeting needs

  15. Planning for Sport • Principles of ANOG and PPS: • Develop aims, define scope, strategic context • Supply and demand analysis • Consultation • Needs assessment • Will guide Sport England and NGBs approach to strategic planning – strategies, priorities, applications, funding...... • Methodologies aimed at Local Authorities and planning led • But applicable to all including Colleges and SE will expect all to undertake ANOG / PPS to support planning policy, strategy development, planning applications, funding

  16. ANOG Principles • Aim to help local authorities meet paragraph 73 and 74 of the NPPF • Process applicable for other audiences e.g. Colleges, NGBs, clubs etc to help make the case for a single sport or facility type • Process document, which is equally applicable to a range of different sports and facilities at all geographical levels • Same process but proportionate to scale of analysis • Seeks to utilise the same terminology and approach as advocated in other relevant sports planning guidance most notably PPS • Not just ‘what to do’ in terms of developing a needs assessment for indoor and outdoor sport BUT also how to apply and implement the needs assessment work once it has been developed................

  17. ANOG Process • Stage 1 – Prepare and tailor your assessment • Stage 2 – Gather information on supply and demand • Stage 3 – Assessment, bring the information together

  18. Stage 1 – Prepare and Tailor the Approach • Purpose and Objectives • Proportionate • Sporting Scope (formal sports) – local determination • Geographical Scope • Strategic Context • Project Management

  19. Stage 2 – Gathering Information • Establish a full picture covering all elements of the supply of facilities in the area • Establish a clear understanding of the current and future demand • Consult on supply and demand

  20. Supply Principles • Relevant facility types across all sectors • Ownership of facilities should therefore be captured as part of the audit process • For all provision the audit should cover and capture information on quantity of provision, quality, access and availability • Any new facilities which are planned, along with any forthcoming closures or enhancements which are due to come on stream • The audit should capture information on provision neighbouring the study area and the relevant catchment area

  21. Supply Analysis • Quantity - what facilities there are in the area, how many you have? • Quality - how good they are? (condition and fit for purpose) • Accessibility - where they are located? • Availability - how available are they? • Relationship between all four elements critical

  22. Demand Drivers • Demographic Profile • Sports Participation Profile – national and local • Unmet, latent and future demand • Sports specific priorities • Local area priorities • Use national (Sport England) and local data – Local Sports Profile, Active People and Market Segmentation • Relationship between all drivers critical

  23. Stage 3 Assessment – Bringing the Information Together • Build a picture of the level of provision • Layering information to build up the picture • Drawing the assessment together from information gained in stage one and stage two combined • Utilising planning tools as appropriate to support the assessment • Considering consultation findings to support the assessment

  24. Stage 3 Assessment – Bringing the Information Together • Setting out the key facility issues and priorities • Concluding the assessment by demonstrating how findings clearly relate to all evidence gathered and will drive participation in sport • Developing policy priorities: provide, protect, enhance to deliver the identified priorities • Series of key Questions............

  25. Stage 3 – Key Questions • Quantity -What facilities there are in your area? How many do you have? Do you have enough? How much capacity is there? • Quality – Are the facilities ‘fit for purpose’ for the users? Do the facilities provide the level of play needed? Does the quality meet the user expectations?

  26. Stage 3 – Key Questions • Accessibility – Where are the facilities located? Are they in the right physical location for users? Are there any geographical gaps in the supply of facilities? • Availability – Are the facilities available to users who want to use them, when they want to use them? How are facilities being used?

  27. Examples

  28. Examples

  29. Key Findings and Prioritising Issues • Develop policies around protect, provide, enhance • Linked to what the evidence says....... • ‘Specific needs and opportunities for new provision’ (NPPF para 73) • May be facilities surplus to requirements (NPPF para 74) • NPPF compliant – specific facility needs (as opposed to standards) • Write-up and check and challenge – with partners? • Application...........

  30. Review and Monitoring • Update needs and evidence base on a regular basis – annual • Monitor and if / when supply and demand changes significantly – full review • 3-years as a rule of thumb

  31. ANOG Applications • Planning policy development • Development management • Infrastructure development plan/CIL • Sport and recreation facility strategy • Developing evidence for funding bids

  32. Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS) • PPS process • Sport England Playing Fields policy – Policy exceptions E1-E5 • Some common misconceptions............ • Any development on pitches must undertake a needs assessment in line with NPPF (PPS methodology) and provide a rigorous case in line with Playing Fields Policy

  33. PPS Process

  34. Playing Fields Policy • Sport England will oppose the granting of planning permission for any development which would lead to the loss of, or prejudice the use of all or part of any playing field, unless..... • E1 - An assessment of current and future needs has demonstrated that there is an excess of playing field provision in the catchment, and the site has no special significance to the interests of sport • E2 - The proposed development is ancillary to the principal use of the site as a playing field or playing fields, and does not affect the quantity or quality of pitches or adversely affect their use

  35. Playing Fields Policy • E3- The proposed development affects only land incapable of forming, or forming part of, a playing pitch, and does not result in the loss of or inability to make use of any playing pitch • E4 - Lost playing fields would be replaced by a playing field or playing fields of an equivalent or better quality and of equivalent or greater quantity, in a suitable location and subject to equivalent or better management arrangements, prior to the commencement of development • E5 - The proposed development is for an indoor or outdoor sports facility, the provision of which would be of sufficient benefit to the development of sport as to outweigh the detriment caused by the loss of the playing field or playing field.

  36. Common Misconceptions

  37. Development Considerations • Following the needs assessment subsequent facility must be ‘fit for purpose’ • Assessment of need = master-planning, design, space planning and technical specifications for specific sport • Sport England ‘Developing the Right..........’ • Sport England Sports Data Sheets

  38. Summary and Conclusions • Don’t develop in isolation – understand the wider context beyond curriculum and student needs • Early consultation with the LPA – planning policy and local sports policy context • Share your vision with NGBs and local partners – match your priorities to wider sports community ‘win win’ • Sport England views critical – will shape and influence the LPA, particularly pitches • Assessment of need in line with NPPF – ANOG / PPS

  39. Case Study (Worthing College)

  40. Case Study

  41. The Context • In 1997, the Principal and College Governors reached the position that the existing college estate was not fit for purpose and could not deliver the learning experience needed for 21st Century education. Their conclusion was that the College needed to rebuild. • Why? • A range of improvements had already been made and there were limited further improvements that could be made • The existing buildings were poor quality, timber framed with limited capacity for structural improvements

  42. The Timeline

  43. The Options Considered Following the 2009 collapse of the LSC capital programme a number of options were evaluated: • Base case – a “do nothing” option. • Complete re-build at Bolsover Road based on sale for residential and borrowing. • Refurbishment of Bolsover Road plus 4,000m² new build. • Same as above with cheaper new build. • Alternative site – Lloyds TSB building. • Alternative site – The Warren.

  44. Case Study Recommended Action: 1

  45. The Importance of Partners We established a strong coalition of partners that were fully behind and supportive of our project: • Local: Worthing RFC, Worthing Rebels FC (previous pitch hirers at old College), Worthing Golf Club, Worthing and District Netball Association and Angmering School Sports Partnership. • Regional: Chichester University, Sussex FA, Sussex Netball and Active Sussex. • National: AoC.

  46. Case Study Recommended Action: 2Sports Strategy Page: 5-8

  47. The Preferred Strategy • The college preference was for a new build on our existing site but this was unaffordable. From the other options on cost, affordability and a quantitative and qualitative ranking, the preferred option was The Warren site • Purchase of The Warren site will be funded by sale of Bolsover Road to a Private Sector Partner for housing development, sale of 3 acres of The Warren site for housing development and college borrowing • Developer to refurbish The Warren site for college use • The new college will open in Summer 2013 in time for the new academic year

  48. Assessing Needs and Opportunities(ANOG) • We established a comprehensive analysis of the supply of facilities in the area • We had a clear understanding of the current and future demand • We Consulted broadly with a wide stakeholder group about supply and demand

  49. Case Study Recommended Action: 3
