To consider the proposed Playing Pitch Strategy for Spelthorne

 

Additional documents:

Minutes:

Cabinet considered a report proposing adoption of a Borough Playing Pitch Strategy for 2020 – 2035.  The strategy contained an assessment of all outdoor sports playing pitch provision in the borough by all providers.  It offered recommendations of actions to be taken to ensure a good supply of high quality pitches until 2035. 

 

Options considered and rejected:

Not to approve the Strategy.

 

Resolved to adopt the 2020-2035 Borough Playing Pitch Strategy for implementation.

 

Reasons for decision:

The Strategy provides a robust evidence base that will allow the Borough to plan, prioritise and schedule future outdoor sports pitch projects. It will help guide investment and provide the essential information required to apply for external funding. It is also an important part of the evidence required to inform the new Local Plan 2020-2035 and assist the Planning Development Managerment Team when making planning application decisions.
