18.Where can I find out if my Local Authority has a published Playing Pitch Strategy or relevant Local Needs Assessment?

Your local authority leisure and/or planning departments should be able to tell you whether they have an adopted Playing Pitch Strategy or other relevant form of Local Needs Assessment in place.

Local authorities who do not have a Playing Pitch Strategy or the one they have is old and out of date (more than 3 years old) are encouraged to develop or review and refresh their PPS using the Framework Agreement procured by Sport England.

Sport England also maintains a list which represents known knowledge of the coverage of Playing Pitch Strategies across the county. The list can be viewed via our website at:
