During December 2007 Bromsgrove District Council appointed PMP Consultants to undertake an open space, recreation and sport local needs assessment and playing pitch strategy across the district.
The open space study is undertaken in accordance with Planning Policy Guidance Note 17 (Planning for Open Space, Sport and Recreation, 2002) (PPG17) and its Companion Guide. The Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS) is undertaken in accordance with the methodology endorsed by Sport England and set out in the guidance document “Towards a Level Playing Field” (2002).
The assessment will form part of the evidence base for the Local Development Framework (LDF), in particular supporting the policies of the Core Strategy and other Development Plan Documents (DPD).
