Playing Pitch Strategy
Northamptonshire Sport (NSport) commissioned PMP Consultancy to produce a County wide playing pitch strategy in April 2002. The Strategy has been developed in accordance with the methodology developed by Sport England in conjunction with the National Playing Fields Association (NPFA) and the Central Council for Physical Recreation (CCPR).
The strategy will assist NSport plan for the future development of playing pitches through highlighting major areas of deficiency, problems and areas of opportunity. It contains an analysis of the current picture, summarises the research process and the playing pitch methodology (PPM), identifies key issues and recommends priorities for future development.
The aim of the Playing Pitch Methodology is to determine the number of pitches required for each activity based on demand. The methodology used for this strategy is related precisely to the local situation. The strategy focuses on pitch provision for football, rugby union, hockey and cricket.
