Sports Infrastructure

Participation in sport and physical activity adds over £39bn to the UK economy each year and half of this comes from individuals’ involvement in grassroots sport. The education sector is a key provider of sports facilities in England, with almost 40% of all sports facilities located on school, college or university properties. 61% of all synthetic grass pitches in the UK can be found within educational sites. 

With good forward planning, a new sports facility can become a valuable asset with far reaching benefits within the community and open up new revenue streams. 

Following the Government's National Planning Policy Framework and inline with Sport England's strategy to maximise sporting and physical activity opportunities, we will play a central role in the preparation, submission and implementation of planning applications for development.

This process will also include working with local authority officers and councillors, planning inspectors, developers and consultants through to neighbourhood forums, public health leads, community groups, sports clubs and organisations.

With significant financial resources, combined with the experience and expertise to assemble land, secure planning and build the infrastructure required, we are at the forefront of facilitating the much-needed access, improvement and enhancement of sporting and leisure facilities in the UK.
