1. Introduction & Executive Summary

As part of the evidence base for the Local Development Framework (LDF) an audit of all open space, sport and recreation facilities within the District has been undertaken. The requirement to undertake this audit is set out in Government policy in the form of ‘Planning Policy Guidance Note 17 – Planning for open space, sport and recreation' (PPG17). The rationale for undertaking such an audit is that it will enable local authorities to:

Identify specific needs and quantitative or qualitative deficits or surpluses of open space, sports and recreational facilities in the areas. They form the starting point for establishing an effective strategy for open space, sport and recreation at the local level (tied into the local authority's Community Strategy), and for effective planning through the development of appropriate policies in plans (PPG17 paragraph 4).

Therefore this research will be used to compile the Open Spaces Strategy which in turn, will help to inform the LDF Core Strategy by determining how much open space is adequate for the future population, where improvements are needed in open space provision and where other development may be possible. Thus it will also inform future Council strategies such as the Area Action Plans to ensure provision and help to inform the determination of planning applications.

The audit focuses on the quantitative and qualitative assessment of individual sites and would benefit from further study through consultation with the general public in order to gain an understanding of local attitudes to current provision.

The methodology for undertaking this study was based on Government guidance Assessing Needs and Opportunities: A companion guide to PPG17. The areas of open space considered for the audit were identified with regard to the typology contained within PPG17. However, the guidance does not hold a formal definition of sport and recreational facilities, as such the Council has considered schools and educational facilities with public access and halls for hire for this element of the study.

Due to the rural nature of the District, huge areas of open access and common land were excluded from the audit due to the fact these areas largely fall within Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and would benefit from the protection of this national policy designation. However, they are plotted on a map to indicate their availability and accessibility.

Penwith District Council 1 Draft Open Spaces Audit

2. Purpose of the study

This audit of open space, sport and recreation facilities has primarily been undertaken to inform the preparation of an Open Spaces Strategy, which in itself would have formed part of Penwith District Council's Local Development Framework. It is envisaged that the Audit will now be used to inform a countrywide Open Spaces Strategy.

This study will help to inform the Council's strategic approach for the provision for open space, sport and recreation facilities. In particular it will inform as to whether there is sufficient supply of these types of facility with regard to the quantity and quality of existing provision. As such this study will inform standards for open space, sport and recreation facilities that would be required in connection with new development.

This study will also have the benefit of informing the Council's overall strategy for the provision of open space, sport and recreation facilities.

3. Methodology

3.1 Definition of Open Space

All land use (apart from agricultural land across which there are no public rights of way) that is predominantly undeveloped other than by buildings or structures that are ancillary to the open space use. This definition covers the broad range of open space types within Penwith, whether in public or private ownership which allows for unrestricted or partially restricted public access.

Public Open Space is defined as public parks, commons, heaths, woodlands, beaches and other open spaces with established and unrestricted public access and capable of being classified according to the open space hierarchy which meets recreational and non-recreational needs. For the purposes of this Audit the definition also includes both indoor and outdoor sports facilities, community halls and village halls.

Private Open Space is defined as open space to which public access is restricted or not formally established but which contributes to local amenity of wildlife habitat or meets, or is capable of meeting, recreational and non-recreational needs (including school and private playing fields). The definition does not include private residential gardens nor incidental areas, such as road verges or streets, unless these form part of a link in the open space network. The definition also includes Open Areas Related to Settlement (a specific designation identified in the Local Plan). These areas are important in terms of their close relationship with towns and villages. Such areas within a settlement (which are not necessarily dependent on public access) make a valuable contribution to the wider environmental value of their locality by providing an open aspect in otherwise built up surroundings, they are often also important in terms of providing valuable habitats for wildlife.

Open Space in Penwith is not the sole responsibility of the District Council. There are extensive areas of open space on land owned or managed by a wide range of organisations including Parish and Town Councils, Cornwall Wildlife Trust, The National Trust, Housing Associations, community groups, etc. An affective open spaces strategy will involve working in partnership with other organisations to ensure a joined up, efficient, and cost effective approach to management and provision of open space.


Having regard to the advice in PPG17 the study has undertaken a quantitative and qualitative assessment of sport, recreation and open space facilities within the Penwith District.

The types of open space that the study sought to assess were based on the following definition and typology of open space contained within PPG17.

Table of Typologies

Typology Break-down of typology

Parks & gardens Accessible, high quality opportunities for informal recreation and community events.

Natural and semi-natural greenspace Wildlife conservation, biodiversity and environmental education and awareness.

Green corridors Walking cycling or horse riding, whether for leisure purposes or travel and opportunities for wildlife migration.

Outdoor sports facilities Participation in outdoor sports such as pitch sports, tennis, bowls, golf, athletics or countryside / watersports.

Indoor sports facilities Participation in indoor sports such as swimming, gymnastics, dance etc

Village halls and community centres Important for helping promote sustainable communities.

Amenity greenspace Opportunities for informal activities close to home or work, or enhancement of the appearance of residential or other areas. Includes greenspaces in and around housing and village greens.

Provision for children and young people Provision for children and teenagers – including play areas, skateboard parks, outdoor basketball hoops, and other more informal areas such as teenage shelters.

Allotments and community farms Opportunities for people who wish to grow their own produce as part of the long-term promotion of sustainability, health and social inclusion.

Cemeteries and churchyards and other burial grounds

Quiet contemplation and burial of the dead, often linked to the promotion of wildlife conservation and biodiversity.

Civic and market squares and other hard surfaced areas designed for pedestrians

Provision of a setting for civic buildings, public demonstrations and community events.

Beaches and coastal paths Beaches provide an important recreational / leisure resource for both the local community and visitors to the district.


Typology Break-down of typology

Open Areas Related to Settlement

(Protected under Policy TV-2 in Penwith Local plan 2004)

This is a specific local designation. It relates to areas which are important in terms of their close relationship with towns and villages. These areas may be within a settlement and make a valuable contribution to the wider environmental value of their locality by providing an open aspect and offering tranquillity. Open Areas Related to Settlements are not necessarily dependent on public access, it is their visual and environmental contribution to the overall scene which makes them so valuable. They frequently provide important habitats for wildlife and therefore may have a high biodiversity value.

For the purpose of understanding the current provision and determining the future provision of open spaces, sports and recreation facilities within Penwith, the towns and villages were plotted on a map shown in Appendix 1. Settlements were colour coded according to their size and level of services. The main town of Penzance to include Newlyn, Gulval (Trevarrack), Heamoor and Longrock; St Ives grouped with Carbis Bay; and Hayle with Phillack. As part of the Core Strategy – Issues and Options public consultation it was agreed that a sustainable village must have a shop, bus route and a post office with good access to a primary school, village hall and a pub.

The smaller towns and larger villages identified on the map either have, or have good access to, all these facilities. The small towns are St Just and Marazion. The larger villages include Pendeen, Goldsithney, Connor Downs, St Erth, Madron, Crowlas, Ludgvan (Lower Quarter), St Buryan, Sennen and Mousehole.

The smaller villages were identified as having low levels of services or none at all. The smaller villages are Lelant, Wall / Reawla, Carnhell Green, Paul, Rosudgeon, Nancledra, Trewellard, St Levan and Porthcurno.

Rural villages are deemed unsustainable in terms of further housing development due to their lack of facilities. The rural villages include Angarrack, Canonstown, Perran Downs, Perranuthnoe, Gwithian, Gwinear, Newbridge, Relubbus, Halsetown, Lamorna, Treen and the Churchtowns of Gulval, St Hilary, Ludgvan, Sancreed and Zennor.


3.2 Accessibility Thresholds

PPG17 advises on identifying accessibility thresholds for different forms of provision to identify those areas not currently served by existing open spaces or sport or recreation facilities.

The thresholds are based on how strategic an area of open space is in targeting different sizes of population or whether provision of certain open spaces should be more local in comparison to others. The Council aims to ensure the provision of facilities at schools, built sports facilities and halls for hire are available for local communities within the District rather than for people within a defined distance.

Maps showing the accessibility thresholds of the following typologies can be found in Appendix 2. The thresholds were applied as follows;

Type of open space Accessibility threshold Reason

Allotments 800m (15 mins walking) People are expected to drive to allotments but 800m is considered a reasonable walking distance.

Cemeteries / churchyards 800m (15 mins walking) Integral to towns & rural villages.

Children's play areas LAPs 100m (1 min walking)

LEAPs 400m (5 mins)

NEAPs 800m (15 mins)

Similar to the NPFA standard.

Natural & semi-natural greenspace

Size > 20 ha= 5000m

Size < 20ha = 2000m

Based on English Nature recommendations. Reflects the more strategic role that large open spaces perform.

Outdoor sports facilities 800m (15 mins walking) Reflects a reasonable walking distance to a public pitch available both formally and informally.

Parks and gardens 800m (15 mins walking) Considered a reasonable walking distance.

Beaches

Amenity greenspace

Civic space

Green corridors

None

Found where appropriate




School facilities

Built sports facilities

Halls for hire

No fixed thresholds but aim is to ensure provision is available for discrete local communities within the District.

Bearing in mind that a high proportion (approximately half) of the population in Penwith live in rural and isolated hamlets it could be expected that the majority of journeys are in reality conducted using some form of transport. The accessibility thresholds are therefore more relevant within the urbanised areas of the District.


3.3 Qualitative Assessment

In order to make a judgement on the quality of the sites identified, a set of generic questions were applied to each site. A further set of more specific questions were applied to certain typologies if further information was required for a particular type of open space. This included the allotments, children’s play areas, outdoor sports facilities, natural and semi natural greenspaces and the parks and gardens. Each site was visited and explored prior to the completion of the audit form(s).

The audit examined each site in terms of its' structural role, amenity value, cultural/ community role, accessibility, community safety, condition, informational / educational role, design, community facilities, recreational role, conservation / biodiversity value and heritage value to thoroughly assess each site. To determine the value of a site the mean percentage was calculated of the scores given to the structural role, amenity value, cultural / community value and the accessibility value. The quality of each site was established using the mean score of the values awarded for community safety, condition and design. The audit forms can be viewed in Appendix 3.

Schools, built sports facilities and halls had their own assessment form which was completed by a telephone interview and a site visit to establish a visual assessment.

Beaches were assessed in terms of their facilities and accessibility using The Penwith District Beach Clean-up Guidelines: Emergency Planning, 2002. They were plotted using mean MHW and MLW Ordnance Survey data on the GIS to estimate their size.

Other facilities such as indoor bowling clubs, snooker halls, horse riding / trekking centres, sailing clubs and gig clubs were plotted on the GIS but not formally audited.

3.4 Quantitative Assessment

An initial data gathering exercise was undertaken to identify and map areas of open space publicly accessible within the District by contacting the Parish and Town Councils along with local housing associations. This feedback along with data already held at the council resulted in approximately 350 open spaces being audited to determine their current standard and potential to be improved. Each area was categorised according to its’ primary typology and plotted on the ArcView GIS mapping computer. Where a site had different uses i.e. a secondary or even a third typology these were also plotted but as a different layer or ‘theme’ on the GIS.

Data collected relating to each site such as information describing the entrances, the presence of CCTV and site photographs are linked to the polygons on the GIS for each location along with the audit scores to create a comprehensive information database for every audited open space within the District.

The full list of sites included within the audit are attached in Appendix 4. A summary of the quantity of each typology of open space is given numerically and as a total in hectares.


4. Findings of the study

Set out below is a summary of the findings of the study in terms of the quantitative and qualitative assessments.

4.1 Application of accessibility thresholds

Allotments

The application of an 800m walking threshold shows that allotment provision is uneven across the District. The majority of the sites being concentrated within the main town of Penzance (11 in total), with 3 in Marazion and 2 in Madron. Despite the excellent provision for allotments within these areas, long waiting lists for plots exist.

Children’s play areas

A hierarchy of thresholds were applied to play sites depending on the type of equipment and the age group of children they were designed to attract. This was to give a better understanding of the value and provision of equipped play sites within the District. The categories were adapted by the Penwith Play Partnership from the National Playing Fields Association (NPFA) '6 acre standard' which recommends the provision of 3 types of play areas;

LAPs Local Area for PlayLEAPs Local Equipped Area for PlayNEAPs Neighbouring Equipped Area for Play

Standards are set out according to walking distance and the time it takes from home to get to the play area, and the type of equipment provided. However, their definitions were adapted to suit the District and a full description can be found in Appendix 5. The NPFA standards includes informal and unequipped areas of play, which in terms of the audit would be classified as amenity spaces and therefore are not included in the threshold map.

The threshold map indicates 6 play areas considered to be NEAPs with 3 in Penzance, and 1 each in St Ives, Hayle and St Just. NEAPs are the larger, well equipped play areas designed to attract children of all age groups within a 15 minute walking distance / within an 800m threshold.

The 400m threshold was applied to LEAPs and shows the majority of towns and large villages have at least one play area of this category. The exceptions being Mousehole, Gulval (Trevarrack) and Crowlas, although parts of Crowlas are within walking distance to the site at Ludgvan.

The small and rural villages are less well served with play sites only in St Levan, Sancreed, Canonstown, Reawla and Rosudgeon.

LAPs are found within the urbanised centres of the District often where newly built housing developments exist.

The threshold map clearly demonstrates large gaps in provision in all three of the main urban centres. Play provision is fully explored in the Penwith Play Strategy 2007 which


includes provision in relation to Lower Super Output Areas and has identified areas of need and priorities through extensive public consultation.

Parks and Gardens

The application of an 800m walking threshold shows that the majority of parks and gardens can be partially accessed from within the main towns especially the public gardens such as Morrab Gardens, Penlee Park, St Anthony’s Gardens and Penrose Gardens in Penzance, Trewyn, in St Ives, Chy an Gweal in Carbis Bay and Isis Gardens and Millpond Gardens in Hayle. The majority of the other gardens are privately owned and are different in that an entrance fee is required and are often situated in locations that require transport to visit them.

Outdoor Sports Facilities

The application of an 800m walking distance threshold shows that the main towns are well served with a variety of sports provision within an accessible distance. The large villages have at least one accessible facility including golf courses with the exception of Connor Downs and Mousehole. The latter lacking provision due to its' geographical restrictions has long adopted the neighbouring village of Paul to site its sports provision.

Natural and Semi-natural open space including accessible countryside

The thresholds were applied only to open spaces in this category that were included in the audit. In reality, far more exist in the form of Registered Common Land and Open Countryside. These areas are typically found along the north and west coastline and moorland areas. These are shown on an accompanying map. The abundance of these areas suggests that all areas in the District are in good proximity to at least one natural or semi-natural open space or area of open countryside.

Cemeteries and Churchyards

Integral to most rural towns and villages, churchyards were included if they were larger than 0.1ha. The audit focused on the 'closed' or older areas of cemeteries with the exception of Longstone Cemetery which was included due to its annual participation into the Britain in Bloom awards and due to its accolade 'Cemetery of the Year 2005'.

An 800m threshold illustrates that the majority of towns and large villages have access to a churchyard or cemetery although there are gaps in provision. This may reflect that some were too small to be recreationally significant and also the trend to convert disused places of worship into dwellings.

Beaches

A threshold was not applied as it was thought that the majority of beaches were accessed by car or other form of transport.

Other open space, sport and recreation

In terms of the distribution of the remaining open space, sport and recreation facilities thresholds have not been fixed. Instead the Council aims to provide facilities for discrete


communities within the District such as villages.

4.2 Main findings of the quantitative assessment of identified sites and facilities

The approximate quantity of facilities is outlined below. The total area of spaces audited was found to be in the region of 1135.93ha, however, this excludes many areas of common land and open country within Penwith to make the audit manageable in size. (Hence the limited number of natural & semi-natural open spaces included as these would fall within the protection of the AONB and Heritage Coast designations).

The quantity of each type of open space audited is as follows;

20 allotments with a total area of 9.49 ha. 40 children's equipped play areas (including play sites and their accompanying playing

fields if not primarily a sports facility), skateboard parks and play equipment within housing developments, totalling 15.94 ha.

19 parks and gardens totalling 43.89 ha. 57 outdoor sports facilities including golf courses, bowling greens, tennis courts and

sports grounds, (either publicly or privately owned) with a total of 192.69 ha. (Including 11 schools with outdoor sports facilities). In addition there are 6 horse riding / trekking centres within the District which are not included in the total.

31 areas of natural and semi natural open spaces totalling 455.83 ha. Not including a further 3,475.79 ha of Registered Common Land & Open Access Countryside.

34 cemeteries and churchyards totalling 25.21ha. 33 beaches with a total 369.39ha (calculated using mean HWM and LWM) 88 areas of amenity greenspace totalling 22.99 ha (informal recreation or visual

amenity spaces in and around housing). 5 green corridors (includes 3 strips of urban greenspace, a riverbank and coast path) 3 civic spaces with a total area of 1.1 ha (including market squares and hard surfaced

areas designed for pedestrians). 15 schools with facilities available to the public (11 outdoor sports facilities, 7 indoor

sports facilities and 9 school halls). 2 built sports facilities (excluding 7 dual use sports facilities linked to schools) and 3

private gyms. 46 halls that are available to hire (excluding 7 school halls). 44 Open Areas Related to Settlements - Policy TV-2 (plotted not audited). South West Coast Path and National Cycle Network (plotted not audited).

Allotments

The audit has recorded that there are a total of 20 allotment sites accommodating a total number of 320 plots, covering a total area of 9.49ha, the majority located within Penzance, Ludgvan, Madron & Marazion. Possibly, traditionally located around the shelter of Mounts Bay where soils and aspect were favoured. The 2 exceptions being within St Ives and Gwithian.

Outdoor Sports

Outdoor sports covers an area just over 190ha including schools permitting access to their outdoor provision. Golf courses including pitch and putt make up 110.22 ha of this total.


57 outdoor sports facilities are tabulated and quantified below as an indication of the quantity of land for each sports provision, and to quantify Penwith's provision in terms of NPFA standards (excluding golf courses). Land reserved for outdoor sports provision adjacent to the St Ives Rugby Club in the Penwith Local Plan (Proposal R-B) is included in the total, contributing to an additional 2.4ha. However, this land was not audited as it remains undeveloped and has no public access.

Sport Provision District total (Ha)

Bowling Greens (inc. putting green) 1.42

Cricket 17.08

Football (including combined facilities) 26.95

Rugby 13.42

Hockey 1.38

Tennis 1.4

Outdoor Pools 0.97

Secondary Schools 17.73

Primary Schools 2.12

Proposal R-B land reserved for outdoor sports adj. to RFC ground in St Ives

2.4

TOTAL (ha) 84.87

The audit has revealed the loss of two privately owned sports fields within Longrock and at Porthcurno - a total loss of 5.22ha to the District.Should Hayle Community College permit access to its outdoor provision a further 4.6ha would be gained in outdoor sports provision.

Children's Play Areas

There are 40 equipped children's play areas within the District including those within a differing primary typology. For example, Penlee Park has a play area within in it which was measured and included in the total. Play sites with adjacent kick about areas with or without football posts are also included as long as they did not fall within another primary typology. Fields with football posts within housing areas and informal areas of play were audited as amenity spaces if there was no other equipment. The total area of equipped play space was 15.34 ha.

Parks and Gardens

There are a total of 19 parks and gardens covering an area of 43.89ha, 13 of which are public parks and gardens, requiring no entrance fee.

Amenity Greenspace

The audit identified 88 separate areas that were considered to represent amenity greenspace amounting to 22.99 ha. Areas included residential greenspace in and around housing including former play areas that have had their equipment removed (due to failing health and safety regulations), areas of formal planting, village greens, amenity areas around ponds, community gardens and hard surfaced areas with or without planting.


Natural and Semi-natural Greenspace

31 natural and semi-natural sites were audited covering an area of 455.83 ha, by far the largest type of open space within the District with a further 3475.79ha not audited. The District has a diverse range of different character areas from woodlands, marshlands, moorland heath, dunal habitats and fresh and estuarine open water. 46% of the District falls within the designation of Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), with 19 Special Sites of Scientific Interest (SSSIs), 4 Ancient Woodlands, 5 Local Nature Reserves (LNR), 32 County Wildlife Sites (CWS), 15 County Geological Sites (CGS), 8 Cornwall Wildlife Trust Reserves, a Woodland Trust site and numerous National Trust managed sites. Penwith comprises of 1700ha of lowland heath; 25% of Cornwall's contribution of this important habitat.

Sites of natural and semi-natural green space that occurred near or within settlements were prioritised in terms of the audit being recognised for their importance in terms of their spatial role. Many of these fell outside of any local or national designation.

Cemeteries and Churchyards

34 sites were included covering a total area of 25.21ha with the largest at St Clare, Penzance, covering an area of 3.7ha.

Civic Spaces

There are 3 sites in the District that were considered to represent a civic space. These were 2 town centre market areas and Penzance Promenade covering an area just over 1ha.

Green Corridors

3 of the green corridors represent fingers of urban green space important for wildlife migration and biodiversity. Another is part of a riverbank along the River Hayle and also, the newly enhanced section of the South West Coast Path linking Marazion to Penzance was also included being an important section of The Cornish Way – part of the National Cycle Network and South West Coast Path.

Halls for hire

There are 47 halls for hire within Penwith including church halls, village halls, community centres and W.I.s (excluding school halls).

Schools with facilities available to the public

There are a total of 38 schools within the District including 3 independent and 1 college. Only 3 primary schools permitted access to their outdoor provision, 3 permitted access to their school halls and a further 3 schools permitted access to both their fields and their halls. There are 6 secondary schools, including Bolitho School and Penwith College permitting public access to their facilities. They represent dual-use sports centres of varying importance to the communities they serve as part of the Penwith Schools Sports Partnership. At the time of the audit, Hayle Community College was the only secondary school to deny public access to its facilities despite having a fitness suite and 4.6ha of outdoor provision.


Beaches

Penwith has a variety of quality beaches ranging from the large bays to the small rocky coves, noted for their crystal clean water and natural beauty. 33 beaches were included totalling an estimated 369.39ha, calculated using the mean HWM and mean LWM plotted Ordnance Survey tide lines. 5 of Penwith’s best beaches in terms of accessibility, excellent facilities and cleanliness are of blue flag status.

Indoor Sports Facilities

Penwith has two high quality leisure centres, in Penzance (opened 2005) and in St Ives (opened 2001). Both with 25m indoor pools with 10m learner pools, both have fully equipped fitness gyms, dance studios, a function room and a cafe. There is also a multi- purpose sports hall accommodating 6 badminton courts, 5 aside football, netball and table tennis within Penzance Leisure Centre. Both have excellent facilities in terms of disabled provision including automatic doors, lifts and adapted fitness equipment. It must be noted that St Ives Leisure Centre does not have a sports hall. The Hayle area lacks a purpose built sports centre of any kind and facilities integral to sports clubs tend to be used as an alternative.There is 1 privately owned health suite within Penzance and 2 in Newlyn. A further two private facilities have recently closed; Liberties, in St Ives and Pilcher’s Gym in Penzance.

Halls for hire

47 halls for hire exist within Penwith including church halls, village halls, community centres and W.I.s The majority were of medium to high value and quality. The majority had upgraded their facilities to include well-equipped kitchens, disabled toilets and had made improvements to their access with ramps and handrails. Some had stages with sound and lighting facilities. Only 5% had experienced some form of minor vandalism. Some notably lacked basic exterior signage and contact details.9 out of 47 recognised the need to improve their facilities from minor internal and external decoration to structural repairs such as roof replacement. Two of the village halls were hoping to be totally rebuilt in Longrock and Sancreed.

Summary Table to Indicate Halls Requiring ImprovementsName of Hall Work Required

Longrock Village Hall 1940's hut to be replaced in Section 106 Agreement with development proposal on adjacent site.

Sancreed Village Hall Village currently applying for grants & committed to fund-raising to finance hall replacement. Very poor access and rusting corrugated roof.

Wall Hall Windows broken and some boarded up. Not welcoming. Undervalued & under used facility requiring renovation and promotion as village asset.

St Erth Church Hall Needs a new roof, disabled toilets and storage space.

Pendeen Church Hall Needs a new heating system.

The Guidhall, St Ives Needs a new roof.

St John's Hall, Penzance Poor kitchen and toilet facilities. Disabled access limited to rear of building. Would benefit from complete refurbishment to include showers and dressing rooms. Broken window panes need replacing.

Hayle Community Centre Internal decoration and extension required to accommodate indoor sports.

Phillack Needs exterior decoration.


Provision of open space in relation to the Council's current standards

Policy R-2 and Policy H-18 of the Penwith Local Plan places emphasis on the provision of children's play space in any housing development where there are likely to be children. The National Playing Field Association (NPFA) standards require a minimum of 2.4ha of outdoor playing space to be provided per 1000 population. Of this 2.43ha, 1.62ha is made up of space for outdoor sport and 0.81ha for children's play space (including unequipped).

The following table demonstrates that if this standard is applied to Penwith's current (estimated 2006) population of 64,400 (source: nomis) there is a shortfall in current provision.

*Unequipped land includes informal playspace/ amenity areas & Policy R-2 land reserved for play

It should be noted that 2 out of 3 sites reserved for play space under Policy R-C were deemed completely unsuitable in their current condition due to a series of reasons such as waterlogging, access problems and to dense vegetation limiting the safety of the areas. This applies to Council owned land at Newlyn Coombe (0.7ha) and parcels of land along Love Lane (1.4ha). Part of this latter site is being managed by Penwith Environmental Network (PEN) to create a community meadow and has been audited as a semi natural greenspace. Love Lane playing field at the top end of the lane has been partially planted out with beech saplings due to the site being so waterlogged. Both sites at Newlyn and Love Lane may be more suitable for allotments rather than reserved for play provision.

The Alverton playing field is currently being targeted for further housing development. It is not clear at this stage how much of the PHA owned, 0.54ha site will be developed.

Penwith Play Strategy 2007 and Big Lottery Portfolio

Due to the success of the Penwith Play Strategy 2007, a grant of £220,000 from the Big Lottery has been awarded to enhance play provision within Penwith. From this fund improvements to the existing play sites at Sennen, St Levan, St Buryan, Ludgvan and Kenneggy and Rosudgeon have been secured. Improvements to amenity areas include a teen shelter at Ellis Park and new gates and access improvements into Ayr Field.

A new natural play area at Paul has been agreed and should commence May 2008. Two further high value, natural play sites have been agreed subject to their management and maintenance being taken on by the relevant community groups. These will be at St Buryan adjacent to the existing play site and the other within the curtilage of Marazion School. Other schemes benefitting from the lottery award include youth groups and clubs, a circus skills workshop and a 'Swap Shop' play project. Further information on the Play Partnership Projects can be obtained from the Community Regeneration Team.

5. Analysis of the findings

The results of the quantitative and qualitative assessments are analysed in this chapter, to put forward recommendations for each of the typologies audited. To determine the value of a site the mean percentage was calculated of the scores given to the structural role, amenity value, accessibility value and the cultural/community value. The quality of each site was established by calculating the mean percentage score of the values awarded for community safety, condition and design.

The results show that the majority of sites are at least of medium quality and value. Given the importance of open space provision any site that is at least of medium quality and value will be worth retaining. Where a site is of low, or very low, quality or value then, either its improvement or possible use as an alternative type of open space should be considered before alternative uses.

It must be noted that due to the rural nature of the District sites often have lower 'value' scores compared to more urban sites. This was because the questions related to the role of the site in relation to the built environment, which would therefore be less relevant in rural areas. For this reason many of the rural sites have low value scores compared to their more urban counterparts.

It is worth noting that every three years Penwith, along with every other council in the country, undertakes a general satisfaction survey (Best Value Performance Indicators) of its residents prescribed by the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG). The most recent survey in late 2006 showed that 83% of residents were satisfied with the parks and open spaces provided by Penwith District Council. This excellent result not only puts this council as the best in Cornwall but within the top 10% in the country overall. 75% of residents were satisfied with the sports and leisure facilities provided by the council - a meteoric increase of 42% since 2000 when only 4 other councils in the country achieved a lower level of satisfaction than Penwith's 33%.

Allotments

The audit has shown that there is a high demand for allotments with long waiting lists for the majority of the sites. This is especially true for allotments within Penzance, Heamoor, Madron and Mousehole. The total number of plots within the District was found to be 320. In total there were 235 people on the waiting lists for existing sites which would imply a minimum of 7.34ha of allotment space is required to accommodate the existing shortfall. However, further management of the neglected plots would free up some space for those on the list reducing the need to allocate further land. Despite schemes in place to encourage good house-keeping, such as prizes for the best kept plots, it was found that due to various reasons some plots become neglected and overgrown. Further discussion with the relevant management groups would be necessary to determine future provision of allotment space in those areas already with allotment provision. The audit has identified one very low scoring site at Rosehill allotments, Marazion, where only 1 of the 7 plots were cultivated. This was also one of the few without a waiting list - and therefore could be promoted within Marazion itself or could potentially be offered to those on a waiting list elsewhere. All sites were found to be managed by Parish Councils with the exception of part of the site at Lescudjack and Parc Abnac, Madron (PDC) and Heamoor (Heamoor British Legion).

It was found that outside of these areas, notably the towns of St Ives, Hayle and St Just


there is no or very little allotment provision (with the exception of 5 plots in St Ives). Allotment Groups have been formed and have approached their Town Councils in all three of these towns. St Ives Town Council have 15 people on their list. A recent attempt to designate a new plot along Beach Road failed due to an overwhelming negative response outlining issues concerning the fear of rats, increase of traffic and the potential unsightliness of the area. St Ives Town Council are now looking for an alternative site.In Hayle the Town Council is in negotiation to lease some Church Glebe land in Phillack and are trying to raise a total of £15k to fund an access road to the site. They have formed a web page to attract more people to join the Allotment Society, to show possible funding organisations that this is a worthwhile project.

In St Just, a local Councillor, is actively investigating the possibility of leasing some private land to allocate as an allotment site. Three potential sites have been identified which are deemed suitable in terms of their aspect and availability of a water supply, however, they may require footpaths to be relocated. A total of 19 residents from St Just and 6 from Pendeen have expressed an interest so far.

St Erth Parish Council have ear-marked a site adjacent to the newly installed play area at Vicarage Gate, however, this too requires an access road. A further site to mention is that at Cheshire Homes, Long Rock which has been designed for the disabled with raised beds and wheelchair access to planting areas with an emphasis on organic gardening using sustainable methods. Unfortunately, due to management problems, the allotment was not up and running at the time of the audit.

Six Penwith residents rent plots within Kerrier at an allotment site in Leedstown.

The audit has shown an active community interest to generate further allotment provision within the District and has highlighted the problems of sourcing and allocating suitable land.

Parks and Gardens

All 19 of the parks and gardens were found to be from medium to very high quality, with 3 of them being recognised under the policy designation of ‘Historic Parks and Gardens’. 7 were privately owned, 6 of which required an entrance fee so are used recreationally as a ‘day out’ and as popular tourist destinations rather than on a more casual and frequent nature which would apply to the others. Of these public parks, 4 were in Penzance, 4 in St Ives & Carbis Bay and 2 were in Hayle. 1 in Newyln, Marazion & Madron. It can be said that all of these public parks scored very well in the audit.

Natural and Semi-natural Greenspaces

There is a significant amount of open space within the District that falls under this category with just over half the sites audited being of low value. Low scoring sites were mainly attributed to their remoteness, poor accessibility and general lack of maintenance. As with the majority of the places visited littering and dog fouling tended to be evident. Further management of such sites would assist in keeping invasive species in check - such as Japanese Knotweed and Rhododendron. Many would benefit from site information, general path maintenance and picnic areas without detracting from the 'naturalness' of the sites.


Summary of sites with low scores

Very Low Value /

Low Quality (1)

Boscathnoe Reservoir

Low scoring due to its need of path clearance, repair/ removal of dangerous structures, litter, dog fouling and lack of disabled access. Isolated site.

Low Value / Low Quality (3) Sennen Pond - Japanese Knotweed, littering & isolated.

Loggans Moor- Isolated CWT site, no site information.

Carnsew & Spit - Semi derelict in places requiring removal of debris, dumped rubbish and marine litter. Dangerous structures need to be made safe, removal of pylons and improvements to site entrance. Low community safety.

Low Value / Medium Quality (10) Baker's Pit, St Erth Pit, Bowjey, Longstone and Trevaylor woods, Bussow and Drift Reservoirs, St Erth Fishery, Trencrom Hill and St Gothian Sands.

Valuable sites requiring some management tending to be of low value due to their position relating to settlements i.e due to their isolation.

Low Value / High Quality (1) Nance Lakes

High quality site but again had low value scores due to its structural and amenity role.

A number of the woodlands audited would benefit from becoming community projects replicating the success of the Steeple Woodlands Project which has attracted various community groups and is now designated as a Local Nature Reserve with Green Flag status. Other woodlands with the potential to become community projects include Trevaylor, Bowjey, Longstone and Poltair woods. Other community driven schemes to create semi-natural greenspaces include the newly planted Millennium Woods and Love Lane Meadow, both initiated by the Penwith Environmental Network (PEN), and grant funded by the Liveability scheme.

It is largely due to the enthusiasm of communities and local groups that the District now has 5 designated Local Nature Reserves. These are protected areas of wildlife or geological interest, managed by local community volunteer groups for all to enjoy.There are also numerous good quality lakes and reservoirs popular for coarse fishing, rich in biodiversity and important as fresh water habitats, of these sites improvements to pathways would encourage walkers rather than limiting the sites for fishing.Cornwall Wildlife Trust manage 8 reserves within Penwith of varying physical character, 4 of which are included in the audit. The National Trust owns and manages large areas of the Penwith coastline and moorland of which the most popular are included along with the two RSPB managed sites at Marazion Marsh and Hayle Estuary.

There is ample accessible natural and semi-natural open space within the District. Those sites easily accessible within or adjacent to the curtilage of settlements play an important role both recreationally and for their biodiversity value.


Cemeteries and churchyards

All very high to medium quality reflecting good design, condition and community safety. Cemeteries and churchyards represent areas of quiet contemplation and wildlife interest which are important sites often integral to settlements. Low value sites being attributed to those sited on the edge of villages, their hidden aspect and poor accessibility; often attributed to the lack of designated pathways. However, valuable in terms of their biodiversity value.Schemes to encourage the composting of plant waste could be introduced as many cemeteries lacked adequate recycling provision and often had bins over flowing with a mixture of dead and artificial flowers.

Summary table of low scoring sites

Low Value/ Medium Quality (5) Jewish Cemetery (no public access), Cholera Ground, Crowlas, Gwithian & Bosavern Cemeteries.

Low value scores attributed to low structural, amenity and cultural roles.

Low value / High Quality (6) Marazion, St Erth, Sennen, Gwinear, St Ia and St Just Church.

High quality sites again with low value scores attributed to their location. The latter two in particular, seemed to be undervalued and could be promoted as easily accessible open spaces within their urban locations.


The majority of outdoor sports facilities are of medium to maximum quality with 11 of low value again due to the pitches being sited on the outskirts of settlements resulting in low structural and amenity value scores. It was found that the football and cricket pitches in particular tended to lack basic signage, had areas of dumped rubbish and were in need of general refurbishment. Poor drainage was also an issue for some of the sports fields especially during the winter months.

Summary table of low scoring sitesBotallack CC Low value scores being attributed to this facility being rural and isolated with

basic facilities and derelict buildings. Could do with some investment.

Hutchen's Parc, Paul CC

Excellent facilities but scored a low value due to its isolation. Drainage problems persist despite investment to alleviate.

Gulval CC Rural, isolated site with hazardous road access.

Phillack CC Excellent quality pitch but site is very isolated and lacks signage and spectator provision.

Newlyn Coombe

Football field

Basic facilities within portacabins. Site improvements needed to boundary fence, entrance signs and removal of rubbish/ litter required. Rusting goal posts recently replaced. Nets stored away when not in use.

Halsetown FC Basic pitch with facilities in pub. Site needs general tidy up, new signage, spectator shelter/ seating and nets to goal posts.


St Just FC General refurbishment required to damaged spectator shelter, boundary fencing and walls. Some litter and dumping of builders' rubble. Good clubhouse facilities. This club has identified that the lack of money, the remote and difficult access and persistent vandalism as being the limiting factors for the development of the club.

Trungle Parc

(Mousehole AFC)

General site improvements needed to tatty shelter and practice pitch. Unattractive club house. Access lane pot-holed and streaming in water. Drainage problems during winter months.

Hayle FC Poor entrance signage, untidy carpark area, isolated site. Otherwise excellent facilities.

Cape Cornwall Golf Club & Hayle Golf Range

Both high quality sites but low scoring in terms of value due to their isolation.

It should be noted that there is a need for additional pitches and training facilities for local clubs that is not currently being met. In particular this applies to clubs within the St Ives area. Issues concerning lack of floodlighting and adequate changing facilities are restricting the use of the pitches at Lelant Saltings and at St Ives School. Also Penzance AFC have reported that the lack of facilities is preventing the clubs' development as they only have one pitch available to them without having to incur additional costs. Penzance and Newlyn RUFC have also reported that the lack of training space has resulted in 'the junior coaching time being squeezed by Mounts Bay RFC'. This has meant them having to train in less pleasant conditions. Further information concerning future provision will be determined from the Sports Facility Survey currently being conducted by the Sports Development Team.

Amenity green spaces

The majority of the 88 sites considered to be amenity green spaces are of medium to very high quality with 24 sites considered to be of low or very low value. Many of the spaces were described as a 'blank canvas' lacking a community role. These would benefit from visual enhancements such as tree planting and seating provision. Some potentially could be landscaped to form community gardens, play areas or allotments, depending on the needs of the neighbouring community. It is considered that such spaces should be protected from development at the very least. Although the use of these areas may not be as high as other types of open space, it should be noted that such open spaces can serve as a visual function and give the 'feeling of space' even if their actual uses may be low. The emphasis of maximising the use of land in terms of development pressure can be clearly seen in modern developments which have no or extremely little provision for amenity space. As such the majority of the amenity spaces were found to be in and around housing designed and built in the late 1950s and 60s.


Summary table of low value sites

V. low Value, Low quality (1)

Love Lane playing field: designated under Policy R-C as being reserved for children's play space. However, this waterlogged site has been partially planted with beech saplings. Site is probably more suited to much needed allotment provision or have further planting to create an urban woodland.

Low Value, Low Quality (3)

The Rec; formerly equipped play space. On periphery of housing development so a little isolated but valuable as an open space within the highly developed area of Alexandra Road, St Ives. Would benefit from improvements to pathways to and within site, football posts and cycle path?

Kew Pendra; PHA designated play area used as storage site at time of audit. Needs re-landscaping, repairs to fencing and signage.

Foxes Field; poorly landscaped space after newly built addition to housing area.

Low Quality, Medium Value (2)

Moorland Close; good sized amenity space with one football post, potential for more of a community role. Good community safety.

Lescudjack Hillfort; rough grassland with blackthorn planned to be regenerated into a public park celebrating its historical past after full archeological survey has been completed.

V. Low Value, Medium Quality (2)

Parc Mellan; residential green space lacking planting and community role. A tree planting scheme would improve area.

Ludgvan Community Garden; newly designated community space situated on edge of village. Isolated site resulting in low value scores. Sloping field may limit usability of space.

Low Value, Medium Quality (14)

Venton Vision, St Ives; extremely small 'token' amenity space within new affordable housing development in Alexandra Road. Designated as an unequipped children's play area but of poor design & low play value.

Railway Approach, Hayle; traffic-free, quiet walkway with potential to become a public garden or other high quality community space.

Newlyn Playground, Portherras Villas and Lafrowda Playground; - all former playgrounds with equipment removed, now tatty and neglected. All would easily lend themselves to ball games areas or as grassed areas.

Old People's Garden, Marazion; poorly maintained PHA garden with panoramic views over Mounts Bay.

Lafrowda Close, The Pathway Fields, Parc-an-Pyth, Carnyorth Green, Alverton Playing Field, Trevithick Crescent, and Gurnick Road. Improvements to the community role of these residential green spaces could include planting schemes, seating & more regular maintenance.

Giew Engine House, popular picnic spot suffering from fly tipping and littering, would benefit from seating and improvements to site entrance.

Low Value, High Quality (6)

The Dollan, The Gwelva, Trehayes Meadow, Sennen Village hall field, Quaker House and Beacon House.

All high quality sites but with low value scores due to a variety of reasons including poor community role, structural role, accessibility and amenity value.


Children's Play Areas

The audit has shown that the majority of play sites are of high to medium quality and value with the low value sites being attributed to various reasons such as poor accessibility in and within the sites, and poor structural and amenity role if sited on the outskirts of settlements. Basic improvements to the condition of some of these sites would involve better site maintenance, removal of graffiti, litter, and to install bins, seating and in one site to replace all the equipment. It was felt that some were poorly designed, hidden away and not integrated with the public realm in general. The quality of provision could be improved through upgrading sites and changing the type of provision on offer. The newly agreed natural play areas to be funded by the Big Lottery at St Buryan, Marazion and Paul will be the 'experimental prototypes' for this type of play within the District. If these are deemed to be successful it is hoped that more will be created around the District.

The table below identifies the low scoring play sites and full summary of future requirements to the maintenance of sites expected over the next 5 years can be found in Appendix 6.

High quality, low value (2) Canonstown had poor access to the site and Davy House has the potential to fulfil more of a community role.

Medium quality, low value (4) Sancreed, Vicarage Gate, Battery Mill and Gwavas. These had low value scores due to their siting on the outskirts of settlements, poor access and low amenity and structural values.

Low quality, low value (1) Longrock play site scored very poorly due to the extremely poor condition of the equipment and playing field.

The play site at Longrock has not been included on the play site threshold map due to its appalling condition. It was felt that to include it on the map would falsely imply that there is a 'usable' play site on the eastern side on the Penzance town boundary. To accommodate the shortfall within St Ives / Carbis Bay perhaps one of the sites could be upgraded to a NEAP (although both the existing LEAP sites within Carbis Bay are probably too small). A new site around the middle of the main town boundary or to equip the Ayr field site would help to accommodate this shortfall. There are also gaps within Hayle, notably a lack of older children's play facilities within the southern end of Hayle. This need has been identified by the Play Partnership who are facilitating the new 'teen' shelter proposed within Ellis Park.

This work is supported by the Council's Penwith Play Strategy 2007 which sets out 6 main targets within its Action Plan to be completed by 2009. Target 2 is an ongoing Action 'To develop and improve a variety of dedicated play spaces that are local, clean, equipped, safe, accessible for all children and well maintained'. This target applies to PDC owned sites and those owned and maintained by community groups, Parish and Town Councils and relates to the priorities identified in this Open Spaces Audit. Although conservation of play space is part of the aim of the Play Strategy it allows for the 'consideration of relocation of poorly located play sites'.

Civic spaces

All of high to maximum quality and value consisting of 2 pedestrianised shopping areas within Penzance and the Penzance Promenade. The latter being a vital social and civic


amenity and with great cultural and historical significance. At present however, corporate resources have only been available to fund required maintenance works necessary for it to fulfil its role as a sea defence. To maximise the Promenade's use by local residents and visitors, more focused activity by the Council and the community is required. In recognition of this, the Promenade features in the Council's 2006-2009 Business Plan and a Member and officer panel has been assembled to consider improvement options. Long-term it is envisioned that the Promenade's visual appearance will be greatly improved and that it will be the venue for a yearly schedule of public events and a focus for community activity related to heritage, leisure and culture.

Indoor Sports Facilities

Although there is a limited number of built sports facilities they are all considered to have high or very high quality and value. The facilities were mainly centred around the main towns of Penzance and St Ives with a notable lack of facilities in Hayle. This would need to be addressed in view of the development plans for the town.

Halls for Hire

Halls were found to be well used by their communities and an important part of village life, often being used on a daily basis or at least a few times each week. All were available to hire at a reasonable rate and typical uses included village events and activities ranging from fetes, jumble sales, WI, committee and Parish meetings, IT training, arts and crafts, private parties and mother and toddler groups. The majority (85%) were also used for health benefits and indoor sports such as yoga, keep fit, karate, dance, short mat bowls and badminton. The larger community centres had sports halls suitable for high impact sports such as volleyball and indoor football.

Such local facilities have an important community role to play both socially and for health benefits and are readily accessible to local residents without undue reliance on public or private transport. The audit has highlighted the importance of halls and has not identified a surplus that would justify their loss to alternative uses.

Schools

Schools play an important role in providing venues for indoor and outdoor sports provision and premises for community activities within their halls. This especially applies to those within the Penwith Schools Sports Partnership - a government initiative to raise standards in secondary schools and within the community.

Hayle Community College had upgraded facilities but did not permit public access at the time of the audit due to management issues which could potentially be resolved in the future.

The audit has revealed how very few schools permit access to their outdoor provision on a casual basis to children in their catchment area, a sum total of 5 out of 38 schools. This was largely due to issues concerning Health and Safety and premises not being insured for unsupervised use.


An Overview of Open Space Provision

Strengths

● The District has several valuable accessible public gardens with Historic Parks and Gardens status which include Morrab Gardens, Trengwainton Gardens, Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden and St Michael's Mount.

● The District has secured 5 Local Nature Reserves, one with Green Flag status.

● Several community driven initiatives have created publicly accessible open spaces such as Steeple Woodlands, Love Lane Meadow, Millennium Woods and the Community Gardens at Longrock and Ludgvan.

● The District has a good number and wide range of high quality accessible open spaces.

● Excellent gardens and amenity spaces throughout the District contributing to multiple Britain in Bloom awards. Voted best in the County and in top 10% in country according to BVPI.

● Superbly clean beaches; 5 with Blue Flag Status.

● High level of biodiversity in open spaces.

● Many open spaces have benefitted from Liveability funded improvements.

● District continues to improve its play areas to include new world-class skate boarding facilities and MUGAs. Initiating a new scheme through the Play Partnership to develop natural play areas in collaboration with community groups.

Weaknesses

● The District needs to improve its system of securing the provision of open spaces in major development areas using section 106 agreements & commuted sums.

● There is a lack of open spaces within new housing developments and often the ones provided are too small, poorly integrated and badly designed.

● Limited resources including developer contributions towards the maintenance of open space have affected the quality of maintenance of new open space.

● The overall quality of some open space has suffered due to lack of resources.

● Lack of communication, co-ordination and promotion for open spaces.

● Local Plan Policy has limited the opportunity for appropriate provision of open space.

● There is a lack of assessment of needs and opportunities for open space through public consultation.


Opportunities

● Easy access to high quality coast and countryside around the main towns.

● Potential economic, social and health benefits for improving open spaces.

● Range of funding opportunities including from developers, grants, the lottery etc

● Potential for innovative approaches to managing open spaces by working with other organisations.

● Increased community involvement.

● Enhanced biodiversity.

Threats

● Vandalism, graffiti and other antisocial behaviour (drink and drug taking).

● Perceived fear of crime and personal safety.

● On going issues with litter and dog fouling.

● Development pressure on open spaces.

● Lack of funding, budget cut backs etc.

● Pressure to use previously developed land.

● Increased land pressure to develop high density housing without incorporating amenity space within the design, creating 'slums of the future'.

6. Conclusions, policy implications and future work

The audit has reported on approximately 350 open spaces as they were in 2007 and acknowledges the fact that the condition of sites can change on a daily basis. In this respect, it is the intention of the Planning Policy Team to conduct an annual, summertime audit on childrens' play areas to monitor provision against thresholds and standards and take the opportunity to observe usage, to feed back to the Play Partnership Group, and the Council's Open Spaces team and to update the Council website accordingly.

The next stage of the process would be to conduct an open spaces, sport and recreation public consultation exercise to determine the attitudes and perceptions of the general public which are currently missing from the audit. Recommendations contained in Planning Policy Guidance note PPG17- planning for sport, open space and recreation advises that local authorities are required to undertake robust local assessments of existing provision and community needs to develop and provide the justification for seeking open space provision or contributions from developers.

Feedback from this consultation exercise can then be used to calculate proposed open space standards for all types of outdoor open space to give a quantity standard in hectares


per 1000 people which can then be used in future planning policy.

Sports facilities within the District are well used and there is a high demand from local clubs for additional sports pitches and indoor sports facilities. The provision for children and teenagers continues to be improved and enhanced with new sites being developed in areas of high demand. There is also a high demand for further allotment provision as indicated by the long waiting lists, feedback from Town Councils and enquiries to the Estates Section here at the Council.

There is pressure to develop some of these sites particularly on the amenity greenspaces for affordable housing. Examples include the former play areas at Lafrowda Close, St Just and Moorland Close, Pendeen. PHA also have plans to build houses on part of Alverton Playing field. The audit aims to monitor such losses of amenity space to the District. Also many sites included in the Area Action Plans Issues and Options documents for both Penzance and Newlyn and Hayle for possible development have been included within the audit as open spaces for sport and recreation and will have to be monitored depending on the outcome of the first stage of consultation.

These are indications that the Council's future planning policy will need to continue to protect areas of open space in addition to sport and recreational facilities used by the community. It also highlights that as the District continues to experience development of new housing and employment use it will be necessary for either new open space, sport and recreational facilities to be provided or existing facilities to be improved.

The findings of the audit will be a useful tool for the new Unitary Authority and will provide much of the evidence base in any future County or Delivery Area Open Spaces Strategy. The Audit will also be used to inform the Local Development Framework Documents (including the Area Action Plans / Town Plans) and will help determine how much open space is adequate for the future population, where improvements in open space are needed, and where new development of open space is needed.

COARSE FISHING

Needs attention, few landings, some dangerous structures, overgrown especially around the smaller pool. No disabled facilities, litter & dog mess. Has portaloo, good information boards (although condensated). Isolated site.Info. sign badly designed & in wrong place! Difficult entrance for disabled. Lot of dog poo, litter by pond, no explanation of history or nature value of site. Need to clear area by gravel pit for seating, handrail for steps down to pool. More site info needed.

WILDLIFE POND

Lacks site info, seating, etc (no facilities). Lots of litter, dogmess, kids play here- great for dens & tree swingsNeglected young wood & shrubbery on steep slope, poorly pruned trees, abundant brambles. Bench seat vandalized. Isolated site. Poor access.

COARSE FISHING

Life ring, hazard warnings overhead power lines, info board, no info about reservoir itself, not circular walk, 14 landings, no disabled facilities, no bin no seating. Integral parking.

Appendix 5

Penwith Equipped Play Area Standards (2008)

All children and young people aged 0-19 years in Penwith will have access to appropriate, inspiring, exciting, inclusive and sustainable play and recreational opportunities. Children and young people will be able to play freely, and safely and make choices about where, how and when they play.

Penwith Play Strategy Vision 2007.

Penwith Play Partnership is committed to ensuring children and young people in Penwith have outdoor play opportunities to help them develop physical skills and remain fit and healthy. For the purposes of the Open Spaces audit, and in response to the Penwith Play Strategy Vision 2007, equipped play spaces in Penwith have been re-categorised.

Fields In Trust, formerly the National Playing Fields Association, designed the Six Acre Standard which is a format offering guidance to Local Authorities and developers addressing the issue of what unsupervised play space should be provided. These Standards are currently being re-drafted by Fields In Trust and have been adapted by the Penwith Play Partnership for local use. The following elements should be considered with regard to provision of equipped play space in any future Section 106 agreements:

Size Location Position from other areas of the built / social environment Walking time Quality and range of provision Inclusiveness

The Standards below should be used to determine a developer contribution to equipped play space in conjunction with the Open Spaces Audit maps showing local deficiency of equipped play space plus additional local information to be provided by the Penwith Play Partnership.

All children in Penwith ages 4 -14 living in Main Towns, Smaller Towns and Larger Villages should have access to age appropriate equipped play space. Development of play spaces in Small Villages may also be appropriate. In addition, consideration should also be given to provision for older teens from the ages of 14-19.

Developers will be required to provide or contribute to one or more of the following types of equipped play areas, depending on the number of dwellings proposed. If the developer wishes the Council to adopt the play areas a commuted sum will be payable via a S106 agreement. The developer will also be asked to pay a sum that equates to 70% costs of refurbishment within the 20 year period (see maintenance cost list for details).

The LAP, LEAP & NEAP classifications below are intended to guide decisions affecting the provision of play sites in Penwith:

All young children up to the age of six should have access to a LAP, either separately or contained within a larger play area, within a 100m walking distance.

All older children up to the age of 14 should have access to a LEAP, either separately or contained within a larger play area, within 400m walking distance.

All teenagers should have access to a NEAP, or suitable open access equipment and facilities within 800m walking distance.

Local Area for Play (LAP) Toddlers

A LAP should be within 1 minute walking distance, (100m walking threshold). It should have a minimum size of 100 m2 and not abut the walls or fences of dwellings.

The play area should:

be accessible, including 1.2 m wide tarmac paths leading from the entrance gate to all areas containing play equipment and seats, and offer interest and stimulation for children with disabilities.

have design features and/or equipment suitable for younger children's play (ages 4- 6), to include a multi-use goal and space for young children to run about.

have seating for accompanying adults. be enclosed with a self-closing gate at least 1.2m wide and a sign excluding dogs. be overlooked by housing, pedestrian routes, or other well-used public facilities. have appropriate safety surfacing and all equipment and design features should

A good example of a LAP is at Foxes Lane, Mousehole. It is a well designed play area with attractive planting, seating, signage and equipment- indicating what can be achieved in a such a small space.

Local Equipped Areas of Play (LEAP) Toddler, Junior & Young Teen

A LEAP should be within 5 minutes walking distance (400m walking threshold). It should have a minimum size of 400 m2 and a buffer zone of 20m from the nearest dwelling.The play area should:

be accessible, including 1.2 m wide tarmac paths leading from the entrance gate to all areas containing play equipment and seats, and offer interest and stimulation for children with disabilities.

have design features and/or equipment suitable for play for all ages up to 14. occupy a well drained site with level ground for ball games

accommodate equipment and design features which offer the chance to encounter risks in imaginative, stimulating and challenging play environments including at least 5 types of playing activities e.g climbing, swinging, rocking, sliding and spinning.

contain at least 8 design features and/or play equipment, of which at least 4 are individual pieces rather than part of a combination multi-play unit.

have a grassed games area suitable for ball games. have seating for accompanying adults. have appropriate safety surfacing and all equipment or design features should

conform to European safety standards or pass a ROSPA inspection. areas for younger children should be enclosed with a self-closing gate at least 1.2m

wide and a sign excluding dogs. be overlooked by housing, pedestrian routes, or other well-used public facilities.

Heamoor playing field is a good example of a LEAP with a range of equipment, a mini football pitch with goal posts and natural play opportunities with landscaping, mature trees and a stream flowing along one of the boundaries.

Neighbourhood Equipped Area for Play (NEAP)

A NEAP should be located within 15 minutes walking time (800m walking threshold). It should have a minimum size of 1,000 m2 and a buffer zone of 20m from the nearest dwelling. (A greater distance or sound proofing will be needed where wheeled sports facilities are provided)

The play area should:

be accessible, including 1.2 m wide tarmac paths leading from the entrance gate to all areas containing play equipment and seats, and offer a range of interest and

stimulation for children with disabilities. have design features and/or equipment suitable for all ages, at least up to the age of

14. accommodate equipment and design features, which offer the chance to encounter

risks in imaginative, stimulating and challenging play environments appropriate to the different age groups.

contain at least 10 design features and/or equipment providing at least 8 different types of activity, 5 of which should be individual pieces rather than part of a combination multi-play unit. Examples include SK8 facilities, hard surfaced kick about areas, MUGAs (multi-use games area), hoops and cycle area.

have seating for accompanying adults and teenage meeting areas. have appropriate safety surfacing and all equipment or design features should

conform to European safety standards or pass a ROSPA inspection. areas for younger children should be enclosed with a self-closing gate at least 1.2m

wide and a sign excluding dogs.

Equipped Areas for Older Teens and Adults

Significant national research carried out, with reference to teenage behaviour, has been considered upon the inclusion of this section. It has been shown that the age of 14 is one of the critical ages when a decrease in physical activity is evident. A need for play provisions to be put in place for older teenagers is significant and is considered be an option in improving levels of fitness, and avoiding boredom and anti-social behaviour.

In the absence of a NEAP, ages 15-19 provision should be made within 15 minutes walking distance.The equipped area should:

be accessible, including 1.2 m wide tarmac paths leading from the entrance gate to all areas containing equipment and seats, and offer a range of interest and stimulation for people with disabilities.

accommodate stimulating and challenging design features and/or equipment that encourages exercise.

contain at least 6 individual design features and/or equipment suitable for older teenagers. Examples include a balance bar (teen rotator), an exercise bar (chin-ups), outdoor gym equipment, trim trail, hoops, features to offer shelter and protection for adventure games.

seating for accompanying teenagers and adults must be provided. have appropriate safety surfacing and all equipment or design features should

conform to European safety standards or pass a ROSPA inspection.

If there is an existing NEAP, with space for extension, an exercise area for older teenagers, ages 15-19, should be added.

The equipped area should: be accessible, including 1.2 m wide tarmac paths leading from the entrance gate to

all areas containing equipment and seats, and offer a range of interest and stimulation for people with disabilities.

have adequate space between design features and/or equipment. accommodate stimulating and challenging design features and/or equipment that

encourages exercise. contain at least 4 individual design features and/or equipment suitable for older

teenagers. Examples include a balance bar (teen rotator), an exercise bar (chin-ups), outdoor gym equipment, trim trail, hoops, features to offer shelter and protection for adventure games.

May Recreation ground is a good example of a NEAP with new play opportunities including skate bowls, a MUGA and a toddler play area. There is a large open space equipped with goal posts, newly tarmaced pathways leading around the site and a new toilet block with provision for the disabled. The final stage to the work will be in the construction of a play area designed for older children.

Play site recommendations

PDC maintained sites

Alexandra Gardens Constructed in 1998 this predominantly wooden nautical themed play site had a unique character of its own. Now equipment has begun to rot and some of the smaller pieces have already been replaced. The larger boat climbing structures will also need to be removed within the next 5 years. Poor after service and other difficulties with the construction company has resulted in alternative equipment being chosen to replace the rotten structures, sadly loosing the unique 'quirkiness' of this site.

Col Coombe

(PHA)

Needs seat and new toddler swings and the rockers will need to be replaced within 5 years.

Heamoor Toddler play unit will need replacing within next 5 years (£5000). Narrow access hinders access into the site with push chairs. Ground becomes boggy and water logged during the winter.

Gwavas This is an exposed site on the edge of the community. Since 2005 and after an extensive consultation with young people and the community a new skate park and a MUGA have been installed. The funding was raised by the Gwavas Residents Association in partnership with PDC and CN4C. New fencing has been installed as an attempt to segregate dog walkers from the playing field. A new fenced area for toddler play equipment has also been installed in preparation for new equipment. Site would benefit from further seating, hard surfaced pathways and the painting of bins.

Canonstown Entrance gate needs replacing, however dog fouling is not a problem here. Will need a new slide and swings within next 5 years (£5000). Unmade rough track (private access lane) hinders access with pushchairs.

Hayle Recreation Ground

Poorly laid SAFA grass has resulted in uneven bumpy surface. Needs to be levelled some time in the future.

Palemon Best

(St Ives T.C)

Currently sand being replaced with SAFA grass under play equipment. Multi activity unit will need replacing within 5 years (£15-20,000). Site lacks entrance sign.

Reawla Wet pour tiles have shrunk and so safety surfacing will need to be replaced.

Pendeen Problems with newly laid wet pour safety surfacing.

St Just Problems with safety wet pour surfacing. Potential to create on site car parking within main entrance gates. Lacks footpaths linking play areas.

St Pirans, Goldsithney

(Parish Council)

Suffers from dog fouling, needs enclosure with self closing gates. Occasional problems with anti social behaviour such as graffiti and smashed bottles.

Foxes Lane, Mousehole

Multi activity equipment will need replacing within next 5 years which will spoil newly laid wet pour.

Millpond Gardens Equipment getting old and will need replacing over next 5 years and sand to be replaced with new SAFA surfacing as site is not dog/cat-free. Needs new bin.

Independently owned and maintained sites

Wherrytown Skate PZ TC have secured a community grant to rebuild and resurface 1/2 pipe which is due to re-open spring 2008.

Rosehill Meadow Newly completed play area has been damaged- one rocker/springy has been removed, gate missing and wet pour bulging. Residents maintain PHA site.

Battery Mill Lane

St Erth

Parish Council

Problems with anti social behaviour - a lot of graffiti all over equipment, bin broken, general site maintenance needed to hedgerows and sand surfacing. ROSPA report Nov 07 states that equipment such as the roundabout, 2 rockers and panels on the activity unit being of 'high risk and requiring immediate replacement'.

Vicarage Gate

St Erth

Parish Council

New site requires enclosure to prevent dog fouling on site. More regular maintenance required in terms of grass cutting and further seating provision.

Long Rock playing field

Longrock PFA

Dilapidated site, entrance gate hanging off, no signage or bins. Equipment in very poor state and should be immediately removed. Football field neglected and requires more regular maintenance -should be cut more frequently and re-levelled. Football posts need replacing.

King George Memorial park

Madron

PFA

Repairs required to site; damage to wooden fencing, seating, climbing equipment and entrance gate. Matting exposed beneath sand surfacing - Narrow entrance into site prevents pushchair access.

Ludgvan

Residents Association

Play site secured funding from the Big Lottery Play Award to remove sunken play area, level out site and install SAFA grass- work commenced December 2007.

Foxes Field,

Eastern Green

DCHA/ tenants

Small play area requiring general maintenance to remove graffiti and repair to fencing. Newly laid wet pour bulging in places.

Safety SurfacingPlay parks in general are recommended to instal safety surfing of some form. Sand is being replaced in some sites with SAFA grass which consists of rubber matting with holes in to allow grass to grow through. It can be mown and 'grows in' forming a very natural, unnoticeable rubberised surface. Wet pour is the alternative and is made up of synthetic EPDM rubber granulate bound in polyurethane resin to form a continuous, seamless surface which can be coloured for extra play value. It forms a springy surface which if correctly laid should be maintenance free and cost effective in the long term (20+ years). However, numerous sites throughout the district are experiencing problems with the wet pour surfacing bulging and shrinking away from equipment. The SAFA grass also can become bumpy and uneven. It is crucial to prepare ground adequately beforehand and to use a reputable company that guarantees their work and can ensure the correct mixture is used when laying the wet pour. Wet pour is very expensive so it pays to employ the right company to ensure a long lasting, safe, floor surface.Equipment replacement is also very costly with small pieces of equipment costing from £5000 to larger multiactivity units costing between £15,000-£20,000. An information sign costs £500 alone.

On the whole the council maintained sites are very well maintained and regularly inspected both in house and independently by ROSPA. Sub standard equipment is promptly repaired, or if removed, normally replaced, with the result that play areas are good quality on the whole. The most well used sites are inspected weekly during the summer, for graffiti, litter and any damage which is swiftly remedied by the Open Spaces team.

Some independently managed sites have maintenance problems often due to lack of funding and tend to suffer if not represented by an active community group which can apply for funding opportunities and keep up repairs to equipment and general site maintenance. Play sites need constant maintenance and regular inspections to ensure they don't become too neglected and targets for antisocial behaviour.

Two sites managed by Playing Field Associations requiring financial assistance to their play areas are at Longrock and Madron. Longrock in particular is in an extremely poor condition with the equipment being broken and unusable. The accompanying field is also in poor condition requiring levelling and would soon improve with regular mowing. Madron needs new safety surfacing as matting beneath sand base is exposed creating a trip hazard. General repairs are needed to the wooden fencing and gates. The entrances currently are too narrow to permit pushchairs -possibly to deter motor bikes etc. Parish council owned and maintained sites requiring improvements are the two sites in St Erth. The Vicarage Gate site needs boundary fencing to prevent dog fouling, more regular grass cutting and further seating would help to create more of a community space. The Battery Mill Lane site remains heavily graffitied since first audited in December 2006. Some of the equipment needs replacing due to wear and tear such as the roundabout, the two rockers / springys and also the barriers need replacing to the multi-activity unit. The enclosures around the equipment need refilling with sand or replacing with an alternative safety surfacing. The boundary hedgerows have been cut back and the broken bin has now been removed.

Provision for new open space, sport and recreational facilities should be calculated for all new developments to include 20 year management funding to overcome the very high costs of maintenance.
