Redrow Homes Limited Peel Centre Hybrid Planning Application


FOREWORD

This foreword explains the following:

• The type of application that has been submitted;

• The documents that have been submitted; and

• What happens next?

THE APPLICATION

A Hybrid Planning Application (‘the Application’) has been prepared for the redevelopment

of the former Peel Centre site (‘the Site’) and is submitted by Redrow Homes Limited (‘the

Applicant’). A Hybrid Planning Application is one that seeks Outline Planning Permission for

one part and Full Planning Permission for another part of the same site.

This Foreword, which appears at the front of every submission document, has been prepared

to explain how the many submission documents fit together in order to help stakeholders and

interested parties navigate the Application.

The paragraphs below explain the documents that have been submitted within the

Application and the inter-relationship between them.

THE DOCUMENTS

The Application includes a number of documents that are submitted for approval which

relate to the Proposed Development in its entirety, with others that pertain only to the outline

or detailed components.

The paragraphs below explain the purpose of each document, how they inter-relate with

one another and how they have been used to define the Proposed Development.

A number of documents are submitted for approval (‘the Primary Control Documents’), whilst

others will provide background, illustrative and supporting information (‘the Secondary

Control Documents’) to help the London Borough of Barnet (LBB) and Greater London

Authority (GLA) to reach their decision as to whether to grant permission for the application

being made.



A Planning Application Specification Document is submitted to describe the Hybrid Planning

Application.

The Primary Control Documents

The document submitted for approval in respect to the entire Application is:

• Red Line Boundary Plan, identifying the extent of the Application Site (within which development is proposed) and the extent of land within the ownership of the Applicant.

The detailed component of the Hybrid Planning Application includes the following

documents which are submitted for approval:

• Detailed Plans, Sections and Elevations, setting out in full how the detailed components will be developed, including full details on matters of layout, scale and appearance of the buildings, landscaping and access arrangements; and

• Detailed Development Schedule, setting out the quantity and mix of development proposed for the detailed components within the context of the site-wide allowable quantity and mix.

The outline components of the Hybrid Planning Application are set out within three Primary

Control Documents, which define the Specified Parameters of the Proposed Development

and are submitted for approval. These are as follows:

• Parameter Plans, defining the extent of the proposed routes, spaces and buildings against allowable deviations/tolerances. Each of these component parts is identified as a Development Zone which is identified by a letter (e.g. Development Zone A) or a number (e.g. Public Space 1). While not a legal requirement, these are submitted at the request of LBB and GLA;

• Outline Development Schedule, setting out the type (uses) and quantity of development that could be provided within each of the Development Zones (as identified in the Parameter Plans) within the context of the site-wide allowable quantity and mix; and

• The Design Principles Document, provides overarching guidance for future design teams involved in the preparation of Reserved Matters Applications for the development of the outline components, including buildings, landscape/public realm and routes. Future Reserved Matters Applications are likely to need to comply with the Design Principles Document if they are to be considered acceptable. Matters that have been reserved for approval at a later date in respect to the outline components are layout, scale, appearance and landscaping.



While these documents must be read together to understand the development potential of

each Development Zone, the Design Principles Document sets out how the Hybrid Planning

Application is organised, and is likely to provide the best starting point for the reader.

The Secondary Control Documents

In addition to the above, a range of other documents are submitted to provide information

to help the LBB and GLA to consider the proposals and determine the Application. A full suite

of supporting documents is submitted which relates to both the outline and detailed

components of the Hybrid Planning Application.

A number of these documents make commitments and recommendations in order to make

the Proposed Development acceptable (including for example the Energy Statement).

Where this is the case, it is clearly stated, along with the mechanism for securing the

commitment (e.g. through a planning condition). The documents are as follows:

• Illustrative Masterplan, providing an indication of what the overall Proposed Development could look like. It is not submitted for approval, but shows one way in which a development of the type and scale proposed might fit within the Specified Parameters for the outline components, for which Planning Permission is being sought;

• Planning Statement, explaining how the Proposed Development responds to the planning policies of London Borough of Barnet and the Mayor of London. It also sets out why the Proposed Development is being promoted and what benefits are expected to flow from it.

• Design & Access Statement (DAS), statutory document explaining the design evolution of the Proposed Development (the detailed and outline components). It explains how the amount, scale, layout, appearance, landscaping, and inclusive design and community safety issues have been developed. It includes a landscape strategy, details of the access design, and the evolution of the Illustrative Masterplan. It also includes illustrative design principles for the student housing and driving school sites, along with a demonstration of how the masterplan could respond to future works to the roundabout on Colindale Avenue, and the Transport for London (TfL)/London Underground Limited (LUL) preferred option for improving Colindale Tube Station.

• The Environmental Statement (ES) and Non-Technical Summary, statutory documents containing the technical environmental assessments that have been undertaken to understand the likely significant environmental effects of the Proposed Development. These assessments are based on the Primary Control Documents, and, where appropriate, also test the Illustrative Masterplan. The ES takes account of the proposed variation in layout, scale and appearance of future development, and access



arrangements as allowed for in the control documents and is based on the 'worst case scenarios' (which may vary from topic to topic).

A number of topic based technical reports complete the suite of supporting documents,

including for example the Transport Statement, Energy Strategy and Sustainability Statement.

The table below provides a complete schedule of the documents submitted as part of the

Application.

1. Introduction

1.1 This Open Space, Sports and Recreation Strategy accompanies a Hybrid Planning Application (‘the Application’) dated August 2014. The Application seeks planning permission for a residential led mixed use redevelopment at the former Peel Centre site (‘the Site’) in Colindale in the London Borough of Barnet (LBB). The Application is submitted by Redrow Homes Limited (‘the Applicant’).

1.2 The Application is for part Full Planning Permission (with full details provided of layout, scale, access, appearance and landscaping) and part Outline Planning Permission (with all matters reserved except access). This strategy has been prepared by GVA on behalf of the Applicant.

1.3 This report sets out the strategy for the provision of open space, sports and recreation facilities required in association with the Application. The purpose of the report is to demonstrate the acceptability of the loss of existing sports facilities within the Site and that appropriate open space, sports and recreation facilities are being provided to meet the needs of future residents.

1.4 The report firstly explains the rationale for the loss of existing on-site sports facilities. It then analyses the current facilities available in the local area, summarises the key underlying policies and identified needs, and then presents the proposed strategy for the provision of Public Open Space (POS), sports, recreation and play facilities within the Peel Centre development.

1.5 The report contains the following sections:

• Section 2 Relevant Policies and Standards

• Section 3 Loss of Existing Sports Facilities

• Section 4 Current Provision in the Local Area

• Section 5 Policy Position – Identified Need

• Section 6 Proposed Provision – Meeting Need

• Section 7 Conclusions

Background

1.6 In 2013 the Applicant purchased part of the Peel Centre site in Colindale, London (‘the Site’) from the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC). The Site became available for purchase as a result of a rationalisation programme being undertaken



by the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), with the existing training operations being consolidated into a smaller area, and the remainder of the site being disposed.

1.7 The Site is identified within the LBB Development Plan for a residential-led mixed use redevelopment, and this scheme is now being advanced by the Applicant.

1.8 The Proposed Development requires a large number of physical changes to the Site which constitute development, and for which planning permission is required. A Hybrid Planning Application has therefore been prepared.

The Proposed Development

1.9 This Statement is submitted in support of a Hybrid Planning Application, and the formal description of development to which the Application relates is as follows:

‘Comprehensive redevelopment of the former Peel Centre site to include the

demolition of existing buildings and provision of residential-led mixed use

development comprising use classes C3, A1/2/3/4 and D1/2, with associated site

preparation/enabling works, transport infrastructure works, landscaping works and

provision of car parking’

1.10 In summary, the Proposed Development includes the following key characteristics:

• Up to 2,900 new dwellings across the Site (within Development Zones A – Z) with a

mixture of houses, duplexes and apartments;

• A new Neighbourhood Centre around Colindale Avenue with shops, cafes and

restaurants, a food store, community and leisure uses, and car parking;

• A new three form entry primary school and nursery;

• A minimum of four hectares of Public Open Space across the Site; and

• A network of new streets, pedestrian and cycle routes, including a new

pedestrian underpass connection.

1.11 A Hybrid Planning Application is one that seeks Outline Planning Permission for one part and Full Planning Permission for another part of the same site. It is envisaged that the Proposed Development will be delivered in three primary development stages, each with associated phases. The phasing is indicative at this stage and is assumed for the purposes of assessment.

1.12 Full Planning Permission is sought for Proposed Development within indicative development stage 1 (hereafter referred to as ‘the detailed components’), with the



exception of the school which is submitted for approval in outline. Full details are submitted of the proposed layout, scale, appearance, access and landscaping for the detailed components which include:

• 12 buildings (Blocks H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T and U), comprising a total of 888

new residential dwellings and 179 sqm of A1-4/D2;

• Associated site preparation/enabling works;

• Landscaping works (including the Neighbourhood Park); and

• Transport infrastructure and car parking.

1.13 Outline Planning Permission is sought for the remainder of the Proposed Development. This is hereafter referred to as ‘the outline components’. With respect to the outline components, all matters are reserved for approval at a later date (through Reserved Matters Applications), except for access which is submitted for approval in detail. The outline components include:

• The school (in development stage 1);

• Seven buildings in development stage 2 (within Development Zones A, B, C, D, E, F

and G), comprising up to 1,160 residential dwellings and up to 10,000 square

metres of town centre uses (A1-4, D1 and D2), including a food store (of up to

3,000 square metres net sales GIA);

• Five buildings in development stage 3 (within Development Zones V, W, X, Y and

Z), comprising up to 852 residential dwellings;

• Associated site preparation/enabling works;

• Landscaping works (including Station Plaza and Peel Square); and

• Transport infrastructure and car parking.

1.14 A more detailed description of the Proposed Development can be found in the Planning Application Specification submitted in support of the Application.



2. Relevant Policies and Standards

2.1 The relevant statutory planning policy and guidance that has informed the open space, sports and recreation strategy for Proposed Development is found in the following documents:

National

• National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), March 2012.

• National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG), March 2014.

Regional

• The London Plan, July 2011.

• LBB Planning Obligations SPD, April 2013.

2.2 In addition, the following documents provide non-statutory guidance (or provide a

policy evidence base) and have informed the proposals:

• Sport England Guidance – Planning for Sport, June 2013.

• LBB Open Space, Sports and Recreational Facilities Assessment, 2009.

• Colindale Open Spaces Strategy, (Burns and Nice) 2013.



3. Acceptability of Loss of Existing Sports Facilities

3.1 The Site currently accommodates the following sports facilities (see Appendix II):

• An Athletics Track

• Full Size Football Pitches (4)

• A Cricket Pitch

• Two Mini Football Pitches (2)

• A Health and Fitness Suite

• Squash Courts (3)

• Sports Halls (2), with capacity for Badminton Courts (15), Basketball Courts (3),

Volleyball Courts (5), Netball Courts (5)

3.2 These existing facilities have historically been used by one single user group (the Met Police) and are not accessible to the wider public. The facilities are generally of poor quality and in a poor state of repair, as well as being substantially underused owing to the changing nature of training operations at the Peel Centre site.

3.3 The MPS has confirmed that the facilities are no longer required to support their training operations. This has been accepted by the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) who subsequently sold the Site to a house builder, the Applicant.

3.4 The above position is reflected in policies set out in the Adopted Colindale Area Action Plan (2010) which specifically allow for the loss of the playing fields (and other sports facilities) to make way for a residential-led mixed use redevelopment. This is an up to date, adopted development plan that has been subject to public examination. Accordingly, the principle of the loss of the playing fields and other sports facilities has been established as acceptable in planning terms. This matter is therefore fully satisfied and is not covered further.

3.5 The subsequent sections of this report provide an analysis of the existing provision and needs for open space, sport and play and how the needs of the future community proposed at the Peel Centre Site will be met.



4. Analysis of Existing Provision in the Local Area

Existing Open Space

4.1 This section provides an analysis of the quantity, quality and accessibility of existing open spaces in the catchment of the Site.

4.2 Table 1 below identifies the parks and open spaces within a 1 km catchment of the Site, along with their typology (according to the London Plan), size and distance from the Site (see Appendix III). It compares the actual sizes of the spaces and distances to those recommended within the London Plan open space hierarchy accessibility standards to analyse the existing provision available to the Site. Table 1 demonstrates that there are a range of existing open spaces that are accessible from the Site.

4.4 In terms of quality, as demonstrated by Table 2, the existing open spaces that are accessible to the Site (according to London Plan accessibility standards) are generally of fair to good quality and medium to high value.

4.5 While they provide good quality facilities and are welcoming and clean, there are however issues identified with the variety and quality of natural features, and in one instance accessibility is poor (Rushgrove Park).

Existing Sports Facilities

4.6 This section provides an analysis of the quantity, quality and accessibility of existing sports pitches and facilities within walking distance of the Site.

4.7 Table 3 identifies the existing sports facilities within walking distance of the Site (see Appendix IV), along with their typology, distance from the Site and current available capacity where relevant (in the case of pitches used by teams).

4.8 As is demonstrated by Table 3 (and Appendix IV), there are a range of sports facilities within walking distance of the Site. The majority of these currently have capacity to support increased usage, with the exception of the cricket pitch at Sunny Hill Park and a 9-a-side football pitch at Montrose Park. Table 4 below provides information on the quality of the existing facilities, based on the LBB Open Space Assessment (2009) and feedback from the local authority received in 2014.

4.9 Tables 3 and 4 (and Appendix IV) demonstrate that there is a good range of sports pitch and court facilities in the local area with available capacity to meet the future needs of the population of the Site.

4.10 The facilities available at Sunny Hill Park, Grahame Park and Rushgrove Park are generally of fair/good quality, with the exception of the cricket pitch at Sunny Hill Park.

4.11 The football pitches at Copthall Playing Fields are closed for improvement works and will be available for the 2014/15 season and we understand that funding has been earmarked by LBB for improvements to Montrose Park.

Existing Play Facilities

4.12 This section provides an analysis of the quantity, quality and accessibility of existing sports pitches and facilities within walking distance of the Site.

4.13 Table 5 (and Appendix IV) identifies the existing formal play facilities within walking distance of the Site, along with their typology (according to the London Plan SPG), distance from the Site and level of accessibility.

*According to the LBB study (2009), these sites is neither judged as scoring poorly or well and it is therefore assumed having regard to the scores that accessibility is fair.

4.14 As demonstrated by Table 5, there is a good provision of existing formal play facilities within walking distance of the Site, the majority of which have a fair level of accessibility. While access to Rushgrove Park from the Site is currently restricted by the railway line, this will be addressed through the opening of a new pedestrian connection to the south (the Peel Link).

4.15 The implications of this analysis for the proposed open space, sports and play strategy (with respect to identified needs) are set out in the subsequent section of this report.



5. Policy Position – Identified Need

Open Space

5.1 This section summarises the key planning requirements and identified need for open space within the Proposed Development, which have informed the proposed open space strategy.

Access to Existing Open Spaces

5.2 The NPPF requires green infrastructure to be created within developments where possible (paragraph 74). The London Plan and the All London Green Grid (ALGG) SPG seeks enhancements to London’s green infrastructure, including by addressing needs arising where proposals fall within a regional or metropolitan park deficiency area (Policy 2.18).

5.3 As demonstrated within the previous section, the Site is within the accessibility catchments set by the London Plan for a Metropolitan Park (Fryent Country Park), District Park (Sunny Hill), Local Park and Open Spaces (Rushgrove Park) and Small Open Spaces (Colindale and Beaufort Parks). The Site is however not within the catchment of a Regional Park (not uncommon within London where there are few formally designated Regional Parks of this scale) and therefore, in accordance with the London Plan, adequate provision should be made within the Proposed Development to address the deficiency.

5.4 The London Plan promotes the provision of new green infrastructure which is integrated into the wider network and which links green infrastructure to improve accessibility. This aligns with the recommendations of the Colindale Open Spaces Study (Burns and Nice, 2013) which includes a vision for a ‘Green Grid’ of linked existing and new open spaces to be established in Colindale, providing a network of tree lined streets, small green spaces, pocket parks and local parks.

Quantitative Needs

5.5 At the local level, according to LBB Core Strategy Policy CS5 (map 10), the Site is not within an area of deficiency for public open space and, as such, there is no quantitative requirement to provide for open or natural green space to address existing local need.

5.6 The needs generated by the future population of the Proposed Development must however be met appropriately. This is acknowledged by adopted policy within the LBB Core Strategy (Policy CS7) and Colindale AAP (2010) which requires a new Local



Park of approximately 5 hectares to be provided within the Site. This policy requirement is to support the future population of the Site and other developments within the wider Colindale area.

5.7 Following the adoption of the Colindale AAP in 2010, LBB appointed consultants Burns and Nice to conduct a qualitative and quantitative review of open space provision within the Colindale and Burnt Oak Opportunity Area to provide an advanced strategy. That study (reported in 2013) provides an updated evidence base of need, concluding that there is a requirement for:

• 4 hectares of open space to be provided within the Peel Centre Site, comprising:

• a 2 hectare Local Park; and

• a further 2 hectares of green space for passive recreation within new local and

pocket parks.

Qualitative Needs

5.8 As demonstrated by the previous section of this report, the Site has access to a good range of existing open spaces in the local area which are generally of fair/good quality. One of the spaces, at Rushgrove Park, however suffers from poor accessibility, and a deficiency area has been identified to the north of Aerodrome Road as a result of poor accessibility (Burns and Nice, 2013).

5.9 Section 4 also demonstrates that, on the whole, the existing open spaces have good facilities and are welcoming and clean. There are however identified deficiencies in respect to the quality and variety of natural features. While providing for the needs of the future population on-site, the Proposed Development can therefore assist in improving accessibility to the wider area and should ensure that the spaces provide natural features in addition to other necessary community functions.

5.10 Qualitative considerations for the new open spaces provided within the Site are given in the London Plan, which seeks to establish a linked network of multifunctional and complementary green spaces. It identifies that any new open spaces should provide for:

• protection and enhancement of biodiversity;

• climate change adaptation and mitigation;

• improving water resources, flood mitigation and reduced flood risk through

sustainable urban drainage systems;



• increasing recreational opportunities, access to and enjoyment of open space to

promote healthy living;

• creating a sense of place and opportunities for greater appreciation of the

landscape and cultural heritage;

• promoting walking and cycling;

• a place for local food production; and

• a place for outdoor education and children's play.

5.11 The above policy priorities are reflected at the local level within the LBB Core Strategy and Development Management Document.

5.12 In addition, as part of the open space provision for the wider Opportunity Area, the Colindale Open Spaces Strategy (Burns and Nice, 2013) identifies more specifically a need for the following to be delivered at the Site:

• A new local park with a range of facilities;

• New pocket parks including opportunities for 1 NEAP play facility, nature

conservation and community food gardens;

• A new pedestrian and cycle route to provide an important section of the ‘Hills

and Dale’ Green Ring walk between Aerodrome Road and Colindeep Lane

linking with the open space resource to the south of the London Underground

line.

• A new pedestrian and cycle route between Aerodrome Road and the Colindale

Station public space to form a section of the ‘Flight Path’ walk.

• Tree lined streets with swales.

• Tree planting along the London Underground line corridor to enhance its nature

conservation value.

5.13 Details of the proposed strategy which have been developed in response to this can be found in Section 6.

Sports Facilities

5.14 This section summarises the key planning requirements and identified need for sports facilities within the Proposed Development which have informed the proposed sports strategy.



5.15 The London Plan (Policy 3.19) identifies the Mayor’s intention to increase participation and tackle inequality in access to sport and physical activity in London. It specifically supports proposals that increase or enhance the provision of sports and recreation facilities. At the local level, LBB Core Strategy (Policy CS7) also seeks provision for sports facilities and better access arrangements where opportunities arise from developments that create an additional demand for open space.

5.16 According to LBB Core Strategy Policy CS5 (map 10), the Site is not within an area of deficiency and therefore there is no quantitative requirement to provide for sports facilities to address existing need. It is however recognised that the Proposed Development will create a new community with an approximate population of approximately 5,796 people (see Appendix V) which will need to be adequately served by accessible sports facilities.

5.17 As set out in Section 4 above, the analysis of existing provision has concluded that there is a good range of facilities (including playing pitches and courts) within walking distance of the Site, the majority of which have surplus capacity to provide some facilities for the future population.

5.18 The analysis has however identified issues with the quality of a number of facilities with respect to accessibility and condition, and the Colindale Open Spaces Strategy (Burns and Nice, 2013) identifies a deficiency in the provision of football pitches and other sports facilities across the Opportunity Area, particularly in the area to the north of the London Underground Line. As such there is a requirement to provide appropriate sports facilities on-site to serve the increased population in Colindale and pattern of localised deficiency.

5.19 To address this need, adopted policy within the Colindale AAP requires the delivery of significant publicly accessible sports and leisure facilities within the Site as part of the new 2 hectare Local Park. The Colindale Open Spaces Strategy (Burns and Nice, 2013) has subsequently identified that these facilities should include:

• 1 senior pitch;

• 1 seven-a-side pitch;

• 1 large MUGA with associated changing rooms and ancillary facilities; and

• shared sports facilities with the proposed new school.

5.20 As part of the provision for the wider Opportunity Area, the strategy also identifies a need for:

• Smaller pocket parks with play areas and ball courts;

• Linked greenways for walking and cycling, including trim trails.



5.21 Details of the proposed strategy which have been developed in response to this can be found in Section 6.

Play

5.22 This section summarises the key planning requirements and identified need for play facilities within the Proposed Development, which have informed the proposed play strategy.

Quantitative Needs

5.23 Policy 3.6 of the London Plan requires developments proposals that include housing to make provision for play and informal recreation based on the expected child population generated by the scheme and an assessment of future needs. It refers to the London Plan Play and Informal Recreation SPG for further guidance.

5.24 LBB Core Strategy policy CS7 requires improved access to children's play space from all developments that increase demand, and LBB Development Management Policy (DM02) requires development to demonstrate compliance with the London Plan.

5.25 According to the London Plan Play and Informal Recreation SPG (2012), provision should be made for 10 m2 of play space per child. The Proposed Development will generate a yield of approximately 704 children across all ages (against the target site wide mix) which, in line with the SPG child yield calculator, results in a requirement for 7,042 sqm of children’s play space (see calculations at Appendix VI). This figure is based on the maximum number of residential units being applied for across the Proposed Development (2,900), the target mix of unit sizes and the indicative tenure mix and will be refined for the outline components at the Reserved Matters stage.

5.26 The London Plan also refers to an assessment of need as a consideration in determining the level of provision. According to LBB Core Strategy Policy CS5 (map 10), the Site is not within an area of open space deficiency. As identified in the Colindale Open Spaces Strategy (Burns and Nice, 2013), the current level of formal play provision within the Colindale and Burnt Oak Opportunity Area is 0.02 ha per 1000 population; this is roughly twice the provision for Barnet as a whole according to the LBB Open Space and Recreational Facilities Assessment (2009). The current provision is deemed to be suitable for children within various age groups and is distributed within the main parks (see Table 5).

5.27 While at a strategic level the Site is not within an area of play space deficiency, adopted policy in the Colindale AAP does require a number of children’s play facilities as part of the new Local Park within the Site. The Colindale Open Spaces Strategy (Burns and Nice, 2013) suggests that the area in Colindale to the north of the



London Underground line is deficient in formal play facility provision. As such, it identifies a requirement for the following on the Peel Centre Site:

• a new NEAP; and

• a number of LEAPs distributed within proposed new open spaces and pocket

parks.

Qualitative Needs

5.28 There are a number of qualitative considerations that apply in meeting children’s play needs as part of the Proposed Development, as set out below.

5.29 The London Plan (and associated SPG) promotes parks and open spaces as multifunctional spaces that offer a range of leisure and recreation opportunities for users of all ages, encouraging more innovative approaches to the design of children's play. It promotes 'shared' public space or communal space which offers a range of leisure and recreation opportunities for users of all ages' and identifies that they should provide formal, informal and incidental play.

5.30 According to the London Plan SPG, a good quality playable space should provide safe access to physically accessible and inclusive facilities that are stimulating and fun. A good place to play needs a number of key elements:

• space (adequate space integrated into the Proposed Development);

• location and accessibility (well-located spaces near homes, schools and

accessible routes);

• an environment that encourages healthy lifestyles (access to opportunities for

children to participate in physical activities that are appropriate for their age and

stage of development);

• inclusion (minimise barriers to accessible play);

• diversity in lifetime neighbourhoods (providing for the needs of children of

different age, sex, ethnicity, religion and level of ability);

• playable space in a child-friendly city (designing for ‘and ‘play value’ through

fixed equipment, informal recreation activities or engaging landscaping features);

• access to nature (access to both existing and new wildlife habitats should be

enhanced for children);



• safety and security (good places for play should include a degree of physical

challenge and allow managed opportunities for children and young people to

take risks); and

• management and maintenance (an effective regime should be in place).

5.31 Policy and guidance also encourages the shared community use of school facilities (London Plan paragraph 3.113, Core Strategy policy CS10 and Sport England guidance) for a range of community activities, such as pre or after school cultural and other sports activities.



6. Proposed Strategies – Meeting Identified Need

Open Space

6.1 In line with the identified needs and policy requirements, and as illustrated by the diagrams at Appendix VII, the open space strategy for the Proposed Development includes the following:

• A minimum of 4 hectares of publicly accessible open space across the Peel

Centre Site providing a high quality environment for future residents, promoting

healthy lifestyles and improving access to open space for the wider Colindale

population.

• New public open spaces distributed throughout the Site in a variety of different

types and sizes, from pocket parks and small open spaces, to a new Local Park.

• Spaces linked together with tree lined streets that are safe for walking and

cycling, creating a network of green spaces within the Site and forming a major

component of the wider green network in Colindale.

• A new 2.26 ha Local Park forming the green communal heart of the

development, incorporating the full variety of uses. It will consist predominantly of

informal recreation space, with flexible pitch provision, natural landscaped areas

and structured play space for children of all ages.

• A new pedestrian link to the south of the park will introduce access to the

development for residents to the south on Colindeep Lane and beyond. The park

will therefore be easily accessible for the wider population of Colindale, linking

into the wider network of green space and the 'Green Ring' envisaged for the

area.

• New civic squares announcing the key gateways to the Site at the western and

north-eastern ends with a more formal public realm in the areas with highest

footfall. This will also provide flexible space for a variety of community uses at the

western end, adjacent to the new Colindale town centre.

• New pocket parks lining the southern edge of the Site will be accessible to all and

not dedicated to a particular block. These multifunctional spaces will provide

informal recreation, community growing and natural features. They will provide a

pleasant pedestrian link to the Colindale underground station.



• A network of new small open spaces throughout the Site along the central spine

road, providing ‘breathing spaces’ along the route. These spaces will encompass

a variety of uses, including informal recreation space, children's play, flower

gardens and seating.

• New 'London Square' type spaces to the west (West Square), along the central

part of the spine and in the eastern end (East Square) will respond to the mansion

block housing that surround them. These will include seating and tree planting,

flower gardens, lawn space and children's play.

• Communal amenity spaces will be provided within blocks which, in combination

with the 4 hectares of publicly accessible open space, will provide the highest

level of outdoor amenity for the community.

6.2 Where it addresses all the previously identified policy requirements and needs, this is a policy compliant strategy for open space provision.

Sports Facilities

6.3 In line with the identified needs and policy requirements, and as illustrated by the diagrams at Appendix VIII, the sports strategy for the Proposed Development is as follows:

• New informal outdoor sports provision within the Local Park, with the ability to

accommodate a full sized cricket pitch and 2 x 7-a-side football pitches or a full

11-a-side senior pitch.

• Shared community/school use of the football and cricket pitch provision will meet

the informal needs of the local community and provide access to field sports for

the primary school. This will ensure that the space can be used for sports

throughout the year.

• An informal approach to the design of pitches will provide flexibility to response to

the future needs of the community, with the ability to provide a senior football

pitch if the demand arises.

• A site wide management company responsible for the spaces and sports facilities

will ensure the on-going quality and long term maintenance of the facilities and

will consult with the community to ensure that the informal pitch provision aligns

with the desired usage.



• A new MUGA provided within the school will provide other sports and recreational

facilities for the primary school children.

• Community use of the MUGA outside of school hours (with direct access to the

Local Park) will provide other sports court facilities, for example tennis and

basketball, and play for older children.

• Meeting the needs of the future community while increasing access to sports for

the wider Colindale community through the combined provision of new sports

facilities in the Local Park, MUGA, routes and smaller spaces across the Site.

• New walking, jogging, cycling and a full trim trail circuit around the site will

encourage healthy lifestyles, providing pleasant and convenient informal

recreational routes which connect the open spaces and the wider Colindale

area.

6.4 Where is addresses all the previously identified policy requirements and needs, this is a policy compliant strategy for sports and recreational provision.

Play

6.5 In line with the identified needs and policy requirements, and as illustrated by the diagrams at Appendix IX, the play strategy for the Proposed Development is as follows:

• New pedestrian routes will allow access for future residents to a number of existing

play spaces in the vicinity of the Site which cater to the communities immediately

surrounding.

• New on-site provision will however provide for the needs of the future community

on-site with space identified for the required 7,042 sqm of children’s play – the

final quantum will be determined for the outline components at Reserved Matters

stage.

• A variety of new play spaces will be distributed throughout the development,

giving opportunities for a variety of play experiences for all ages of children,

including a multifunctional playable space (circa 2,309 sqm), a MUGA (circa 825

sqm) and a series of doorstep playable spaces.

• Play will be integrated with other open space uses to ensure that spaces are safe

active throughout the day.



• The new Local Park will combine neighbourhood play facilities and incidental play

alongside informal sports facilities and recreation.

• A range of play structures, environments and experiences will be provided which

are not restricted to standard items of equipment. The Park and smaller spaces

offer spatially rich and topographically varied spaces to encourage free play and

exploration.

• Play for 0-4 year olds will be provided within a series of doorstep playable spaces

distributed throughout the Site in close proximity to homes, in the Pocket Parks

along the southern boundary, in the West and East Squares (and/or within

communal areas where necessary) providing secure spaces with natural

surveillance.

• Play for 5-11 year olds and over 11s will be provided within a multifunctional space

within Local Park at the heart of the development. This neighbourhood play space

will include formal equipment with active play, and the wider space in the Local

Park will provide for informal play, with space for meeting and 'hanging-out'.

• Informal and incidental play areas will be provided throughout the site in areas of

open and naturalised space, meeting the objectives for improving access to

biodiversity and nature for children and young people.

• Out of hours community access to the MUGA will particularly benefit the 5-11 and

over 11s age groups in providing space for ball sports.

6.6 Where is addresses all the previously identified policy requirements and needs, this is a policy compliant strategy for play provision.



7. Summary and Conclusion

7.1 Below is a summary of the key conclusions within this report. In conclusion, the proposed strategies are informed by existing available provision, policies and identified needs, and represent exceptional quality to serve the future and existing community of Colindale.

Existing Sports Facilities

• The existing playing fields and sports facilities within the former MPS training site

have historically been used by the MPS and are not publicly accessible; and

• Adopted planning policy allows specifically for the loss of the playing fields and

sports facilities to make way for a residential-led mixed use redevelopment. This

policy position is established within an up to date adopted development plan

which has been subject to public examination.

Open Spaces

• There are a good range of existing open spaces within the accessibility

catchments of the Site. These are generally of fair to good quality, welcoming and

clean, contain good quality facilities, and are accessible (with the exception of

Rushgrove Park which has poor accessibility);

• The Site is not within the accessibility catchment of a Regional Park and therefore

provision should be made for new green infrastructure within the development.

New green infrastructure should integrate into the wider network and contribute

towards the creation of a ‘Green Grid’, with a network spaces and streets;

• The Site is not within an area of identified open space deficiency locally, however

there is a policy requirement to provide new open space within the Site, and a

need identified for 4 hectares including a new 2 ha Local Park and other local /

pocket parks, to support the future population of the Site and wider Colindale

area;

• New spaces should be distributed throughout the Site, providing a range of

facilities and experiences (sports, passive recreation, play and informal recreation,

community food gardens, trees, natural features and biodiversity, climate change

adaptation);



• The Proposed Development provides over 4 hectares of publicly accessible open

space, with a variety of different spaces distributed throughout the Site, including

a 2.26 ha Local Park, civic squares, London parks and pocket parks. The new

spaces provide a multitude of functions, including recreation, community growing

and natural features;

• New spaces are linked with a network of tree lined streets which open up

connections with the wider neighbourhoods and network of open spaces; and

• Communal amenity spaces will also be provided within blocks, further enhancing

the quality of the environment and encouraging healthy lifestyles.

Sports Facilities

• There are a range of indoor and outdoor sports facilities (including pitches and

courts for various sporting activities) within walking distance of the Site;

• The majority of these facilities have available capacity to support increased

usage, with the exception of the cricket pitch at Sunny Hill Park and one of the 9-

a-side football pitches at Montrose Park;

• The facilities are generally of fair to good quality, with the exception of the cricket

pitch at Sunny Hill Park, the football pitches at Copthall Playing Fields (closed for

improvement works and due to be open for 2014/15 season) and Montrose Park

(programme of improvements planned by LBB);

• The Site is not within an area of identified deficiency in access to sports facilities

locally (Borough scale); however, there is a localised deficiency in the provision of

football pitches and other sports facilities in the Opportunity Area and a policy

requirement to provide new facilities within the Local Park. Need has been

identified for football pitches (1-senior and 1 seven-a-side), a MUGA and shared

sports facilities with the school within the Site, as well as play areas and courts

within pocket parks and linked walking, cycling and trim trail routes;

• The Proposed Development provides flexible informal sports pitches within the

Local Park which can accommodate a full sized cricket pitch, 2 seven-a-side

pitches, or a full sized 11-a-side football pitch;

• It is proposed that these would be shared with the primary school and will be

managed by a single management company who will consult the community on

their needs;



• A new MUGA is provided within the school providing out of hours access for the

community to sports courts and play; and

• New walking, jogging, cycling routes and a full trim tail circuit provided around the

Site will encourage healthy lifestyles and the creation of a Lifetime

Neighbourhood.

Play

• There is good provision of formal play facilities (including NEAPs and LEAPs) within

walking distance of the Site which will be available to the future community;

• The majority of these have a fair level of accessibility, with the exception of

Rushgrove Park;

• The population will yield approximately 704 children with an associated

quantitative requirement (based on the GLA calculator) for 7,042 sqm of

children’s play space;

• The Site is not within an area of identified deficiency in access to open space

locally (Borough scale); however, there is a policy requirement to provide new

play facilities within the Local Park. Specific need has been identified for a NEAP

and a number of LEAPs distributed throughout the new open spaces and pocket

parks;

• Play should be provided as part of multifunctional open spaces, with shared

recreational opportunities for all ages. Good quality playable space should be

provided which are accessible and fun. Play value can be generated through

fixed equipment, but also informal recreation opportunities and engaging

landscaping features;

• The Proposed Development provides improved access to existing facilities in the

wider area, and the capacity to accommodate the required 7,042 sqm of play

space if required (quantum to be determined through Reserved Matters);

• A variety of play spaces and experiences will be distributed throughout the Site for

all ages, including a multifunctional playable space (circa 2,309 sqm), a MUGA

(circa 825 sqm) and a series of doorstep playable spaces; and

• A variety of experiences will be provided through structured, informal recreation

and incidental play, within naturalised spaces to improve access to nature for

children.
