Playing Fields
Purpose
This module focuses on playing fields – an important component of amenity and recreation space, though many such areas have been developed on in recent years, and their loss has become an important spatial planning concern.
Benefits
A critical aim of spatial planning is the provision and protection of amenity space, and playing fields are central to this aim in many areas. Compare recent English history in this area with the back yard mentality of Australian sports facility provision to put a 5-0 cricket scoreline into perspective.
Audience
Urban and regional planners and all those wishing to build and assess their knowledge of the topic.
Learning method
A knowledge builder which provides a background understanding to the loss of playing fields in recent times and subsequent changes in policy regulation. Additionally a range of further reading is provided for those who wish to become expert in the subject. Includes voluntary self assessment for recording continuous professional development (CPD).
