Playing Pitch Strategy

The Bradford Playing Pitch Strategy Assessment Report and Strategy may be found below. An interactive map showing the locations of all the different sports pitches mentioned in the report is also available.

The Strategy provides a clear, strategic framework for the maintenance and improvement of existing outdoor sports facilities and ancillary facilities until 2030. It will:

• Provide adequate planning guidance to assess development proposals affecting playing fields; 
• Inform land use decisions in respect of future use of existing outdoor sports areas and playing fields (capable of accommodating pitches) within the Borough; 
• Provide a strategic framework for the provision and management of outdoor sports in the Borough; 
• Support external funding bids and maximise support for outdoor and informal sports facilities; 
• Provide the basis for on-going monitoring and review of the use, distribution, function, quality and accessibility of outdoor sport.
