This is no. 2 in a series of background reports being prepared during 2002/03 to inform the revision of Sport 21, the national strategy for sport in Scotland.

This manual was commissioned to assist those setting up and running sports-based projects in the community, particularly in areas of deprivation such as the Social Inclusion Partnership areas in Scotland. It advises on: setting aims and objectives; lessons learned from good practice; and monitoring and evaluating projects to determine their impact on sporting and community outcomes. It is intended to be a practical manual that supports the principle of evidence-based policy - ‘what works and why?’ It should allow those running sports-based projects to demonstrate their impact.

The design issues are complex, even when the building form is not. Optimising natural daylight and integrating it with well designed electric light requires that the form, fabric, internal layout and systems of a building are considered holistically. Problems are real, including glare, overheating and local cooling. Variation in light quality and quantity can be unmanageable and fenestration can lead to unwelcome distractions. Care is required to ensure that inappropriate natural lighting and/or poor control does not give rise to thermal discomfort, which might increase the need for compensatory heating or cooling, or to visual discomfort or impediment.

Concerns about the loss of playing fields to built development resulted in the Scottish Office introducing new planning controls in 1997. This followed the publication of National Planning Policy Guideline 11 (NPPG 11) Sport, Physical Recreation and Open Space which highlighted this issue and made sportscotland a statutory consultee on all planning applications for development affecting playing fields. Despite these guidelines, development pressures on playing fields have not abated. This paper reviews our experience as a consultee and sets out a policy which sportscotland has adopted for the protection and improvement of playing fields.
