This is the Local Football Facility Plan (LFFP) for Solihull. It was prepared by Knight, Kavanagh and Page (KKP) with support from local partners, including:
Every local area in the Country will have a LFFP to enable investment in football facilities to be accurately targeted.
The Football Association, the Premier League and Sport England (on behalf of Government). This partnership finances the National Football Facility Strategy (NFFS) and commissions the Football Foundation to deliver it.
The national funding partners have significantly increased investment to accelerate efforts to deliver more and better football facilities for the grassroots game. The purpose of this plan is to identify the priority projects for potential investment in Solihull.
As the nation’s most popular team sport, football has the power to contribute positively to vital social outcomes and health priorities. To maximise this power, facilities have to be welcoming environments to attract first-time users and repeat visits, whether for informal, recreational or competitive football.
Research clearly and continually demonstrates the positive impact high-quality football facilities, in the right locations, can have on participation and enjoyment. Latent demand exists, but facility quantity and quality has to ‘step up’ if football is to reach out to everyone.
£1.3billion has been spent by football and Government since 2000 to enhance existing football facilities and build new ones. However, more is needed if football and Government’s shared objectives for participation, individual well-being and community cohesion are to be achieved.
Nationally, direct investment will be increased – initially to £69 million per annum from football and Government (a 15% increase on recent years). Locally, the work has already started* - this LFFP will guide the allocation of 90% of national funds and forge stronger partnerships with local stakeholders to develop key sites. This, together with local match-funding will deliver over one billion pounds of investment into football facilities over the next ten years.
This LFFP, with guidance from local partners, has developed a list of high level projects for potential investment. Each is aligned to the investment priorities set out in the National Football Facilities Strategy, which include:
The priority projects for potential investment identified in this plan will help develop a sustainable network of quality facilities to drive participation across all parts of the game. Central to this are five key success factors: quality, inclusivity, sustainability, engagement and usage. Each identified project takes account of these factors.
This LFFP will, in effect, be the go-to document for football facility investment in Solihull.
Whilst it identifies priority projects for potential investment, it does not guarantee the success of future funding applications. Each project must still follow an application process to show how it will deliver key participation outcomes, become a quality & sustainable facility and demonstrate suitable match-funding.
When each project is in a position to proceed, the Football Foundation will determine a suitable timeframe to submit a grant application and pre-application support will be provided by Birmingham County FA and the Football Foundation.
A LFFP is an investment portfolio of priority projects for potential investment - it is not a detailed demand and supply analysis of all pitch provision in a local area. It cannot be used as a replacement for a Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS) and it will not be accepted as an evidence base for site change of use or disposal.
A LFFP will however build on available/existing local evidence and strategic plans and may adopt relevant actions from a PPS and/or complement these with additional investment priorities.

Solihull is in the West Midlands region. The current population of the Authority (ONS 2017 Mid-Year Estimate) is 213,933, which is expected to rise to 236,598 by 2039.
27.0% of the Solihull population is within NS SEC classification 6-8 (lower socio-economic groups) which is slightly lower than the national average of 30.6%.
Solihull’s ethnic composition is primarily classed as White (89.15%) which is higher than the national average (85.4%).
The proportion of Solihull’s population represented by the BAME community is 10.85%. This is below the national average (14.6%).
*ONS data and Sport England Active Lives survey 2016/17
Solihull Local Plan: Shaping a Sustainable Future (2011-2028)
The purpose of the Plan (adopted December 2013) is to set out the long-term spatial vision for how Solihull's towns, villages and countryside will develop and change over the plan period (2011-2028) and how this vision will be delivered through a strategy for promoting, distributing and delivering sustainable development and growth. The plan strategy promotes economic and job growth in the Borough and provides new housing to meet the Borough’s needs, as well as land for other activities including retail, sport and leisure. The Strategy aims to conserve and improve the character and quality of the environment, an important component of the Borough’s attractiveness to investment and success.
The local authority has a Playing Pitch Strategy in place; this was produced in 2017. This research revealed a shortfall of all formats of grass pitches and a potential future shortfall of nine full-size 3G FTPs.
Solihull is covered by Birmingham County FA which provides governance and development support to all aspects of local football including coaches, referees, volunteers, clubs and leagues; supporting football for all. The County FA has a designated facilities investment lead officer who works to ensure the right facilities are located in the right locations.
The Regional Engagement Manager and Regional Technical Project Manager at the Football Foundation work collaboratively with the County FA to provide pre-application support to priority projects for potential investment.
*See Football Foundation website for more information: http://www.footballfoundation.org.uk/impact/where-our-money-goes
Has a network of planning managers who have a statutory role in the planning system to protect playing fields and provide consultation responses to planning applications relating to sporting facilities. They also play a key role in strategic planning for sports facilities, providing advice and support to local authorities to assess need for facilities in their local area.
These continue to expand and enhance their range of community delivery, offering a variety of programmes and services to support local communities (sporting and non-sporting). Solihull Moors FC and Birmingham City FC both run a variety of health, education, engagement, football and sporting activities within the local area.
Everyone Active is the key leisure operator in Solihull. The organisation currently operates two key sites including Tudor Grange Leisure Centre and North Solihull Sports Centre. There is a 3G FTP at Tudor Grange and a sand based AGP at North Solihull Leisure Centre. Both facilities are well used for affiliated training and recreational football.
This has taken place with a broad and diverse set of community groups in Solihull. 15 individuals (representing 11 local organisations) were consulted. These include:
(See Appendix B for full list of consultees)
There are over 91,000 community football teams in England, spread over an expansive network of clubs and leagues. Solihull has a total of 478 teams, which is comparable to local areas of a similar size.
The FA is investing to support clubs both on and off the pitch which includes an aim to have a qualified FA coach with every youth team by 2020/21. In addition, it will support 1,000 clubs to create full player pathways from youth to adult teams and develop 150 community football hubs with male and female pathways, disability and recreational playing opportunities.
Over the last 10-years there has been a significant national increase in the number of large multi-team football clubs. In Solihull, 13 clubs have more than 10 registered teams. The largest of these (based upon 2017-18 affiliation data) are:
*The FA Whole Game System 2017/18
Four leagues operate in Solihull. They offer competitive opportunities for many different players, including women and girls, youth and adults. While there are no specific league opportunities for disability football within Solihull, there is however suitable provision provided in neighbouring Birmingham.
Solihull's largest local leagues (2017-18) include:
The County FA reports that there is some cross boundary migration in Solihull due to teams migrating outwards to the Birmingham & District Football League, Coventry & Warwickshire u7/u8 Football League and the Coventry and Warwickshire Youth Football League.
There are 9.4 million people in England with a long-standing limiting disability, illness or condition which equates to 18% of the population – almost one in five. Football playing opportunities should be flexible, inclusive and accessible for everyone, whatever their level of ability. This could entail inclusion in mainstream activity or teams / sessions specifically for people with a disability.
In Solihull there are eight football teams / sessions specifically for people with a disability. It is a priority of the County FA to grow and sustain this provision. For talented players the FA runs Regional Centres and England national squads.
The FA has big ambitions for the female game and aims to double levels of participation by 2020. To achieve this requires a combined effort across four pathways: education, recreation, competition and talent.
Education environments have a huge impact on the first experience of football for young girls. This pathway can offer many opportunities for females of all ages to develop and grow a lifelong interest in football.
FA Wildcats girls football centres provide the first step on the recreational pathway, the programme provides girls aged 5-11 with regular opportunities to play football in a fun and engaging environment. Solihull has one FA Wildcats girls football centre and the priority is to grow this activity.
At 29, Solihull’s number of female teams is lower than local areas of a similar size. The County FA’s priority is to support existing clubs to grow and encourage more clubs to develop playing opportunities for females. The local girls league is the Central Warwickshire Girls & Woman's League and matches are played on a home and away basis. The league is expected to grow its provision in future years. The local adult female league is the Birmingham County Womens League and matches are played on a home and away basis, and the league is expected to grow its provision in future years.
For talented players, the most local FA Regional Talent Club (RTC) is Birmingham City or Aston Villa Ladies which is located in Birmingham and Redditch. Higher level talent pathway opportunities are also provided regionally and nationally by the FA, culminating in the England Women’s national squads. The most local Women’s Super League team is Birmingham City Ladies which provides player pathway opportunities for gifted and talented female players and a spectator interest for fans.
Many different types of small-sided football are played in England, from teams and leagues to recreational and informal. It is an established and important part of the modern game.
Small-sided teams & leagues are organised and competitive activities; typically with players registered to clubs and affiliated to leagues and their County FAs. Examples include Futsal and local small-sided leagues running at venues such as sports halls, 3G FTPs or small-sided 3G centres.
Key local providers include:
Futsal is an exciting, fast-paced, small sided team game that is widely played across the world. Typically it’s played on an indoor surface with hockey-sized goals and a size 4 football with reduced ball bounce. It is the FA’s aim to ensure Futsal is available across the country.
There are currently no futsal teams in Solihull. It is a priority for the County FA to grow Futsal for all players .
Recreational football is played where facilities are typically booked and there might be someone to help organise. Examples include FA Just Play sessions, walking football and casual pitch hire for small-sided match play.
There are currently two FA Just Play Centres in Solihull. Walking football sessions are delivered by a range of community organisation such as Solihull Walking Football. Walking football and Just Play are areas that the County FA has prioritised for further growth and development. Other local recreational football programmes include Man v Fat and pro-club community scheme activity which are delivered by a range of organisations including Man v Fat and Solihull Moors Community.
Informal football is played in local parks and green spaces – it is free, open access and often played spontaneously (normal clothing is worn). Common examples include a kick-about at a local park or on a multi-use games area (MUGA).
The key strengths of local football in Solihull include mini, youth and adult provision and it is recommend that this is sustained and also encouraged to grow further. However, gaps in provision do exist, these include women and girls, disability football and Futsal.
It is therefore recommended that the future football development priorities for Solihull are:
1. Retain and grow women & girls football
2. Retain and grow disability football
3. Retain and grow Futsal
4. Retain and grow recreational Football
5. Retain and grow Wildcats Centres
The facilities required to assist this are now set out in the Assets and Opportunities section.
Additionally, each priority project that progresses to a funding application via the Football Foundation will produce a detailed ‘site development plan’ specifying all football development activity, usage and key partner engagement.

This section reviews existing football facility assets in Solihull. It identifies current issues and presents opportunities for improvements, including a list of priority projects for potential investment.
Local assets and opportunities have been reviewed inline with four investment priorities:
To ensure a consistent and high quality approach, each local area has been reviewed applying a standard approach, supplemented by input from consultation with local partners and stakeholder organisations.
While each investment priority is reviewed individually, it is understood that they can be inter-reliant; account is, thus, taken of these potential connections.
04
3G FTPs are a high quality and indispensable part of modern football facilities; their impact cannot be underestimated. In recent years the industry has seen major innovations and improvements to artificial surfaces (and sports lighting). This has created playing surfaces that replicate a good standard natural turf pitch whilst significantly increasing levels of use (x20). All FTPs must have sports lighting to achieve this.
The high quality, consistent playing surface is the ideal environment to play the game and for young people to learn. With regular maintenance programmes, FTPs can be heavily used all year round with no decline in quality. They almost completely negate annoying fixture cancellations during winter months, helping football to be a key part of a regular physical activity habit.
High capacity levels offer a great opportunity to embrace all formats and engage all participants. A full-sized 3G caters for an average of 1,200 participants per week and is suitable for various location types. That means being fully inclusive to all sections of the community, with a particular focus on under-represented groups such as women and girls, people with a disability, BAME communities and people from lower socio-economic groups.
The way 3G FTPs are used is rapidly changing; current line-marking systems allow for match play across all formats of football (5v5, 7v7, 9v9 and 11v11). This enables significant levels of match-play to be transferred from grass to 3G.
The national ‘Mini Pitch’ programme delivers small 3G FTPs at primary school sites to provide a high quality introduction to football and get children more physically active. While mini pitches are reviewed in this section, they are not included in the demand and supply analysis for 3G FTPs.
FA data states that there are currently three community accessible full size 3G FTPs in Solihull; this is a shortfall of six pitches (future demand of 9) relative to assessed demand and PPS evidence base.
Existing 3G FTPs in Solihull include:
Additionally, there are currently no small-sided 3G FTP centres in Solihull.
All of the pitches are available for community use. The pitch at John Henry Newman Catholic College is on the FA Register for 3G FTPs (meaning it is quality checked and can be used for football match play). It is strongly recommend that the two remaining pitches are on the register to enable more match play on 3G.
The geographical spread of existing facilities is uneven; the majority are located in the north of the local area. There are provision gaps in south and central areas of the Borough despite high levels of population in these areas and it is recommended that these are addressed.
Local consultation reveals common issues with low availability and long travel distances to FTPs. It is recommended that these are addressed.
Seven priority projects for potential investment have been identified, these include two either/or scenarios. Undersupply was calculated using the FA 3G FTP demand and supply model and PPS evidence base. Each site was selected by local partners based on a rationale of good access, high population, geographical spread, and success and quality of existing facilities. One either/or alternative site option has also been identified by the steering group:
1 - Solihull Moors FC (The Automated Technology Group Stadium) - new 11v11 floodlit 3G FTP
2 - North Solihull Sports Centre - new 11v11 floodlit 3G FTP (resurface of existing sand based AGP)
3 - Tudor Grange Academy - new 11v11 floodlit 3G FTP
4 - Arden Academy - new 11v11 floodlit 3G FTP (either/or project with Knowle FC)
5 - Knowle FC (new site) - new 11v11 floodlit 3G FTP (either/or project with Arden academy)
6 - Dickens Heath Sports Hub - new double 11v11 floodlit 3G FTP
7 - Grace Academy - new 7v7 floodlit 3G FTP (resurface of existing sand based AGP)
8 - Smiths Wood Academy- new 7v7 floodlit 3G FTP (resurface of existing sand based AGP)

Playing fields are one of the most important resources for sport in England. All football players should have the opportunity to play on good quality grass pitches. However, FA data shows that 63% of pitches in England are poor / low standard and 1 in 6 games are cancelled. As such, poor pitch quality is consistently cited as the number one issue for players.
The priority is, therefore, to sustainably improve grass pitch quality across all main pitch owners (local authorities, education establishments and clubs). However, the level of maintenance required to obtain good quality standards is regularly affected by restricted budgets and limited knowledge/ training. Compaction and grass coverage are two key causes of poor quality pitches. Both are commonly treated via a maintenance driven solution (and do not necessarily require costly drainage schemes).
Playing fields are also a valuable resources for informal play and open-access sites are encouraged but, for many, problems such as dog fouling and vandalism mean that they need to be protected with mitigation measures such as fencing.
In many local areas the key challenge is to create a sustainable approach to provide good quality football pitches for the long-term. Many local authorities (78%) intend to increase pitch hire fees in the future. However, many players (63%) believe facilities are already expensive and some (16%) believe prices are prohibitive. A sustainable solution should, therefore, carefully balance pitch quality and affordability.
While the education sector (37%) and local authorities (32%) are still the principal asset owners of grass pitches, clubs / leagues own or maintain an increasing share (currently 25%). Assets and opportunities have been considered across each sector.
Although large (3+ pitch) strategic sites are important and make up much of the project list within the LFFPs, this does not mean that other club, league and community/voluntary sites are not important or eligible for funding. These sites are key to the Football Foundation's Grass Pitch Programme to deliver 20,000 good quality pitches.

The PitchPower app is the gateway to any grass pitch improvement funding. It is the tool that will allow clubs and organisations to complete pitch inspections and access funds.
If you haven't signed up and completed a PitchPower pitch inspection, you will need to do this before you can apply for the Grass Pitch Maintenance Fund.

PitchFinder/PPS data indicates that there are currently 28 grass pitch sites in Solihull with three or more full-size pitch equivalents containing 114 grass pitches.
Of these sites two are considered to have good quality pitches, 21 are of standard quality and five poor quality.
Local consultation shows common issues with poor quality and it is recommended that these are addressed.
12 priority projects for potential investment have been identified. Due to the significant number of grass pitch sites in Solihull local partners did not select all sites and prioritised only 12, containing 38 full-size pitch equivalents. This plan also includes two sites with two full size pitch equivalents and two potential sites for pitch development. The prioritisation was informed by local partners with the rationale of selecting sites that were most well utilised and of the highest strategic importance:
5 - Knowle FC (new site) - works to natural grass pitches (pitch development)
6 - Dickens Heath Sports Hub (new multi sport club site, location TBC) - works to natural grass pitches (pitch development)
*site not listed on map below.
9- Chelmsley Town Football Club - works to natural grass pitches
10 - Balsall & Berkswell Football Club - works to natural grass pitches
11 - Lugtrout Lane (Glades FC) - works to natural grass pitches
12 - Sihillians Sports Club - works to natural grass pitches
13 - The Pavilions - works to natural grass pitches
14 - Elmdon Heath Recreation Ground - works to natural grass pitches
15 - Bluebell Recreation Ground - works to natural grass pitches
16 - Castle Bromwich Playing Fields - works to natural grass pitches
17 - Hockley Heath Recreation Ground - works to natural grass pitches
29 - Heart of England School - works to natural grass pitches

These can provide a number of different benefits. While the primary function is normally the provision of changing rooms to accommodate match-play and training (for players and officials), there can be equal value in facilities such as community and education rooms, catering facilities and spectator toilets.
Each project will take a progressive approach to pavilions and clubhouses (beyond the provision of changing rooms) and be open to new opportunities to engage the whole community. That means, creating environments that are welcoming to players, spectators, volunteers, officials and all sections of the community.
Such assets should support other investment priorities (e.g. 3G FTPs and grass pitches) and be located at sites that will have the greatest impact on local communities. To ensure this, focus is given to sites with three or more full-size pitch equivalents. However, as pitch quality is the number one priority for players this is prioritised before investment in changing room pavilions /clubhouses.
Clearly, facilities need to be well managed and maintained to keep them in a good state of repair. Consideration will be given to reviewing the best operator solution for key sites and the installation of revenue generating features such as catering facilities and community rooms. To achieve this, business plan support will be given to each priority project as it progresses to an application to the Football Foundation.
Of the 28 key sites with three or more full-size pitch equivalents in Solihull, 23 have suitable changing room pavilions/clubhouses, four have facilities that need improvement/ replacement and one has no facilities and requires a new changing pavilion. The LFFP steering group also decided to include one site with less than three full size pitch equivalents and two sites which have potential to be developed in the future. All three of these sites are viewed as being strategically important for affiliated football in Solihull.
Seven priority projects for potential investment have therefore been identified. Each project has either no facilities or was deemed to have an unsuitable pavilion:
5 - Knowle FC (new site) - new changing pavilion
6 - Dickens Heath Sport Hub (new multi sport club site, location TBC) - new changing pavilion
*site not listed on map below.
11 - Lugtrout Lane (Glades FC) - refurbish changing pavilion
13 - The Pavilions - refurbish changing pavilion
16 - Castle Bromwich Playing Fields - refurbish changing pavilion
17 - Hockley Heath Recreation Ground - refurbish Changing Pavilion
18 - Highgate United Football Club - refurbish Changing Pavilion
07
Good facilities are important to all small-sided football players, but it is important to understand the different formats of the small-sided game and the various facility types they relate to.
Research suggests that small-sided players in teams & leagues, and in recreational sessions, prefer a 3G surface type because it replicates a good standard natural turf pitch. These facilities have already been covered in the 3G FTP section of this LFFP.
Indoor environments currently accommodate 20% of football participation and are also popular with players in teams & leagues and recreational sessions . Indoor sports halls are most popular, along with some community halls and indoor 3G centres. Environments need to be engaging, have clear line-marking and the correct size goalposts.
Informal players require facilities that are open and free to access as this enables play opportunities that are often spontaneous. In these circumstances multi-use games areas (MUGAs) can be effective in areas of high urban population and limited green space. Such facilities can be modern, bright, creative and engaging. While this plan will identify suitable locations for such facilities, the design and specifics of the facility type can be agreed at a later stage with Football Foundation staff when projects are ready to progress to pre-application stage.
Parks and open green spaces are also important to informal play and require goalposts and zones that are free from litter and dog fouling.
Local consultation reveals there are two indoor facilities that require improvement to develop small-sided football:
16 - Castle Bromwich Playing Fields - refurbished indoor football facility
19 - CTC Kinghurst Academy - refurbished Indoor football facility
Six potential opportunities for MUGAs have been identified. In each case the rationale is based on the site being in an area of high urban population , high levels of deprivation, high levels of lower social economic groups and corresponding high local demand for informal football:
20 - Elmdon Park - new MUGA
21 - Lanchester Park - upgrade MUGA
22 - Chapelhouse Recreation Ground - upgrade MUGA
23 - Meriden Park - new MUGA
24 - Shirley Park - upgrade MUGA
25 - Willow Park - upgrade MUGA
Following local consultation, three locations have been identified to support small-sided informal football. Here, the rationale is based on highly popular local parks and open green spaces with suitable space / areas to increase informal football:
26 - Babbs Mill Park - informal football provision
27 - Stockley Crescent - informal football provision
28 - Tudor Grange Park - informal football provision
08
This list compiles all of the priority projects for potential investment. Each project has been scored against two principle factors: deliverability and outcomes (quality, inclusivity, sustainability, engagement and usage).
The list will be used flexibly; a projects ‘rating’ does not determine the exact order that it will progress to a funding application to the Football Foundation as we understand there are many factors that influence this. The process for moving a project from this list and into the ‘pre-application stage’ will be managed by the Football Foundation.
