The toolkit outlines guidance to culture and sport planning based on the approach of spatial planning. It sets out a 5-stage process, which is fundamental to successful culture and sport planning.
The guidance sets out a 5-stage process with actions and key points of consideration for practitioners. It has been created to cover cultural and sporting projects, policies or programmes of all types and size. When more detailed analysis is required, as signposted throughout the guidance, reference should be made to the further advice at the end of each stage.
This section gives an overview of some of the options you might consider for infrastructure funding, it is by no means an exhaustive list. As the 5-Stage Process outlines, it ensures the financial sustainability of infrastructure development and ongoing maintenance. Revenue costs need to be considered from the earliest possible stage.
Across the English regions planning authorities, partnerships and communities are already actively engaged in planning for culture and sport. The toolkit draws on these good practices. It gives practical examples of effective culture and sport planning as part of building successful and vibrant communities.
