Sport England's Playing Pitch Calculator was used to calculate future demand generated from six strategic development locations. The Action Plan identified a range of on-site and off-site contributions these developments could deliver, to help meet demand. This included the development of two sports hubs within the borough.  - Development of the strategy involved conducting 92 site assessments to determine pitch quality and consultations with 60 sports clubs, 28 schools, and 14 Town and Parish Councils.  - The strategy was developed in line with Sport England’s PPS guidance and was signed off by the steering group, which consisted of the Council, Sport England, and NGBs. - The site-by-site action plan identified the current status of sites included in the study and what their future recommendations were (Protect, Enhance, or Provide), to ensure that the shortfalls identified could be met. The Council were also provided with training to update the PPS database as part of the Stage E process. - Since the strategy was adopted, one of the 3G priorities identified in the Action Plan has been delivered at Berkshire Couty Sports Club (a project also supported by FMG), and the Council has been carrying out feasibility studies on the two proposed hub sites.  - Recent - Topics - Archive Recent Topics - [Case Studies (41)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/tag/case-studies) - [Blog (13)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/tag/blog) - [Strategy (4)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/tag/strategy) - [Delivery (2)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/tag/delivery) - [Training & development (2)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/tag/training-development) Archive - [May 2026 (2)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2026/05) - [January 2026 (1)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2026/01) - [December 2025 (2)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2025/12) - [November 2025 (2)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2025/11) - [October 2025 (2)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2025/10) - [August 2025 (1)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2025/08) - [July 2025 (30)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2025/07) - [June 2025 (6)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2025/06) - [December 2024 (1)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2024/12) - [November 2024 (1)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2024/11) - [October 2024 (1)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2024/10) - [September 2024 (2)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2024/09) - [July 2024 (1)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2024/07) - [June 2024 (1)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2024/06) - [May 2024 (1)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2024/05) See all ### Subscribe by email Share this [Share on Twitter](https://twitter.com/share?url=https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/wokingham-borough-council&text=Wokingham%20Borough%20Council) [Share on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/wokingham-borough-council&t=Wokingham%20Borough%20Council) [Share on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/wokingham-borough-council&t=Wokingham%20Borough%20Council) Previous story [← North Northamptonshire Council](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/north-northamptonshire-council) Next story [Football Foundation Football Hubs - Specialist Areas →](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/football-foundation) ## You May Also Like These Related Stories [Cheltenham Borough Council](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/cheltenham-borough-council) ![Cheltenham Borough Council](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/hubfs/Images/Cheltenham-Borough-Council.webp) [Case Studies](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/tag/case-studies) ### Cheltenham Borough Council Jul 10, 2025 11:26:11 AM 1 min read [The Importance Of Having A Successful Playing Pitch Strategy](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/the-importance-of-a-pitch-strategy) ![A youth football match taking place on a well-maintained grass pitch, representing the importance of strategic planning, investment, and local consultation in delivering effective playing pitch strategies.](https://d37oebn0w9ir6a.cloudfront.net/account_54067/the-importance-of-having-a-successful-playing-pitch-strategy_bae27c133aab026eec6003f54c700dbe.jpg) [Strategy](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/tag/strategy) ### The Importance Of Having A Successful Playing Pitch Strategy Aug 27, 2025 9:30:00 AM 2 min read [Football Foundation Grass Pitch Pilots](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/football-foundation-grass-pitch-pilots) ![Football Foundation Grass Pitch Pilots](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/hubfs/Images/Football-Foundation-Grass-Pitch-Pilots.webp) [Case Studies](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/tag/case-studies) ### Football Foundation Grass Pitch Pilots Jul 10, 2025 11:48:38 AM 1 min read ### Get Email Notifications ### No Comments Yet Let us know what you think ![FMG Logo](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/hubfs/FMG%20Logo.svg) FMG Consulting Limited Bank House, Market Square Congleton, Cheshire CW12 1ET ![UK Flag](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/UK%20Flag.webp?width=40&height=20&name=UK%20Flag.webp) [0330 4000 481](tel:0330%204000%20481) ![Irish Flag](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Irish%20Flag.webp?width=40&height=20&name=Irish%20Flag.webp) [01 912 0079](tel:%200330%204000%20481) [info@fmgconsulting.co.uk](mailto:info@fmgconsulting.co.uk) Registered in England & Wales.
