Feasibility and site assessment

Demand, competition, catchment, access and site size determine whether a facility is viable. Early engagement with governing bodies and funders can help shape the brief.

Planning and access

Highways, parking, noise, lighting and visual impact are common planning issues, particularly near homes or in the Green Belt.

Operational and technical design

Clear spans, playing surfaces, lighting, ventilation, acoustics, changing provision and accessibility all influence cost and user experience.
