Reasons for
recommendations
The provision of an additional 3G artificial
grass football pitch (AGP) in Chorley is supported by the Playing
Pitch Strategy and subsequent adopted Open Space, Sports and Recreation Strategy (OSSR) which
identifies a shortfall of four AGP pitches across Chorley.
 
The delivery of the AGP by Euxton Villa
Football Club will deliver measurable community outputs which the
club will commit to as part of the grant (as set out in the
Community Outcomes document included in full at Appendix
4). 
 
Other options
considered and rejected
Consideration was given to refusing Euxton
Villa FC’s request for funding support. However, the OSSRA
evidence base maintains there is a shortage of 4 AGP’s across
Chorley and there are limited potential sites in Chorley which are
suitable for an AGP. In addition, the Euxton Villa site is
supported by the Lancashire Football Association and Football
Foundation.
