Map 28: Personal share – swimming pools Facilities Planning Model The FPM provides information regarding how much demand for swimming pools is being met, where the highest levels of unmet demand are and how much demand is being exported and imported from neighbouring boroughs. Swimming Pools Run 1 - Current population and provision Based upon current population and facility provision Brent has the lowest number of pool sites and capacity 0 Brent Barnet Camden Ealing Hammersmith & Fullham across the study area (7 neighbouring boroughs). Brent has a capacity of 9,800 visits which equates to the total number of visits the swimming pools can have during peak hours, per week. This capacity depends on the size of the pools and how many hours of community use they allow. The FPM shows that demand outstrips supply considerably with demand in Brent representing 16,600 visits compared to a capacity of 9,800 visits. This means there is demand for swimming pools to accommodate 16,600 visits per week at peak times whereas currently the swimming pools can only accommodate 9,800 visits per week at peak times. This, therefore, means that a considerable proportion of Brent’s satisfied demand for swimming is exported to pools in neighbouring Ealing and Harrow - both of which have higher capacity than demand. To meet the demand for swimming which is not met by pools either in Brent or elsewhere would require the equivalent of 2 additional 4-lane pools in the borough. The FPM model has calculated this based on Brent having demand of 16,650 visits per week and only a capacity of 9800 visits. Once the demand which is exported to other boroughs is excluded 14% of demand remains unmet, equal to 2,250 visits or equivalent of two 4 lane 25 metre pools. However, in order for Brent to accommodate for higher numbers of people within Brent and reduce export demand, it is suggested that Brent requires two 6 lane 25 metre pools. Graph 6 illustrates the extent of unmet demand in Brent compared to neighbouring boroughs. Graph 6: levels of unmet and met demand, capacity and utilised capacity for swimming pools.

Chapter Six Indoor Sports Facility Provision Swimming pools Run 2 – Projected population and provision (2016) The second scenario demonstrates the impact on satisfied demand through an increase in pool provision by a further 3 pools planned for development across the study area (all outside of Brent). The findings show that within the study area an increase in capacity of visits is greater than the projected increase in demand. However, as the increase in capacity is to occur outside the borough boundary, unmet demand in Brent is predicted to be virtually the same in 2016 as in 2007. The projected population growth of 6.9% (19,000 people) will contribute to an increase in demand of 5.36% (and therefore unmet demand) for swimming. The map below identifies those key areas of unmet demand as Tokyngton, Stonebridge, Welsh Harp, Barnhill, Mapesbury, and Alperton (dark red, dark pink and black colour squares) with the wards in the north all showing high levels of unmet demand (light green colours). However the FPM report highlights that, “there are large areas of the borough, especially and virtually the whole of the middle and northern end of the borough which are outside the catchment area of any swimming pool”. Map 29: Unmet demand in 2016 - swimming pools Unmet demand in 1km square Expressed as SqM of water (rounded) 29 (1) 20 to 25 (2) 15 to 20 (4) 10 to 15 (7) 5 to 10 (30) >0 to 5 (82) % # The only significant differences from FPM run 1 to 2 is that there is an increase in export demand due to the proposed development in Ealing and a decrease in export going to Harrow. This has an effect on the utilisation of the swimming pools as the borough’s utilisation has decreased from 67% in 2007 to 61% in 2016 as our swimming pool stock ages further and the new facilities planned in Ealing will then draw people away from the boroughs facilities. The FPM identified that an increase in pool water of 287m² is needed across the study area, which is equivalent to a 25m 4 lane swimming pool (215m²). It was also noted that the location of the current swimming pools mean that a large majority of the borough’s residents don’t have access to a swimming pool and the capacity could be increased if the pool space was provided in other areas. The 2016 run indicated that despite the additional water space in other boroughs, Brent would still require the two additional 25 metre 4 lane pools as suggested in the 2007 run as demand is met elsewhere. However, again, in order to reduce export demand two 6 lane 25 metre swimming pools are required as Brent residents get additional benefits when using the boroughs own facilities. Sports Halls Sports halls are extremely important in the borough as they provide a multipurpose space for a variety of sports such as badminton, indoor football, netball, basketball, gymnastics as well as providing a space that can accommodate keep fit activities and martial arts. They can also be used for events/functions and are a vital community asset where localised activities can take place. Quantity Using the strategic planning tools, a sports hall is defined as an indoor multi-sports hall where a range of sport and recreational activities are carried out and where two or more of the sport and recreational activities must be from the Active Places list of ‘activities’, one or more of which must be on at least a weekly basis. One hall per site must be at least 10m x 18m, the size of one badminton court. Chapter Six - Indoor Sports Facility Provision 52
