Notice Information

Notice Title

Willingham Multi Use Games Area Project

Notice Description

In 2009 initial plans for a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) on Willingham recreation ground were drawn up by the Willingham Sports Council but shortly afterwards the Sports Council was disbanded and the plans shelved. When ring-fenced S106 money for public open spaces from the new developments became available, the Parish Council agreed that resurrecting the MUGA plans was a priority. The aim would be to provide a fenced all-weather surface with floodlights to allow year-round use. Following a public consultation in 2019 and various designs, surveys and planning applications since, the final agreed proposal was for the construction of a tennis and netball court with floodlighting together with a flood plain compensation scheme. This development is financed through the use of Section 106 contributions from recently developed new housing developments within the Willingham Parish. The use of this finance is consistent with the requirements for spending section 106 contributions towards the development and use of Public Open Space, which meets strategic local need for more floodlight training pitches for use all year round across the District and as defined in the Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire Playing Pitch Strategy 2015-2031 for South Cambridgeshire and Cambridge City adopted in June 2016 which aims to provide a strategy which addresses the needs of the community and ensure that the right facilities are available to support the various sports played int the area. Planning Application Reference: 26/00382/FUL Planning Permission has been granted with reference to the above application number, with all associated documents provided on the Greater Cambridge Planning Portal. However, the key appendices have been included within the tender pack, which does form some conditions that the Principal Contractor will be responsible for submitting for approval prior to any Works commencing. Please review all the tender documents and submit a response electronically and hard copies by the due date and time.
