SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL Cabinet Report
Report of: Executive Director (Place) and
Executive Director (Children, Young People & Families)
Date: 08 May 2013
Subject: Future Use of Wisewood Secondary School &
Spider Park
Author of Report: Dave Mason (27 34617)
Summary: Following the decision to close Wisewood Secondary School and subsequent community consultation regarding the site’s future use, Cabinet authorised the Director of Property and Facilities Management (now Director of Capital & Major Projects) to develop a sustainable and suitable business case for the site that would deliver the priorities identified in the consultation. This report outlines work undertaken so far and recommends a swap of land uses between part of the former school site, on which a new children’s play area would be developed, and part of Spider Park, which would be sold and developed for housing to fund the new play area. The report also recommends the adoption of a sustainable solution for continued community use of the former Wisewood Secondary School playing fields.
Reasons for Recommendations: Implementing the proposals in this report would contribute towards the outcome of making Sheffield a Great Place to Live, as identified in Standing Up for Sheffield, the Council’s Corporate Plan.
Agenda Item 13
Page 181
A swap of land uses between the former Wisewood Secondary School site and Spider Park would allow the creation of a better quality play area in a safer, more accessible location. It would also allow the Council to realise a greater capital receipt than if it were to sell part of the former school site, which is not suitable for housing due to the proximity of the new floodlit sports pitch. The development of a new children’s play area on part of the former school site would help meet an identified shortage of children’s play in the local area and complete the creation of a recreational hub including sports centre, artificial sports pitch and community garden. The development of a small amount of housing at the top of Spider Park would provide natural surveillance over the remaining parkland and make the thoroughfare between Dial House Road and Sevenfields Lane safer to use. Licensing or leasing the former Wisewood Secondary School playing fields to a Football Association endorsed football club will meet central government requirements regarding the protection of former school playing fields as a community resource and ensure that sufficient investment can be secured for the sustainable maintenance of the amenity for the people of Sheffield. Recommendations: R1 That the former Wisewood Secondary School playing fields shown at
Appendix A and those areas of the former school site shown edged red at Appendix B be declared surplus to the requirements of the Children, Young People and Families portfolio.
R2 That subject to the outcome of public consultation and the provision of
replacement open space the public open space at Spider Park shown edged red at Appendix C be declared surplus to the requirements of the City Council.
R3 That the public open space at Spider Park shown edged red at
Appendix C be disposed subject to advertising the same and no public objections being upheld.
R4 That the former playing fields shown at Appendix A be licensed or
leased to an appropriate junior football club endorsed by Sheffield and Hallamshire FA.
R5 That the former school library building be leased to RIVA Project for
use as a project base R6 That the land shown in green at Appendix B be leased to RIVA Project
for use as a garden area to be developed and maintained for the use of the community
Page 182
R7 That the former Wisewood Secondary School caretaker’s house be leased to the local District Nurses for use as a drop-in office base
R8 That the Director of Capital and Major Projects be authorised to agree
final terms for the disposals above, including the variation of any boundaries as required, and to instruct the Director of Legal Services to complete the necessary legal documentation
R9 That the land shown in blue at Appendix B be developed as a new play
area of the scale and quality indicated by the design now shown at Appendix E
R10 That Cabinet notes that the Director of Culture & Environment will bring
forward, as part of the monthly budget monitoring report, a capital approval submission to deliver the new play area using the resources identified in Section 8.3 of this report and taking into account any changes arising from public consultation.

Future Use of Wisewood Secondary School & Spider Park
1. SUMMARY 1.1 Following the decision to close Wisewood Secondary School and
subsequent community consultation regarding the site’s future use, Cabinet authorised the Director of Property and Facilities Management (now Director of Capital & Major Projects) to develop a sustainable and suitable business case for the site that would deliver the priorities identified in the consultation.
1.2 This report outlines work undertaken so far and recommends a swap
of land uses between part of the former school site, on which a new children’s play area would be developed, and part of Spider Park, which would be sold and developed for housing to fund the new play area.
1.3 The report also recommends the adoption of a sustainable solution for
continued community use of the former Wisewood Secondary School playing fields.
2. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR SHEFFIELD PEOPLE 2.1 The proposals outlined in this report would improve local open space
provision for the Wisewood and Wadsley neighbourhoods, provide new homes for sale in the same area, and potentially achieve a capital receipt for the City Council to invest in spending priorities for the city as a whole.
3. OUTCOME AND SUSTAINABILITY 3.1 The provision of a new play area would complete the formation of a
“recreational hub” at the former Wisewood School site, complementing the existing Wisewood Sports Centre and floodlit artificial pitches and sitting alongside a planned community garden. Together, these uses represent a sustainable future for the site.
3.2 The development of housing at the top of Spider Park would provide
natural surveillance over the remaining parkland, making it a safer area to use and less likely to suffer from anti-social behaviour. It would also improve safety for users of the footpath between Dial House Road and Sevenfields Lane.
3.3 Licensing or leasing the former Wisewood Secondary School playing
fields to a Football Association endorsed football club would ensure that sufficient investment can be secured for the sustainable maintenance of the amenity for the people of Sheffield.
Page 185
4. BACKGROUND & PROGRESS TO DATE 4.1 On 22 September 2010 Cabinet gave authority to consult with local
people on the future use of the Wisewood School site. The report noted a commitment to retain part of the site for community use, the need for complementary uses that would help sustain the existing Wisewood Sports Centre and also the need for the Council to generate a receipt through the sale of part of the land.
4.2 Consultation took place in November and December 2010 and the
results were reported to Cabinet on 27 April 2011. An indicative layout for the site was presented accommodating various preferences expressed during the consultation (see Appendix D). Cabinet supported the following:
(i) The formation of a Management Board to ensure the community
vision for the site is developed and delivered.
(ii) Use of the playing field for wider community use via a suitable licence or lease to a suitable junior football club endorsed by Sheffield and Hallamshire FA.
(iii) Proposals for an all-weather, floodlit multi-games area which
supports the sustainability of the sports centre.
(iv) Proposals for a community and youth space, and additional specialist indoor sports provision.
(v) Proposals for a community garden (or similar).
(vi) Proposals for appropriate car parking for the primary school, the
existing sports centre and any additional facilities developed on site.
(vii) Use of the Rural Lane building to provide a Police base for Police
Community Safety Officers.
(viii) Exploration of ownership of the site as a community owned asset.
(ix) Disposal of area identified [this was an area shown as older persons housing]
Further feasibility work has taken place regarding these proposals and
considerable progress has been made as outlined below.
4.3 Wisewood Stakeholder Group The Wisewood Stakeholder Group was established partly to fulfil the
role envisaged for a ‘Management Board’ in 4.2(i) above. The group comprises representatives of the local tenants & residents association, primary school, sports centre, church, neighbourhood watch, junior
Page 186
football club, Pennine Housing and elected members as well as individual residents. The Group first met in December 2011 and has played a valuable role helping officers to develop a more detailed plan for the site.
4.4 Former School Playing Fields (Ben Lane) Former school playing fields enjoy considerable central government
legal protection to ensure that they are available for continued community use even after they are no longer required for educational usage. However, the maintenance of land no longer required for education use cannot be funded from the education budget earmarked for the school so a sustainable solution for the continued maintenance of the land has to be provided. Local sports clubs were invited to express their interest in taking on a lease of the former Wisewood School playing fields, the income from the lease to be invested back into the enhancement and maintenance of the site. Following a comprehensive selection process it is the recommendation of the Director of Capital & Major Projects that the lease be awarded to Wisewood Junior Football Club and that Cabinet now formally declare the site as surplus to the requirements of the Children, Young People and Families portfolio.
4.5 All Weather Floodlit Multi-Use Games Area A new artificial pitch has been developed using funding from the
Football Foundation. The pitches are to be managed by Wisewood Sports Centre and will help sustain the sports centre in the long term.
4.6 Car Parking Alongside the new pitch lie 90 car parking spaces, enough to
accommodate users both of the pitch and sports centre and also of other facilities in the locality.
4.7 Rural Lane Building Following further discussion with South Yorkshire Police, the original
Rural Lane school building proved not to be physically suitable as a base for the Community Support Officers. Therefore, that proposal has not been implemented and the building has been demolished. However, there is another building on Rural Lane - the former Caretaker’s House.
4.8 Former Caretaker’s House The local District Nurses for the Wisewood, Wadsley and Hillsborough
area expressed their interest in taking this property on as a drop-in office base. It is proposed to agree a lease that would require that the property is brought back up to standard. The front garden of the house would be included within a larger community garden (see 4.12).
4.9 Additional Indoor Sports Provision Wadsley Bridge Table Tennis Club expressed an interest in taking on
the former school library building with a view to making it their base.
Page 187
Unfortunately, it was not possible to produce a viable business plan and that idea was not progressed. However, an alternative use has emerged for the library (see 4.10).
4.10 Former School Library: the RIVA Project RIVA stands for Recreational Imaginative Vocational Activities for
people with disabilities. The RIVA Project is a new enterprise that has evolved from a long established social provision for young people with disabilities called Riva Club that has been running for over 15 years. It was set up to meet the need for work based training provision for disabled adults in the city. RIVA approached the Council with a proposal to turn the former library building into their project base. Their ambitious plans (see 4.11) were shared with the Stakeholder Group and met with the Group’s approval. It is proposed to lease the building to RIVA.
4.11 Café, Charity Shop, IT Suite and Meeting Room RIVA plan to offer their clients as wide a range of work-based training
opportunities as possible. Their first project would be the creation of a charity shop and a café with outside terrace. Both of these would be staffed by RIVA’s clients. They would refurbish the library’s IT suite and create a meeting room, both of which would be for the use of their clients and the local community. Their aim is to integrate their work as much as possible with the wider community to derive the maximum benefit for local people from the new facilities they create.
4.12 Community Garden The Stakeholder Group discussed the proposal for a community
garden and suggested that the Rural Lane frontage would be a sensible location, capitalising on its existing mature trees and attractive boundary. Following discussion with RIVA, their proposed lease for the library building would also include this land (see Appendix B), which they would be required to maintain as a garden area in partnership with and for the use of the local community. Developing and maintaining the garden would offer further training opportunities for RIVA’s clients as well as helping them engage with local people.
5. CURRENT SITUATION 5.1 The completion of the pitches and parking and the emerging solutions
for the library, community garden and caretaker’s house leaves only the north-western part of the site to be addressed, at the corner of Rural Lane and Laird Road. In the 2011 Cabinet report, this was to be the parcel of land sold to generate a capital receipt for the Council, and the indicative layout from that report shows a possible older persons housing development, which was a favoured option in the consultation.
5.2 However, given the presence of a new floodlit sports facility opening
Page 188
late into the evening, this is no longer a desirable location for housing, certainly not for the suggested client group of older people. More detailed discussions with planners have confirmed that an application to develop housing in such close proximity to the pitch may not be supported. Indeed, planners sought assurances that the former Caretaker’s House would not return to residential use before granting permission for the new pitch and floodlights.
5.3 Working with the Stakeholder Group it was concluded that it was more
appropriate for the remainder of the site to be developed in line with the other emerging uses on the site to complete a ‘recreational hub’: it was agreed that a play area would be the most suitable use for this location. However, there is no funding identified for a new play area, and the original intention was to dispose of any remaining land to generate a capital receipt for the Council. In light of these issues, the Stakeholder Group has looked beyond the confines of the Wisewood School site and considered the future of Spider Park.
6. PROPOSED LANDSWAP: SPIDER PARK 6.1 Spider Park is an open space accessed via Sevenfields Lane, off Ben
Lane. It sits behind Hallowmoor Reservoir. Until recently, it was used as a compound by Pennine Housing’s contractors whilst they completed their improvement works to the Wisewood estate.
6.2 The position of the park in relation to neighbouring properties means
that it suffers from a complete lack of natural surveillance. There is no lighting in and around the park, which has attracted anti-social behaviour and can feel unsafe both as a place for children to play but also as a thoroughfare from Dial House Road.
6.3 There used to be play equipment in the park but now there is only a
poor quality Astroturf mini football pitch and a picnic table. Limited funds have previously been identified for potential investment in the park.
6.4 The proposal is that a swap of land uses takes place between Spider
Park and the former Wisewood School site. This would involve approximately 0.32ha of parkland being developed for private housing for sale, with the resulting lost open space being re-provided as a play area on approximately 0.32ha of the Wisewood school site.
6.5 The planning issues this proposal presents are detailed in the
attached draft Informal Planning Advice Note (Appendix F). However, in summary, the development of housing at Spider Park is potentially acceptable provided that replacement open space of sufficient scale and quality is provided elsewhere in the locality. Funding for replacement provision and future maintenance would be secured via a legal agreement with the developer of Spider Park. Discussions with planning colleagues suggest that a ‘local equipped area for play’
Page 189
(LEAP) would be an acceptable standard of replacement in planning policy terms, comprising a minimum of five pieces of play equipment and aimed at younger children. To enable this to progress, this report seeks approval to dispose of the open space shown at Appendix C.
6.6 However, the replacement play area as described above would not
entirely meet the aspirations of the community as communicated through the Stakeholder Group. The Group is keen to see a play area that does not simply replace space lost at Spider Park (which is of relatively low quality), but makes full use of the available space at the former school site and provides opportunities for children of all ages. The Group has worked with council officers on a potential design (see Appendix E). The design is based on natural play with boulders for climbing and makes the most of the existing landscape with a zipwire on top of the hill and a slide coming down it. There is an informal kickabout area and a mini pump track for bikes, skateboards and scooters. A café terrace would be created by RIVA at the rear of the library building, from where parents would be able to sit and watch their children play. The new play area would be maintained by the City Council and future maintenance funding would be included as part of the legal agreement with the developer.
6.7 This design shown at Appendix E is beyond the minimum standard of
provision required through the planning process. It is proposed that additional Section 106 funding is employed to achieve this standard of provision, including that previously identified for investment in Spider Park. The full funding proposal is outlined in the Financial Implications.
6.8 The benefits of the proposed landswap are: · Funding for a new play area including future maintenance · A safer, more accessible location for a play area than Spider Park · Natural surveillance over the remaining parkland to improve
safety and reduce anti-social behaviour · Street lighting for the footpath from Dial House Road to
Sevenfields Lane · Greater capital receipt for reinvestment in City priorities 6.9 Although the development of sheltered / older persons housing was a
popular option for the Wisewood school site, there is not sufficient space to develop such a scheme on the available land at Spider Park, which would be best suited to family housing. However, there may be an opportunity to develop older persons housing on the site of the former Sevenfields Resource Centre on Ben Lane. This option will be investigated further and, if appropriate, will be the subject of a future Cabinet report.

7. CONSULTATION 7.1 The Stakeholder Group released a local newsletter in July 2012
describing the proposals for the play area, Spider Park and the potential opportunity at Sevenfields. This was followed up with a presentation at the Wisewood TARA AGM in November 2012. Feedback from both was positive. Wisewood Primary School also undertook a consultation exercise with their pupils and the children’s aspirations are reflected in the design shown at Appendix E.
7.2 Subject to Cabinet approval to dispose of the open space, the
disposal would be advertised in the local press (see Legal Implications). At the same time, there would be an opportunity to consult on:
· the principle of the landswap as outlined in the Informal Planning Advice Note (Appendix F)
· the draft design for the play area (Appendix E) This would take place during June 2013 at a number of local events as agreed with the Stakeholder Group.
8. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 8.1 Design, development and 15 years of future maintenance of a new
play area would be funded by a contribution from a developer of housing on Spider Park, which would be secured via a legal agreement as part of the planning process, to provide replacement open space of sufficient scale and quality to compensate for the loss of part of Spider Park. As detailed in the draft Informal Planning Advice Note attached at Appendix F, this contribution would be £183,220, which assumes £117,101 for maintenance.
8.2 A developer contribution of £183,220 would be sufficient to deliver a
‘local equipped area for play’ (LEAP), but to achieve the desired standard of play area shown at Appendix E, the Council would need to employ two additional Section 106 contributions. The funding proposal for the new play area is shown below.
8.3 Funding Source £
Funding to be derived from development of housing at Spider Park
· Developer Contribution to replacement and maintenance of open space lost at Spider Park
183,220
· Estimated s106 contribution to open space (based on development of 8 four bedroom houses)
16,356
Existing funding previously identified for Spider Park
· Existing s106 contribution (ref. no. 579) 6,900
TOTAL
206,476
Page 191
8.4 Based on current estimates, the funding identified above is sufficient
to deliver the play area design shown at Appendix E. 8.5 The sale of the land at Spider Park should realise a capital receipt for
the Council. A valuation has been undertaken and this is outlined in a Closed appendix to this report (Appendix G).
8.6 There are limited revenue implications relating to this proposal.
Currently, there is an annual budget of £1,237 for grounds maintenance at Spider Park. This would reduce slightly following the sale of part of the park, but most of the parkland would remain to be maintained.
9. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS 9.1 The Council has the power to dispose of the land for the best
consideration that can reasonably be obtained under section 123 of the Local Government Act 1972 but section 123(2A) provides that no disposal of open space land can take place until notice of the intention to do so has been advertised for two consecutive weeks in a local newspaper and any objections to the proposed disposal have been considered.
9.2 Certain disposals relating to school sites are governed by specific
legislation. Section 77 of the School Standards Framework Act 1998, as amended, protects school playing fields by requiring that the Secretary of State’s consent is needed before disposing or changing the use of the school playing fields. A Class consent has been issued which covers the proposed lease to the junior football club so it is not necessary to apply for specific consent but the terms of the consent must be complied with by providing the Secretary of State with details of the disposal.
10. EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS 10.1 Fundamentally this proposal is equality neutral, impacting all local
people equally regardless of age, sex, race, faith, disability, sexuality, etc. However, it should prove particularly positive for young people and carers, many of whom should benefit from the proposals. An Equality Impact Assessment has been undertaken. No negative equality impacts have been identified.
11. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS CONSIDERED 11.1 The alternative option is the original option: to dispose of part of the
Wisewood school site and to invest limited funds in Spider Park. A masterplan for Spider Park was created in 2010 showing how the existing open space could potentially be developed following the removal of the compound that was then in place. However, to
Page 192
implement that masterplan would cost more than the proposed play area at the Wisewood School site, and without the option to generate funding through residential development at Spider Park this would not be a viable proposition.
11.2 The potential to generate a significant receipt from the surplus land on
the school site is limited given that housing would not be acceptable and retail use could threaten the existing local centre. In any event, the proposed play area at Wisewood would be superior to an enhanced Spider Park because of the safer, more accessible location.
12. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS 12.1 Implementing the proposals in this report would contribute towards the
outcome of making Sheffield a Great Place to Live, as identified in Standing Up for Sheffield, the Council’s Corporate Plan.
12.2 A swap of land uses between the former Wisewood Secondary School
site and Spider Park would allow the creation of a better quality play area in a safer, more accessible location.
12.3 It would also allow the Council to realise a greater capital receipt than
if it were to sell part of the former school site, which is not suitable for housing due to the proximity of the new floodlit sports pitch.
12.4 The development of a new children’s play area on part of the former
school site would help meet an identified shortage of children’s play in the local area and complete the creation of a recreational hub including sports centre, artificial sports pitch and community garden.
12.5 The development of a small amount of housing at the top of Spider
Park would provide natural surveillance over the remaining parkland and make the thoroughfare between Dial House Road and Sevenfields Lane safer to use.
12.6 Licensing or leasing the former Wisewood Secondary School playing
fields to a Football Association endorsed football club would meet central government requirements regarding the protection of former school playing fields as a community resource and ensure that sufficient investment can be secured for the sustainable maintenance of the amenity for the people of Sheffield.
13. REASONS FOR EXEMPTION 13.1 Appendix G of this report is presented as an exempt item because it
contains exempt information under paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended). The reason for its exemption is that the Appendix contains information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information).

Appendix A and those areas of the former school site shown edged red at Appendix B be declared surplus to the requirements of the Children, Young People and Families portfolio.
R2 That subject to the outcome of public consultation and the provision of
replacement open space the public open space at Spider Park shown edged red at Appendix C be declared surplus to the requirements of the City Council.
R3 That the public open space at Spider Park shown edged red at
Appendix C be disposed subject to advertising the same and no public objections being upheld.

R9 That the land shown in blue at Appendix B be developed as a new play
area of the scale and quality indicated by the design now shown at Appendix E.
R10 That Cabinet notes that the Director of Culture & Environment will bring
forward, as part of the monthly budget monitoring report, a capital approval submission to deliver the new play area using the resources identified in Section 8.3 of this report and taking into account any changes arising from public consultation.
