The Black Country authorities playing pitch strategies suggest an increase in provision of Artificial Grass Pitches (AGPs).
Wolverhampton Sandwell and Dudley Built Facility Strategies (BFS) indicate an issue with secured access to sports halls, and Dudley and Sandwell BFS suggest an issue around the need for more swimming pool provision.
I would suggest a BFS is required Black Country wide to look at increase housing implications on Swimming Pool and Sports Hall provision.

consideration should be given to sport as an economic generator.
But the report does not recognise the economic benefits of sport.
Boosting participation in sport can generate a variety of socio-economic benefits. Sport can, and does, make a profound and positive impact on individuals, communities and wider society.
Sport England commissions its own research on this topic, while keeping a critical eye on the latest evidence from around the world. The aim is to provide the information needed to make the best strategic and investment decisions.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
In 2010, sport and sport-related activity contributed £20.3 billion to the English economy - 1.9% of the England total.
The contribution to employment is even greater - sport and sport-related activity is estimated to support over 400,000 full-time equivalent jobs, 2.3% of all jobs in England.
