## Description
Cranbrook in East Devon is a town which is being developed on a former green field site from scratch. Construction works started in 2011 and the first residents moved in during the following year. By mid-2025, the town had grown to approximately 9,000 residents occupying just under 3,500 properties. The current Local Plan makes provision for the delivery of more than 8,000 homes housing in the region of 25,000 residents - so Cranbrook will be at least a medium-sized town and probably the second-biggest settlement in East Devon.
Cranbrook Town Council owns and operates the Ingrams sports pitches which feature:
• an eight-wicket cricket square and outfield
• a multi-use games area (MUGA)
• a variety of adult and junior football pitches
The site is completed by the Ingrams Pavilion with its four team changing rooms, four referee changing rooms and 90m² social space with kitchen facilities as well as a car park with spaces for 52 cars, two coaches and bicycle parking.
Cranbrook Town Council has been maintaining the playing surfaces to the standards of both the Football Association and the England Cricket Board.
The successful contractor will be responsible for delivering a high-quality, environmentally sensitive maintenance service of the playing surfaces.
