belap was founded by Jacqueline Bennett and Kevin Bennett in 1991. We have 35 years’ experience in sport and recreation planning, and have provided these services to all local authorities in Devon and many more local authorities, other public sector bodies and private clients throughout the South West and the rest of the country.
belap is passionate about protecting and enhancing open space and sports facilities for local communities and for increasing the opportunities for everyone, particularly young people, to take part in sport and physical and fitness activities.
We work both independently and in partnership with other consultancies and groups, sharing research and information and exchanging ideas on good practice.
