Plans for clubhouse and pitch under review
A local football club has submitted a formal request to amend its planning permission, seeking to adjust the opening hours of its clubhouse and change the environmental classification of the nearby playing field.
The revised proposal is set to be examined by councillors next week. According to the application, the club argues that these changes will help improve the site’s operation and bring its facilities in line with community needs while maintaining compliance with local environmental standards.
Proposed changes
- Extension of clubhouse opening hours to allow evening community events.
- Reclassification of the pitch’s environmental rating to reflect updated sustainability measures.
- Improved lighting and landscaping to reduce impact on nearby residents.
A council spokesperson noted that any decision would depend on updated planning conditions and consultation with local residents. The application follows earlier planning approval granted under stricter operating limits.
“We’re trying to ensure the club remains both sustainable and respectful of its neighbours,” said a club representative.
Next steps
The planning committee will review the updated request at its upcoming meeting. If approved, the new conditions could take effect early next year, subject to local authority confirmation.
“This review process is essential to balance community interests and support local sport,” commented a council member familiar with the proposal.
