David Lloyd gym announces plans for exciting overhaul - and 10 more plans this week in Chorley & South Ribble
One of Lancashire’s poshest gyms has applied for a new padel section and social area.
Bosses at David Lloyd in Moss Lane, Whittle-le-Woods, are seeking permission to redevelop tennis court in to three padel courts - one of which to be covered - a social area, four lighting projectors and other associated works.
The proposed development would be to the south of the main club buildings and will be accessed via foot from the other areas of the David Lloyd Club. An application to Chorley Borough Council states: “The proposed Padel Courts are wholly limited to existing hard standing / existing court areas, apartfrom a small area of shrubs to be cut back, and will not result in any removal of landscaping. There willtherefore not be any significant impact on landscaping, ecology or biodiversity.”
Designed to stay true to the sport’s origins, the padel courts will feature a pillars type structure,anti-injury mesh infill panels and 10mm approved glass. The playing surface will be the latest technology in artificial grass, and there will be four 240W LED projectors to evenly light the space.
The agent states that compared to tennis lighting, it would have “significantly lower” lighting columns (circa 6m) due to the smaller playing surface, along with unidirectional beamsallowing the courts to be lit without significant light spill. All lighting is also controlled by a PIR sensor, which automatically switches off lights at timeswhen the courts are not in use.
In terms of noise, they say it would be “little different to that of traditional tennis”. A decision will be made in coming weeks by Chorley Borough Council.
