Indoor cricket academy planned for Leyland - a stone's throw from new 5,000 seater stadium
A new indoor cricket academy could soon open in Leyland - a stones throw away from the new Lancashire Cricket Club ground in Farington, due to open this summer.
The two sites would not be linked - with the indoor application made by Ash Esrat of Ashy's Cricket Academy for a Certificate of Lawful Use for an indoor sport facility at Jubilee House in Lancashire Enterprise Business Park, Leyland.
The building was previously used by the NHS as an office space and for administering the Covid-19 vaccine during the pandemic. Mr Esrat argues that as the previous use fell into the class E category, and so does the proposed use, “as such there is no change of use and the proposed use is lawful.
A website for the academy has already been launched, stating that "Ashy’s new six-lane indoor centre is currently in development. Designed with sustainability and accessibility in mind, it will offer net hire, coaching, and community use."It states it will open in summer 2026.
The other half of Jubilee House has recently opened as a children’s day nursery.
A decision on the cricket academy will be made by SRBC in coming weeks.
