Padel courts planned for village hall site & 8 other applications this week in Chorley & South Ribble
Trustees at a busy village hall have applied for permission to create three new padel courts at the site.
Three padel courts could be built on land at the rear of Hoole Memorial Village Hall, if plans are given the green light.
Trustees have submitted plans to South Ribble Borough Council (SRBC) to redevelop land currently occupied by three asphalt tennis courts, including the erection of a canopy structure measuring approximately 23.2m x 40m.
A planning statement to SRBC says: “Padel is a rapidly growing sport within the UK and Europe and represents a modern, accessible and highly inclusive recreational activity. The proposed development will significantly enhance the range and quality of facilities available at the Village Hall and support its long-term viability as a community hub.
“The proposed courts will be enclosed in accordance with standard padel specifications, incorporating glazed and mesh panels. The development has been designed to sit comfortably within the existing sports area and will utilise land already in recreational use.”
The proposed hours of use are 7am to 10pm, and the applicants state that a noise assesment carried out predicts that noise levels are compliant with guidance for residential amenity.
Access to the site will continue to be taken from the existing entrance serving the Village Hall.
A decision will be made by SRBC in coming weeks.
