Plans for new sports pitch and pavilion in the heart of Much Hoole
and live on Freeview channel 276
Trustees of Much Hoole Village Hall want to build a 3G MUGA (multi use games area) with 5-a-side football, tennis and netball court, on land where tennis courts currently stand.
The existing bowlers hut would be replaced by a new Bowling Pavilion, which would accommodate shared toilets and changing facilities for the bowlers and other sports users.

This 'Phase Two' development has been an ambition since the redevelopment of the Memorial Hall.
Last summer a consultation was held with the local community over what they would rather see fundraising for - a new snooker hall extension or refurbishing the tennis court area into a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA), both costing in the region of £110,000.
Lighting
In a document sent to South Ribble Borough Council, agents Bramley-Pate and Partners state: "The proposed new installation accommodates activities already taking place on the site and no increase in this activity is planned.
"No increase in noise or disturbance to neighbours will occur. Indeed, the new facility will be considerably better at containing stray balls than the existing equipment and thereby any danger of nuisance to neighbours of balls landing in the adjacent road should be eliminated.

Dimensions
The proposed pavilion would be 42.25m wide by 36m long, surrounded on all four sides with weld mesh fencing 3m high and will be a permanent construction. The ball stop netting will be an additional 3m high.
