A Wilmslow sports club has been granted planning permission for a new club house to replace the existing facilities which are considered unfit for purpose.
Croftside Tennis Club on Meadow Way was formed in the 1930s and currently has 200 members. At the moment the club house lacks toilet and changing facilities, is subsiding so the internal floor and roof are becoming more uneven, has an inadequate food preparation area and there is no space for kitchen facilities. Additionally it is inaccessible to disabled people.
The new design addresses all these issues, with ramped level access, improved accessibility within the club house and a disabled toilet and changing facility. It will be sited almost on the same area as the existing building to minimise any impact on the neighbours.
The club was granted planning permission (reference 14/4442M) for or the demolition of the existing timber club house and construction of a new club house in January 2015. The original approved scheme was to be designed in a modular manner however, after further research, the club decided to submit this revised scheme which will be constructed in a more traditional way as they felt it will have better longevity.
The planning application can be viewed on Cheshire East Council's website by searching for planning reference 16/1757M.
