To confirm a rough outline plan to be able to discuss with the landowner.

(Cllr Jefferies arrived 19.19)

Part 1 – the building.

Draft 1 of the plans for the new hall were reviewed. Thoughts from this were:
Could the second hall have a storage area for tables and chairs to stop users having to walk to the far side of the main hall?

Part 2 – Pavilion.
This new pavilion in a new location is a potential option – depends on possible FA funding or CPC being able to fund it. Will probably be an item funded separately to the main project.

Part 3 – Building and Pavilion in relation to the field.
Would potentially want to move the hall to the north of the tennis courts and use the old hall space for a MUGA and play area. The outside gym would be moved to the north of the site. Would also install cricket nets to the east of the building. This would involve a very small addition of land to the north of the site. May need to make the current access route wider to allow 2 vehicles to pass. Need to consider Norris Close residents and a possible night closure. Access via the north on Hodson Road is too expensive. There are no tree preservation orders on the site.

Phase 2 of the plan:

At a future date, can add a pump track to the north west of the site, a wildflower/nature area and a wooded area with paths. Need to consider position of eastern trees in relation to residents. This will require an extension of land similar to the current field size.
Need to talk to the landowner about phase 1 and 2 with regards to the land required.
It was noted that we have access to a grants finder company who charge a 10% fee for grants obtained on our behalf. A pedestrian crossing may be required for Hodson Road.
A proposal was made to talk to the landowner about acquisition of land for phase 1 and/or 2. The proposal was seconded and all Cllrs were in favour.
The Clerk is to make arrangements for a visit with the landowner.
Once this conversation is had, we can ask SWA to seek pre-planning advice to understand the viability of the project.

20/20 Items for next agenda. None
