Green light given to parish council to progress with pavilion upgrade
Clifton upon Teme Parish Council had previously submitted the plans to Malvern Hills District Council
A parish council in Worcestershire has been granted permission for it to extend a sports pavilion in its area.
Clifton upon Teme Parish Council had previously submitted plans to the planning authority Malvern Hills District Council.
It says upgrading the pavilion in Pound Lane will create a permanent base for the village’s scouts, cubs, brownies and guides and will also provide Clifton Rovers Football Club with bigger changing rooms and the number of showers and toilets it needs.
In the plans it put forward, it said: “The aim of the parish council is to remodel and extend the existing facility to provide more space and better facilities to better serve the growing community in the long term.”
District planners said the building would “in effect double in length” and “The resultant building would be barn-like in proportions which reflects the surrounding rural setting”.
Officers also said the extended building would be “no closer to neighbours than the former demolished scout hut on the northern boundary and as such there would be no overlooking or overbearance”.
