A SPORTS club is to install new facilities for its members … if it can get approval for new drainage plans.
Shinfield Tennis Club has received permission from Wokingham Borough Council to install a toilet block, subject to the proposals for the pipework being approved by the council.
“Tennis sessions last for two to three hours and can represent strenuous exercise,” the club said in a planning statement.
“Obviously players have refreshment breaks between games and it’s a reasonable requirement to occasionally require a comfort break.
“The absence of WC facilities at the club is proving restrictive. Clearly an appropriate WC provision at such an established facility is a reasonable requirement.”
The application can be seen by logging on to Wokingham Borough Council’s planning website, and searching for reference 231684.
