Approved plans for improvements at Sandhurst Cricket Club (22/00076/FUL)
Sandhurst Cricket Club have had plans approved to extend its facilities at Memorial Park to accommodate the higher take-up seen since introducing their development programmes.
The applicant claims this has led to an increased requirement for practice facilities and viewing areas for parents and spectators.
The new changes will see an increase to its net facility – from two lanes to three – an increase in the size of the external patio space by 2m x 18.4m and the digitisation of the scoreboard.
