Talks can start over the sale of council land to a West End sports club which is working with a housing developer on plans for 16 flats.
land to a West End sports club which is working with a housing developer on plans for 16 flats.
The club would then invest money into a new tennis court as well as improvements to the clubhouse. Councillors approved the principle of the sale on Thursday, allowing discussions on terms of the deal to get underway. A council official said: “The sale would be subject to planning so we wouldn’t be selling this unless planning consent is granted.”
Plans for the flats were submitted in December last year and have yet to be decided on by the council. The club’s trustees told the council the housing development was required as the facility is in “very real danger” of closure due to declining membership and the need for major roof repairs.
