Plans have been approved for two padel courts to be built at a golf club dating back to the late Victorian period.<\/p>\n

Padel X has received planning permission to build the courts in a car park at Burghley Park Golf Club, near Stamford, Lincolnshire.<\/p>\n

Its first planning application in February was withdrawn after Peterborough City Council planners said removing seven trees to build the courts was “unacceptable<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

The company’s fresh application avoided the loss of the established trees and landscape. The proposal was approved on 19 December the Local Democracy Reporting Service<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

In a planning statement, Plan Padel on behalf of Padel X, said the sport was rapidly growing in popularity, and was an “ideal addition” to the golf club’s amenities.<\/p>\n

Padel is a racquet sport that uses enclosed courts<\/a> about a third smaller than lawn tennis and, like squash, players can bounce the ball off the walls. <\/p>\n

The approved development includes a landscape scheme, with woodland planting to the west, between the courts and the adjacent London Road.<\/p>\n

The golf club, which dates back to 1890, is set within Burghley Estate’s parkland on the grounds of Burghley House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Plans have been approved for two padel courts to be built at a golf club dating back to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":363977,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-363976","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=363976"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363976\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/363977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=363976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=363976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=363976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
