\n The sport has proven to be extremely popular, with a number of courts springing up in Warrington and across the country as a whole.\n<\/p>\n
\n Full planning permission was sought from Warrington Borough Council\u2019s planning department for land to the rear of Village Hotel, located on Centre Park.\n<\/p>\n
\n The hotel chain wished to convert the existing tennis court to accommodate five padel tennis courts.\n<\/p>\n
\n Permission was also sought for a canopy structure, with the green light now being given by the council.\n<\/p>\n
\n Planning documents stated: \u201cThe application site is located within Village Hotel Warrington, to the rear of the hotel building.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt currently comprises two disused tennis courts and some trees. The site is screened by trees to its north, east, and south.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cPadel is a racket sport that draws influence from tennis and squash. It is played in doubles on an enclosed court where players can use the walls to return shots.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cVillage Hotels will develop this facility to supplement its existing leisure offer for its customers.\n<\/p>\n
\n Disused tennis courts at Village Hotel Warrington are set to be restored for padel tennis use\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe proposed padel courts will be accessible to hotel guests and members of the public who hold memberships at the hotel.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n The development proposals comprise engineering works to accommodate five padel courts.\n<\/p>\n
\n Glass screens will be installed around the perimeter of each sports surface as part of the sports facilities.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cAll of the sport surfaces and the glass screens are contained under an arched canopy, which will be a lightweight structure supported by metal columns with mesh side screens,\u201d plans added.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThis will allow the facility to be used in all weather conditions and also absorb noise.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cEach court will be lighted by four court lights, which will be installed below the canopy shelter.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cEnclosure fencing is proposed outside and around the perimeter of the canopy to secure the facilities.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt will be 2.4m high and finished in dark green to minimise visual impact.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The sport has proven to be extremely popular, with a number of courts springing up in Warrington and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":413818,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-413817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=413817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413817\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/413818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
