A tennis club is planning to go grass-free with new all-weather courts.<\/p>\n
Newark Tennis Club has submitted an application for new courts on London Road to Newark and Sherwood District Council.<\/p>\n
The club seeks to replace two existing grass tennis courts with two new hard surface all-weather courts.<\/p>\n

The site, to the rear of the former Lilley and Stone School, already features four existing hard courts.<\/p>\n
It is proposed that porous asphalt is used to avoid standing water and assist with drainage.<\/p>\n
Concrete edging in is also intended to be light green and brick red in colour to match adjacent existing hard courts<\/p>\n

An existing fence between the courts would be relocated.<\/p>\n
The provision of two additional all-weather courts would expand the tennis club\u2019s capacity regardless of weather and time of year.<\/p>\n
No heritage or conservation comments have been issued.<\/p>\n
