\n Stourbridge Golf Club lost part of its boundary hedgerow in the blaze and has now submitted plans to Dudley Council to install around 640 metres of fencing along its boundary.\n<\/p>\n
\n Chris Darby, marketing director at Stourbridge Golf Club, said: “Stourbridge Golf Club has applied to Dudley Council planners to erect a boundary fence to replace the hedgerow that was destroyed by the fires.\n<\/p>\n
\n “This fencing is 640 metres long and is required to protect the golf club’s boundary from intrusion but primarily to prevent potential hazards to vehicles and pedestrians on Racecourse Lane.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The club hopes the new fence will allow it to fully reopen its 18-hole course, currently 16 holes are open to players after several re-openings following the fires.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Darby said: “We are confident that the council will approve our application based on pre-planning meetings regarding the height of the fence to be installed.\n<\/p>\n

\n “The new fence will allow our club to reopen fully back to 18 holes of golf.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The club is aiming to complete the installation by early December, pending approval.\n<\/p>\n
\n The course also recently saw the re-opening of the public right of way paths that run through the course, two months on from the tragic fires.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Darby added: “We are hoping that the planning application is agreed as soon as possible as the golf club is targeting early December for completion of the installation.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Stourbridge Golf Club lost part of its boundary hedgerow in the blaze and has now submitted plans to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":816904,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-816903","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816903","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=816903"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816903\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/816904"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=816903"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=816903"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=816903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
