SDNP Approve Pavilion Plans
‘Fundraisers in
Fernhurst are delighted that the South Down National Park authority has
approved the plans for a refurbished and extended pavilion. The campaign,
called Pavilion 2022, was launched after a dramatic increase in the memberships
of the cricket, football and tennis clubs. Youth participation, in particular,
has been transformed. It means the existing building, which dates from 1971,
simply isn’t fit for purpose.
The plans extend the
current building and incorporate a full refurbishment.
Graham Heath of
Fernhurst Recreation Ground said:
“Having planning
permission approved is fantastic news, a major milestone for the project. Now
we can start talking in earnest with sport governing bodies, local government
and other possible benefactors whilst continuing with the fundraising events we
have planned such as the Blackdown Hill Challenge, celebrity cricket match,
barn dance, etc.”
Trustee Bill Gourlay
leads the design team. He said:
“Our revised design
still manages to meet our primary objectives and will allow different events to
smoothly take place at the same time”
“We’re very excited to
have successfully worked with the South Downs National Park planning authority
to deliver this design. Given that we sit in a conservation area it was
essential to take a sympathetic approach to our surroundings, with a building
that would fit beautifully into our quintessential village green setting”.
“We’re only part of
the way there, and it’s essential to remember that we, the community, will
still need to raise the bulk of the funds ourselves. We hope the members of the
sports clubs, and the broader village, will throw their weight behind the
events that are being organised to raise the money we need”.
