Golf club’s plans for clubhouse

BIRSTALL GOLF club plans to demolish part of its clubhouse and build a new extension.

The proposed extension spans across the existing two stories of the golf clubhouse. A new members’ lounge has been proposed on the ground floor, which will overlook the large putting green. Cold storage and a cellar form part of

On the first floor, the proposed scheme includes two terraces to allow people to gather outside in a protected area. There will also be some washroom facilities beside the new lift. With the removal of the existing dining, kitchen, and bar area on the ground floor, they are proposed to be relocated to the first floor.

A major aspect of the proposed scheme is the demolition of a significant portion of the existing building. The demolition involves the following existing spaces: dining room, lounge, mixed lounge, bar, bar cellar, foyer, entrance, yard area, kitchen, wash-up room, quiet lounge/store room, male WC, and female WC.

The pro shop will remain as it is internally.

The proposed scheme will reduce the footprint of the golf club. The application states that the existing building is proving to be costly for the golf club due to issues of leakage and damp.

The new extension will be primarily timber clad, incorporating large glass panels to enhance views of the golf course.

Details can be viewed on the planning pages of Leicester City Council’s website. The reference is 2023 0922.
