Go-ahead for games area on village playing field -- latest Bassetlaw planning decisions

The planning application was submitted by Cheryl Day, of Blyth Parish Council, to build the MUGA on a piece of land previously used as a skate park, which has now been removed.

The idea is to create a tarmac court, measuring 24.5 metres by 11 metres and surrounded by a two-metre high fence, that would be suitable for a variety of sports and games. There would be “a sports goal and a basketball hoop” at each end.

The council granted consent after hearing that the Sport England organisation had no objections providing the MUGA did not interfere with a nearby football pitch and bowling green.

Other planning applications to receive permission from the council include these:
