Dollingstown FC submit plans for new clubhouse building and replacement changing rooms
Dollingstown Football Club, Planters Park, Portadown, have lodged plans for a new clubhouse building and replacement changing rooms, to include an ancillary committee room/managers’ office and an equipment store.
The planning application is at the consultation stage. NI Water have issued a favourable determination, stating: “Approved with standard planning conditions. The planning application has not identified the intention to connect to the public wastewater system as a means of disposal.
“The applicant has identified their intention to use on-site wastewater treatment. The use of an on-site wastewater treatment works or a septic tank is subject to written consent being obtained from Northern Ireland Environment Agency.”
Referring to planning approval being granted for a previous application, DfI Roads Southern Division noted: “The nature and scale of the proposal does not cause DfI Roads any concern. Access remains unchanged.
“The clubhouse proposed is of modest size, and the capacity with regard to parking generation does not give cause for concern as the pitches and spectator stand are likely to be larger generators.
“The car park is more extensive than previously approved, which should assist in provision, particularly on match days or for events.”
Historic Environment Division have also been consulted and have yet to respond.
If approved, the facilities will include a multi-purpose room, a kitchen, a kit store, male and female toilet facilities, disabled toilet facilities, away changing rooms, home changing rooms, a committee room, an equipment store, a first-aid room, a storeroom, and private quarters for referees.
