It will be used for five-a-side football games
Accrington Stanley Community Trust has been given approval to add a new fenced mini-football pitch with floodlights to its Higham Playing Fields site.
. The planning permission has 11 conditions attached including one governing the hours of work and construction traffic and ban on using the pitch between 10pm and 8amA planning officer’s report says: “The site is within the grounds of the Accrington Stanley Community Trust to the south east of the existing building on Thorneyholme Road. The land is currently unused space within the grounds of the sports hub.
“The fences will be four metres high with the lower one metre section featuring a solid panel construction. There will be four new floodlights positioned at each corner of the pitch. “The proposed development is therefore in keeping with the existing uses and will result in a small unused area on site being utilised. The design and layout of the proposed development are therefore considered acceptable.
