The new development could be housed on Little Tennis Street, Sneinton
A former warehouse in Nottingham could soon be turned into a sports facility as padel tennis continues to rise in popularity across the UK. The building, located at 15 Little Tennis Street, Sneinton , could be turned into the first indoor padel tennis facility in Nottingham, making it suitable for play all year round.
According to the plans, padel tennis is an innovative racquet sport which is played on an enclosed court that is approximately one third the size of a tennis court. The court has walls and the balls can be played off them in a similar way to the game of squash. The planning documents, submitted by Advantage Padel Ltd, read: "The proposed development is intended to cater for one of the fastest growing sports in the UK in a modern facility which will complement and enhance the existing offer of sporting facilities in this part of Nottingham. Padel tennis facilities cater for groups of mixed ages and abilities in playing together.
The building comprises 2,893sqm floorspace, with the site comprising approximately 4,200sqm in total. Out of the 10 indoor courts, six of them will be double, while four will be single.
