In March 2025 the decision notice had been published - approval with conditions. One was that, within 6 months of completion of the 3G, there has to be a scheme that includes measures to ensure "the replacement of the Artificial Grass Pitch within the manufacture’s specified period."

There was this Interesting statement:


Within 3 months of the date of this permission, a community use agreement shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The agreement shall apply to outdoor sports facilities, changing and car parking and include details of pricing policy, hours of use, access by non-educational establishment users, management responsibilities and a mechanism for review. The development shall not be used otherwise than in strict compliance with the approved agreement.

Reason: To secure well managed safe community access to the sports facility/facilities, to ensure sufficient benefit to the development of sport.


So we'd know pretty quickly the terms that the pitch can be used for other uses.
