Application Notes:
The Town Council maintained their objection to this application. Whilst some changes have been made since the previous application was withdrawn, the community concerns have still not been taken into account with this proposal. It was felt that the location of the pitch was still not suitable and could be moved to another location away from residential properties. There had only been a minimal reduction in the opening hours and there would still be considerably more noise and light pollution and the traffic to the area would increase and Preston Street already suffers with this issue. The Town Council welcomed increased sports facilities within the town, but this proposal would have too much of an impact on the neighbouring residents.
