What’s proposed
The development principally consists of: the demolition and removal of the existing 1 No. storey clubhouse (190.1 sq m) and hard-surfacing; the realignment and resurfacing of the northern Senior Pitch (Pitch No. 1), which is to be partially enclosed by a 990 millimetre high spectator railing on its western and northern sides; and the construction of a new 2 No. storey clubhouse (approx. 745.6 sq m). The clubhouse notably includes: changing rooms; gym; south-east facing, first-floor terrace; rooftop solar panels; a digital score board; and 2 No. logos (signage). In addition, the development proposes the provision of: a shed building (approx. 185.6 sq m) with an immediate, meanwhile use as a gym, to be changed to maintenance and storage use upon completion of the clubhouse; 61 No. car parking spaces (including mobility impaired and EV charging spaces); coach and mini bus parking; 103 No. cycle parking spaces; 8 No. new floodlights ranging in height from 18 metres to 20 metres; public lighting; generator; new goal posts and 12 metre high retractable ball-stop netting in 2 No. locations; hard and soft landscaping; and all associated site and development works above and below ground.

Zoning at the site
Zone Z1 - DEV PLAN 2022-2028
Z9: Amenity/Open Space Lands/Green Network: To preserve, provide and improve recreational amenity, open space and ecosystem services.
Land zoned to stay open — parks, playing fields, amenity corridors. Built development is very hard to justify, which also means the view is protected.
Z1: Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods: To protect, provide and improve residential amenities.
An established residential area. The objective is to protect existing residential amenity as well as to provide housing — which is the objective a neighbour's objection to an overbearing extension is usually argued under.
Z15: Community and Social Infrastructure: To protect and provide for community uses and social infrastructure.
Reserved for the schools, creches, community and health facilities a neighbourhood needs.
