Sports and leisure facilities must continually improve so that users can enjoy the best the sport has to offer to be able to compete locally and nationally. Bishop’s Stortford Bowling Club were using outmoded bowling greens and suffering with substandard accommodation in the town.
JB Planning Associates successfully negotiated with a local developer to build a new state of the art bowling green facility on the edge of the town. The new site will provide two County standard greens with a brand new clubhouse and parking for the club.
In exchange, the clubs existing facility is to be re-developed. Following negotiation with the local planning authority, JBPA secured permission for 38 new flats on the ‘old’ bowling green site. These will be for sale on the open market and for rent as affordable homes. The new scheme has been designed to retain views through to a nearby listed building and provides a new footpath and cycleway into the town.
