Mulbarton Wanderers FC has submitted plans to build a new 267-square-metre community hub and welfare facilities at its ground in Mulberry Park.
Mulbarton Wanderers FC has submitted plans to South Norfolk Council to build a new community hub and welfare facilities at its ground, Abode Arena in Mulberry Park. The 267-square-metre building would include dedicated changing rooms for home and away teams, plus facilities for men's, women's and youth teams, as well as spaces for match officials, a medical room, office space, accessible toilets and a community room.
A separate spectator toilet block, two timber pagodas and associated hardstanding areas would also form part of the scheme. Solar panels would be installed on the roof to improve energy efficiency. The club says the development would help it meet Football Association ground-grading requirements and provide space for new and existing clubs and community groups.
The design and access statement describes the development as intended to provide 'modern, accessible welfare facilities' for players, match officials and spectators, while creating a flexible community space that can be used beyond matchdays. According to the application, the works would not alter the site's primary use as a football ground and have been designed to sit alongside the club's existing facilities.
