Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 11:06 · Archive
Leverstock Green Tennis Club has applied to build two canopy-covered padel courts at its Hemel Hempstead site.
Leverstock Green Tennis Club has submitted a planning application to Dacorum Borough Council to build two canopy-covered padel courts next to existing courts at its site on Grasmere Close in Hemel Hempstead. The new courts would be operated by Zing Padel, a UK padel operator focused on creating high-quality leisure venues.
The application follows the installation of two padel courts at the club last year, which have reportedly been in high demand and are consistently booked out. Padel is a growing racquet sport played on an enclosed court, combining elements of tennis and squash.
According to the club's application documents, the new courts would deliver 'modern, accessible and much needed sporting provision for the club members and the wider community' while making 'a valuable contribution to the health and wellbeing of residents across the area'. The courts would be built on grassland immediately adjacent to the existing courts.
The proposed courts would operate between 7am and 10pm every day. The club says the expansion would operate alongside the wider Leverstock Green Tennis Club and its existing padel offer, extending the facility's capacity to meet local demand for the sport.
