Hensingham Amateur Rugby League Club has submitted plans for a new changing facility after membership growth.
Hensingham Amateur Rugby League Club has submitted planning applications for a new purpose-built changing facility off Cleator Moor Road in Whitehaven. The club has experienced significant membership growth in recent years, particularly within junior sections and girls' and women's teams. Its existing changing rooms are outdated and too small for current numbers.
The proposed building would contain four team changing rooms with showers and toilets, two officials' changing rooms, an accessible changing room, a plant room and storage space. The facility would have off-white rendered walls and a profiled steel roof. Plans also include 60 solar panels on the roof. Existing access and parking arrangements would remain unchanged.
Ecologists surveyed the site in March and found no protected or notable species within the area earmarked for development. The land was assessed as poor-condition grassland, with the ecological impact described as 'negligible'. The club says the development would provide more modern and accessible facilities and allow continued growth.
