Where we are now
We have:
- Achieved Outline Planning Permission for two one and a half storey residences on the Holme Close site.
- Marketed the site and are in receipt of offers in order for an eventual sale to release the funds to relocate the club to new, purpose built, all-weather, whole year facilities at the Woodlands, Castor site.
- Developed plans comprising five all-weather tennis courts, three of which will be floodlit, two Padel Courts and 2 Pickle Ball courts. All the facilities will be available to members and non-members through an online booking system.
- Confirmed that a longstanding possible obstruction to the proposed site of a foul water drain under the control of Anglian Water is no longer an issue.
- Begun a process to sign off the necessary formal lease having already agreed a Heads of Terms agreement with Nene Park Trust to secure land on a lease basis involving 50 years duration, ground rent, storage, an eventual shared clubhouse facility, etc.
- Continued to communicate regularly with members and other interested parties through circulating the “Summary of Progress” documents which are also stored on the club website.
