From Gareth Mellors, Barton Town CC
Attached are some images of the proposed clubhouse. The drawings have been produced by local architect David Ettridge of Ettridge Arichitecture. We envisage going to planning within the next three weeks. We held a 'meet and greet' night with the neighbours and received fantastic feedback regarding the building and the direction the club is going in.
Building will be for the community and will be available for not just cricket but other institutions within Barton and surrounding areas. A two-bay indoor cricket net facility would be offered to local cricket clubs for use, plus a gymnasium for club members, and 150/200-person capacity for functions/conferences.
The clubhouse has been designed with the environment in mind and will be built using the latest Green Technology, a field where David Ettridge and Energy Building LTD excel.
NF adds: What a great development this would be for cricket in the area. Barton's Marsh Lane ground falls within the area covered by North Lincolnshire Council's planning department. Once the scheme is submitted, Barton Town Council, and the general public, will be consulted - following which North Lincolnshire Council will have the final say on the application, plus any conditions (if any) thought necessary. Gareth tells me the development could cost around £750,000 and it's been decided to seek planning permission before getting all the funding in place. "We want to go places as a club," he says. It could be a wind turbine will be employed - perhaps a cricket development first - to help with the carbon footprint.
