Planning application
GLEN DIMPLEX PROFESSIONAL APPLIANCES LTD, Drury New Road, Buckley, CH7 3DS
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within five years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
The proposal seeks the partial change of use of the former Greg Dimplex site at Little Mountain, Buckley. The development involves the conversion of approximately 50% of the existing building to provide a multi-use indoor leisure facility. The proposed uses include a padel tennis club, a small ancillary coffee shop, a gym/fitness area, and an indoor football facility. The development will utilise the existing building footprint with no significant external alterations, focusing on internal reconfiguration to accommodate the new leisure uses. The scheme aims to bring the vacant building back into active use, providing community sports and recreational facilities while supporting local employment and improving the vitality of the site.
