Planning application

DFC Stadium Castle Road Dumbarton G82 1JJ

Withdrawn West Dunbartonshire DC25/247/FUL Full Application

Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.

Proposal

The football club seeks to remove its existing grass pitch and replace with a modern astroturf pitch to the same plan dimensions and retained within the club's current pitch perimeter as demarcated by the palisade boundary fencing. Works would include drainage for collection and conveyance of surface run-off to the specification of the pitch manufacturer and supplier.

As published by the council, reference DC25/247/FUL
