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.
