The Planning committee of Penrith Town Council has today voted unanimously to support a planning application by Penrith Football club to install a 3G pitch and new flooding at the French filed grounds.
The chair of the planning committee and town mayor Cllr Shepherd said although I have a distaste for plastic grass this is the right place for it to be used”
Concerns about the impact of floodlighting on possible future housing developments in the immediate area was also raised but members were told they could only consider the planning before them and not possible future developments or applications.
The Penrith Football club is planning the addition of a 3G artificial grass pitch with replacement floodlighting, fencing, storage container and cycle parking at the French field football club.
They are working with the football association on possible funding for the works to the Eden Council owned football stadium.
