Go-ahead for new LCFC Training Ground

Councillors have approved plans by Leicester City to create a state of the art training facility on the former Park Hill Golf Course.

Councillors have backed plans from Leicester City Football Club to build a new state of the art training facility in Charnwood. 

The football club will develop the site of the former Park Hill Golf Course in Seagrave and build a new football training facility for the first team and academies. The site will have grass pitches, sports halls, rehabilitation areas as well as a 499 seat spectator stand and 9-hole golf course.

Councillors on the Planning Committee at Charnwood Borough Council voted in favour of the development by 8 votes to 4. 

The application had received more than 170 comments by local residents and many objections included a letter from nearby Seagrave Village Primary School saying parents and teachers were concerned that extra traffic in the area would put school children at risk. 

Members vote and the application by @LCFC is approved. 8 in favour and
4 against
