'DILAPIDATED' BUILDING TO MAKE WAY FOR ONE-STOREY COMMUNITY ASSET
A DERBYSHIRE rugby club has been given permission for a modern clubhouse, replacing its “ramshackle” and “dilapidated” current facilities.
Matlock Rugby Club, known as the Baileans, who have played at Cromford Meadows in Mill Road, Cromford, since 1928, have been given permission by Derbyshire Dales District Council for their new clubhouse
The design of the clubhouse has been significantly changed during the planning process to take on concerns from heritage officials regarding its landscape impact.
This has led to the modern replacement being changed from a two-storey upgrade with a wraparound terrace to a one-storey building with a sloping, higher ceiling.
