Cricket and rugby club’s plan approved

Planning permission has been awarded to Helensburgh Cricket and Rugby Club for an outdoor bar and barbecue hut at its Ardencaple premises.

The club’s application also sought retrospective planning permission for an outdoor seating area with canopies and pergola.

The proposal for the Rhu Road Higher site attracted one representation from the public which expressed concerns about noise coming from the premises.

An Argyll and Bute Council planning official said that environmental health had been consulted on the proposals, and conditions had been imposed as to the hours of operation and a noise management plan.

Use of the outdoor seating area will be limited to 10pm, Thursday to Sunday, from May to September, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The planner said in a handling report: “An outdoor bar and barbecue hut are proposed which are formed from a re-purposed shipping container with a footprint of approximately 28 square metres.

“Whilst the proposal involves the erection of new structures, it is associated with, and will compliment and help to improve Helensburgh Cricket and Rugby Club’s existing outdoor recreation facilities.”
