Bishop's Park Tennis Courts Bishop's Avenue London
Retention of fencing and glass surrounds within the existing tennis court area to create 3no. padel/mini tennis courts.
The proposal is considered unacceptable on the grounds of visual amenity. More particularly, the addition of enclosures to the padel court perimeter fence by virtue of their design, scale, obscure materials with advertisement signage introduce a discordant feature which has an adverse impact on the visual permeability of this open space (Metropolitan Open Land) and would fail to preserve or enhance the Bishops Park Conservation Area. In this respect, the proposal is contrary to Policies DC1, DC8, OS1, OS2, RTC3, of the Local Plan (2018) and Key Principles AH1, AH2 and CAG3 of the Planning Guidance Supplementary Planning Document (2018). Chief Planning Officer of The Economy Department : Joanne Woodward

The application site is in close proximity to nearby residential properties at Bishops Mansions in Bishop Park Road and it is considered that the existing use has a harmful impact in terms of nuisance, noise and disturbance. The Noise Impact Assessment does not not include sufficient information to draw robust conclusions regarding the regular use of the padel courts. The proposal is contrary to Policies DC1, CF3, CC11, CC13 of the Local Plan (2018) and Key Principle NN1 and NN2 of the Planning Guidance Supplementary Planning Document (2018).
