Sporting ambitions score with planning approvals
“Hole in one” for new investment in replacement greenkeeping facility at Royal St George's Golf Club.
Hume Planning Consultancy has successfully coordinated the consultancy team and led negotiations with the LPA resulting in permission for the development of a replacement “state of the art” greenkeeping facility at the Royal St George's Golf Club in Sandwich.
The new enlarged greenkeeping facility, that was relocated within the course from its central position close to the clubhouse will ensure that the Golf Club's greenkeeping team are provided with the best possible facilities to continue to provide first class playing services in the future. The facility will include additional storage space, maintenance areas and welfare facilities for greenkeeping machinery and staff. The new facility will be built on a dedicated site adjacent to the Golf Course, allowing for improved greenkeeping accessibility to the course without disturbance to the clubhouse and shop. Hume Planning hope this significant investment which will facilitate further improvements in course conditions and club operations will assist in contributing to an early return of the Open Championship and the worldwide sporting spotlight on Sandwich alongside the regional economic benefits secured when the RSG is hosting.
