Plans to expand a sports club in Lichfield to create additional facilities and become a new base for a local charity have been approved.
The work at Lichfield Sports Club off Eastern Avenue will see the current pavilion extended to provide changing rooms, a gym and new studio spaces.
The development will also create provision for the Liberty Jamboree charity which had been forced to leave its former base in Burntwood due to redevelopment.
A planning decision notice said:
“The charity have won significant funding to secure the extensions to the sports club and this is considered to be an appropriate base for their operations.”
