Plans have been unveiled to extend and upgrade part of a Lichfield tennis club.

A new entrance lobby and function room will be created if planning chiefs give the go-ahead for the development at Lichfield Friary Lawn Tennis Club.

A statement supporting the application said the extension would help sustain the club in the long term.

An artist’s impression of the clubhouse extension

> “The cost of maintaining the tennis club means that the financial viability of the business is finely balanced.  
>  
> “The club regularly invests all surplus it makes into the upkeep and maintenance of the grounds and building in order to entice and maintain its membership numbers.  
>  
> “The current layout of the clubhouse is restrictive to both its current uses and its future potential, unable to serve as a fully functioning clubhouse and provide dual use as required.  
>  
> “This inability to host more than one activity a time occurs frequently.  
>  
> “The current clubhouse was built over 35 years ago and is now in desperate need of modernisation and realignment with the current needs of the club.”
