Indoor tennis facilities for Nenagh

Nenagh Tennis Club has received planning permission for the provision of indoor tennis facilities at the club's Limerick Road premises.

The plan involves construction of a new fabric covered truss arched building for the provision of an indoor tennis court, and all associated ancillary site works.

 

There are currently six full size tennis courts on the site with three narrower training courts to the rear. The new building will measure 618 sq m and is to be constructed over an area where three children's practice courts are currently located.

 

The truss structure will have an overall height of 8m and will appear as an arched half-barrel structure. It is proposed to have one tennis court inside the new structure.

 

Granting permission for the development, Tipperary Co Council ruled that the external colour of the tensioned fabric covering should be neutral in colour in the interests of visual amenity.
