Plans for new football stands at leisure centre approved

Plans for new football spectator stands at a leisure centre were granted planning permission by Conwy Council’s planning committee last week. Lynda Griffiths applied to Conwy County Council for permission to erect two 40-foot converted shipping containers as stands at Y Morfa Leisure Centre, Morfa Avenue, Kinmel Bay.

The new stands will provide seating for 50 spectators and include wheelchair and disabled access. The refurbished containers will be constructed from Corten Steel, described as a high-durability, corrosion-resistant material, and will be finished in Kinmel Bay Football Club’s colours in two shades of blue.

The existing leisure centre facilities include a main building, showers, toilets, kitchen, spa, squash courts, offices, an all-weather MUGA, a main football pitch, and a large grassed area used for tournaments, cricket, and sports days.

Cllr Alan Hunter proposed councillors went with planning officers’ advice. This was seconded by Cllr Austin Roberts, and the committee voted unanimously in favour of the planning application.
