Sheffield Wednesday become latest organisation to embrace the rising sport of padel
Owls community programme venue gets green light for padel court
Sheffield Wednesday have become the latest organisation to join the current wave of excitement over the game of padel.
The famous club’s community programme has been given the go-ahead to build its own court for the game, at its Jubilee Sports Club, on Clay Wheels Lane, near Hillsborough.
Sheffield Council has given them planning permission to build a covered court, but says they must take measures to protect wildlife when they do it.
And they have added a condition that they are only used between 8am and 10pm each day.
Sheffield Council planning officers said in a report which recommended giving the scheme planning permission: “The application site is small unused parcel of land that is located to the north of existing sports pitches connected with the Jubilee Sports and Social Club.”
