The planning committee taking place on 4th December will consider an application to replace the temporary University sports hall which is located on Heslington Lane.
The temporary hall has been in use for over 8 years and is showing signs of wear and tear.
Location of hall
The replacement hall measures approximately 55m x 40m x 13m to the ridge. The building would be insulated and incorporate heating and ventilation. Materials would comprise insulated panels and a fabric membrane roof, all over a galvanised steel frame. Access would remain as existing, from Heslington Lane via James Way.
The application is recommended for approval.
Sport England have asked for a condition securing the use of the sports hall by the local community.
The hall is additional to the facilities being provided at the sports village on Hull Road.
