Rugby club submits college cabin plans for Bury’s Green Belt
Sedgley Park RUFC has applied for five temporary units to be installed on 9.5 acres of parkland off Park Lane in Whitefield.
The club is hoping to use the recycled cabins for the creation of its College of Rugby. It says the college will aim to offer holistic development opportunities to children through sport, education, and life skills, according to the plans lodged with Bury Council.
These plans show the site earmarked for the development is at the far end of the rugby pitches at Phillips Park, near the M60.
The temporary 6m by 5m cabins would be converted into a couple of classrooms, a gym, a kitchen, and toilet facilities.
As the cabins will be placed on levelling pads, there will be no permanent foundations and they can be removed to leave the land in its original state, according to the plans.
Access will be from Phillips Park Road, and the cabins would be in use between 9am and 5pm.
Mast Architecture is heading up the project team.
