In addition to the buildings, the application includes a temporary treatment plant and percolation area, a playing pitch and a training pitch, both of which would be fitted with lighting. An entrance and access roadway, together with fencing, would provide access to the site. Hard standing for parking and a driveway to the playing pitch are also proposed.
