Why this application matters

Indoor recreation facility

The hotel site is proposed to gain an enclosed four-court padel facility, with reception, seating, merchandise sales and changing, shower and toilet facilities.

Access and servicing

Internal vehicle circulation and surface parking would be reorganised to provide 16 spaces, including one accessible space, alongside 10 bicycle spaces. The facility would connect to the existing on-site wastewater treatment system.

County padel context

Elsewhere in County Cork, conditional permission has been granted for four outdoor floodlit padel courts at Cobh Cross Industrial Estate; the Westlodge scheme differs as an enclosed hotel-based facility with supporting welfare amenities.
