Oast Park Sports Hub
Oast Park Sports Hub is being planned for the disused site of Oast Park Golf Course, which closed in 2017, and plans are being put forward by developer Obee Estates ahead of the submission of a formal planning application later this year.
In addition to the Sports Hub, the vision for the wider Oast Park site is for a mixed-use scheme comprising homes and leisure. The emerging site masterplan includes up to 100 homes adjacent to the sports hub, 10 of which would be self-build plots. Plans for this residential area to enable the development are in the early stages and will form a separate future outline planning application.
Thomas Obee from Obee Estates said: “This is an exciting project that seeks to deliver exceptional facilities for a community football club, as well as bringing innovative new leisure facilities to the area for everyone to benefit from and create jobs both during construction and in the longer term. It will also unlock land in Larkfield for the provision of much needed affordable homes in an area of need.
“We’re in the early planning stages of the project which involves meeting with local councillors and the community ahead of a formal planning application for Oast Park Sports Hub later this year.”
