The plan would see the current tennis courts replaced with three new, larger, tennis courts, along with a multi use games area for sports such as basketball and five-a-side football.

The scheme is being funded by Section 106 money from developers, and has been backed by Sport England.

Cllr Tim Dumper said: “I fully support this. We have been behind this application all the way.

“It’s been a very good job done by Sport England, our people and everybody who’s worked on this. It’s great to see a national body coming in with local consultation.”

The plan will now be considered by East Devon District Council.
