Please find below some notes which are intended to help members understand the plans which have been drawn up (The plans were drawn up after consultation with all members of Stourport Sports Club). The notes are not exhaustive but contain some of the main bits of information which are useful to know when looking at the plans. Please remember that the plans are not final and have only at this stage just been submitted for approval, they may be subject to change.
ExternalThe new building is currently planned to be built on the original foundations and will follow the same footprint, so the external shape of the building will be very similar to the original. The roofline is proposed to be lower and the clock tower has been replaced by a ventilation beehive. The plans also include a separate entrance for the function room. The building will be sited in the same place.

InternalInside the building the central corridor has been retained and the function room remains very similar at the back of the building. The garages are no longer a part of the building and will be relocated elsewhere on site. The whole building will also be level, there will no longer be a ramp down the central corridor.
The left hand side of the building is now solely devoted to social facilities, operations, bar and catering. There is an extra lounge/bar that has been created at the front of the building which in conjunction with the existing function room will allow 2 social facilities to be used at the same time. The lounge at the front of the building can also be divided into meeting room space. The kitchen is now on the same side as the bar to ensure operations are smoother and easier.
The right hand side of the building is devoted to changing rooms and toilets. There are 4 changing rooms in total which are all slightly larger than the previous ones. They all include additonal showers and a toilet in each one. There are also now 2 separate male and female toilet blocks, which are also larger than the previous ones. The first aid room, disabled toilet/shower and referees changing rooms are still included at the far right of the building.
It is intended that everyday access to the building will be through the main entrance at the front of the building. Sports users will then enter the changing rooms and leave through the "sports entrance/exit" on the far right of the building. When returning to the building to change they will enter through the "sports entrance/exit" to access the changing rooms and then access the lounge from here. There is a set of doors half way along the main corridor which can be used to divide the building. If there is a function taking place and the front lounge is being used these can be closed to keep both events separate. Both events will access a toilet block either side of the doors. Function room users will access their function via the entrance at the back of the building that goes directly into the function room.
