Overall length 54.0 metres approx 175' 0" Maximum height 12.5 metres approx 40' 0" Height to eaves 6.0 metres approx 19' 6" The general look and feel of the building is to be an informal leisure building reflecting and keeping with the domestic buildings that surround it and therefore sympathetic to its neighbours and not overbearing or alien. An early design for a shiny steel clad building with curved roofs was considered but a Cricket Pavilion look was chosen as more welcoming appropriate and acceptable to the members the neighbours and the council alike. The maximum build area that the site would support will be developed, whilst at the same time retaining all the tennis courts, car park, and the bowling green. Both junior tennis courts are rotated and relocated to the Gertrude Road end of the site, and that end of the building will act as a practice wall. The site is one metre lower than the road at that end thus allowing the 6 metre eaves of the new building to be at the same height as the eaves of the houses on Gertrude Road. The end of the building towards Oak Tree Close will be 3 metres from the boundary rather than 1.5 metres as at present and nearly 7 metres from the gable end of the nearest house. The building line is only one metre further into the car park than the existing building, the extra width being gained by using the pathway between the club house and the bowling green. The assorted collection of wooden huts all go with new facilities being provided in the main building.
