Works to changing rooms at 353 Reading Road Henley

In order to provide changing accommodation for a proposed 3G pitch at Jubilee Park, Reading Road, Henley, alterations to the existing changing rooms at Jubilee Park are required. The Football Foundation require:

i) 2 team changing rooms including safeguarding screen, WC and handbasin and cubicled showers

ii) 2 officials changing rooms with shower, WC and handbasin

iiii) Male, female and accessible toilet provision separate from the changing rooms

v) Changing rooms will need to meet Football Foundation best practice with regard to safeguarding and accessibility, cubicle showers, DDA WC/Change etc

There is a block of 10 changing rooms on site currently, though 5 of these do not have hot water supplies and are being used for storage. Minor works are required to the 2 large changing rooms to fulfil item i) and alterations are required to other changing rooms to provide the new toilet accommodation and officials changing rooms.

The site of the changing rooms is part of Site J in the Joint Henley and Harpsden Neighbourhood Plan and is allocated for the development of around 50 dwellings. An outline planning application is currently with the local authority and following this, marketing of the site will indicate whether the proposed housing development is a viable project for the Council. With this in mind, the Council is seeking cost effective means of achieving the facilities necessary to service the 3G football pitch.

The council also currently provides 4 changing rooms and an official's room for use with the existing Astroturf pitch at Jubilee Park. The same number of changing rooms for the Astroturf will be required going forward and works are required to create these changing spaces.

Details are in the accompanying documentation.
