"The lavish sports and social club, which counts the Princess of Wales as a member, wants to replace the run-down structure with a new, wooden building which "draws on traditional cricket pavilion forms" of a pitched roof, deep verandas and crafted timber detailing. If approved, the pavilion will be 165 sqm in size, almost double its current footprint. The club house is set to provide level access to a clubroom, a servery, umpire changing rooms and toilets."
"The current pavilion is made of two run-down portable cabins which are said to be at the end of their operational life and has no changing rooms for officials or toilets for spectators. There is no access to people with mobility issues or wheelchair users. The Hurlingham Club said the pavilion does not meet the "expectation of the club, its members or visitors" or the English Cricket Board (ECB) guidelines and is inaccessible to those with mobility challenges."
The Hurlingham Club in Fulham has applied to replace its more than 30-year-old pavilion with a new wooden cricket pavilion inspired by traditional forms, including a pitched roof, deep verandas and timber detailing. The proposed pavilion would be 165 sqm, nearly double the current footprint, and would provide level access to a clubroom, servery, umpire changing rooms and toilets. The existing facility consists of two portable cabins at the end of their operational life and lacks officials' changing rooms, spectator toilets and accessibility for people with mobility issues. Winter use would include croquet and youth group activities.
