A multi-sports all-weather 1,500 square metre facility could be built in Egremont after Copeland planners raised no objections.The artificial pitch with a four-lane running track, which would be used for football, tennis, netball and cricket, will now go to county council for a final decision because of its size.The £110,000 facility on Bookwell Primary School’s playing field would not be open to the public.And the school’s headteacher, Russell Hardy, confirmed that there will be no evening or weekend use and no floodlighting.However, Mr Hardy said, if the facility is a success, the school could try to work with planners to open it up for public use “in a few years”.
