Leighton Park School in Shinfield Road has applied for retrospective planning permission to refresh and extend an astroturf pitch.

Justifying the project, a planning agent from Savills said the pitch has become worn after 25 years of use, causing ruts to the surface and pooling water that causes a risk of injury.

Because the application is retrospective, some or all of the work has been conducted.

The project includes mitigating works to nearby trees.

To see the application, log on to Reading Borough Council’s planning website and search for reference 231860.
