A cricket club hoping to install a new enclosed training facility as part of ground improvements could see its plans completed in the summer, provided funding and planning permission is granted.
Mr Chirag Desai has submitted to Bucks Council a planning application on behalf of Stoke Green Cricket Club, in Stoke Poges.
Plans include the ‘installation of an England and Wales Cricket Board approved three-lane system, within a safety fenced enclosure and surrounding security fence’.

The lanes will be 34 metres long and the overall footprint of the facility will be 36 metres x 12.9 metres, according to council documents.
The ‘non-turf practice facility’ will “increase the attractiveness of the club”, enable “year-round coaching sessions” and “can be used during wet weather”, additional documents suggest.
The club requires an ‘off field space for development of junior and senior cricketers’, it adds.
