Big plans by local canoe club

Edenderry Canoe Club is planning a new clubhouse.

The club has sought planning permission to develop the facility at its existing base at Woodfield, Blundell.

The application refers to a a new six-bay, contemporary style lightweight, single-storey building on the site of the existing club, which is now housed in two converted shipping containers.

The new clubhouse will consist of a boardroom, a kitchenette, boat storage, gear storage, changing rooms and toilet facilities. The existing previously granted containers will remain on site to be used as additional storage.

A decision is due by September 11.
