Controversial plans for club house at Christchurch Quay given go-ahead

 Christchurch Sailing Club has had an application approved to build the viewing area at its Club House, adjacent to Priory Quay.

The proposal is for a new platform at roof level, looking out over the river Stour, as well as a new external staircase to access to it from the terrace that exists on the first floor.

“The new viewing platform will allow members of the sailing club to watch training and events on the river, enhancing safety on the water, and the member experience generally, whilst utilising the existing site and layout.”
