A new build pavilion and clubhouse at Marshfield Cricket Club
Marshfield, South Gloucestershire, 2022
This exciting new pavilion and new clubhouse proposal seeks to replace the existing cricket pavilion at Marshfield Cricket Club with a new single storey building. The new facilities have the ability to serve the wider community of Marshfield, as well providing MCC with considerably improved facilities that meet the standards set out by the ECB and Sport England.
The scheme responds to the corner siting by cranking the plan by 30°. Not only does this respond to the corner location, it also alleviates the pinch point on the playing surface in a way that a linear plan would not.
The cranked plan will not only focus attention to the playing area, it will offer the chance of informal post-match gatherings on a terrace that widens to almost 5m before tapering back to 2m at either end of the building.
Working closely with the Cricket Club's Steering Committee as well as other local parties, the submission is the culmination of a great deal of hard work from a lot of volunteers and contributors.
The scheme received Outline Planning approval in May 2021 with positive feedback and support from both South Gloucestershire and the Parish council.
