The Committee was informed that the proposal involved the renovation of the existing Pavilion building and the construction of an outside terrace area. The proposal would improve the facilities available, supporting the Frinton and Walton Football Club and the wider community.

The proposals were considered by Officers to be of a size, scale and design in keeping with the existing building and there were no concerns raised regarding the impact on the neighbouring residential properties in Herongate, given the existing use of the site.
