Plumpton Pavilion could be knocked down for new facility to be built

The Pavilion at the King George V Playing Field in Plumpton, near Lewes, will be knocked down and a new facility built in its place if plans are approved. Pottinger Design Engineers assessed the building in April and found structural defects in the timber walls and flooring. As well as that, there were safeguarding concerns due to direct sight lines into changing rooms from publicly accessible corridors and no player toilets available in the changing rooms.

This meant that players needed to share toilet facilities with the public. What the new bar could look like (Image: Lewes District Council) If the new plans are approved, the pavilion will have more space for the pre-school Honeybees which runs from it, an indoor play area and an outdoor play..
