Weβre saddened to share that Kingston Council has refused our planning application. Their refusal was due to concerns about the facilityβs impact on Kingston Town Centre and insufficient proof that the unit couldnβt find an industrial tenant. (despite it being empty for 3 years). A big thank you to our sponsors Franklin for their support from the outset. Though we did not succeed this time, Pickleball is at the start of its journey in London. Other authorities will surely recognise the need for dedicated facilities and the physical, mental and social benefits as they are undeniableβ¦
