Brean
golf course set to expand after planners give scheme approval
Delighted
bosses at Brean Golf Club, near Burnham-On-Sea, are celebrating
after this week winning the go-ahead for a major expansion of
their course.
Brean
Leisure Park applied to extend the 18 hole, 5715 yard course onto
agricultural land to the south of Martins Hill Farm at Red Road
- and planners have this week given it the green light.
Course
professional David Haines told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "We're
delighted - it's excellent news for Brean and our members."
 Several
holes at the course will be expanded (as shown above) and when
it is completed - in the Spring of 2008 - there will also two
new lakes for players to navigate around.
Mr
Haines said: "The back nine holes will be changing completely
with the course being extended by about 600 yards in length."
"This
will make it a lot more of a challenge and more interesting for
players. We'll have two new water features which will also make
it more difficult."
Meanwhile,
a separate planning application from the club to build a new clubhouse
and car parking area was deferred to allow planners to visit the
site and assess whether the building would have any impact on
the surrounding landscape.
