Family farm plans new padel centre to ensure sustainability

Plans for a six-court indoor padel centre at Offerton Grange Farm in Sunderland have been submitted to the local council. The project aims to diversify the farm’s operations as traditional agriculture becomes increasingly unsustainable. Supporting documents highlight the development's potential to enhance access to padel facilities in the North East, where demand currently exceeds supply. The design is inspired by an agricultural grain store and will include a cafe and seating area. A decision on the proposal is expected following the consultation period.
