Newly promoted League One side Fleetwood Town FC has been granted planning permission to start work on a new £6m training complex.

Designed by architects Croft Goode, the facility will become home to Fleetwood Town’s first team, Thornton-Cleveleys FC and members of the local community.

The site, based on Poolfoot Farm in Thornton, Lancashire will house a full-size 3G pitch, as well as a number of grass pitches, associated changing rooms, classroom facilities and other community-centered facilities.

A contemporary pavilion-style clubhouse is to complement the outdoor facilities and will incorporate changing rooms, a gymnasium and a multi-function room.

“We are delighted planning permission has been granted. We hope the project will start within a matter of weeks. Once started, I anticipate the project will take up to one year to fully complete,” said Steve Curwood, chief executive of Fleetwood Town.

“I would like to thank NPL Estates and, in particular, Chairman Robert McFarlane, who have been extremely generous in gifting the land to Fleetwood Town FC. Finally, I must recognise the team at architects Croft Goode who have been a key partner in our preparations.”

The club hopes to start work on the project, which will see the complex built three miles from the club’s home ground at Highbury, in the coming weeks, with the facility taking around a year to complete.

The majority of funding will come from private sources, while the overall project is expected to generate 25 jobs.
