Exciting future for Guiseley AFC

Watson Batty Architects are delighted to support their local football team Guiseley AFC with plans for the redevelopment of their existing Nethermoor Park ground.  A planning application has recently been submitted to Leeds City Council by the Conference North football club which includes new covered spectator stands, a new changing room facility, and a new two storey community hub building.  Proposed improvements to the ground will increase the spectator capacity to 4000 allowing the Club to meet league requirements when promoted to the Conference Premier division – Step 1 of the national league system – just one promotion from the Football League.

  

The new plans represent a significant long term investment by the Club not only to support their football aspirations but to serve and benefit their local community seven days a week. The new hub building will include a ground floor social enterprise café whilst on the first floor a multi-functional social space provides match day hospitality.

On non match days the upper floor can be divided into three separate spaces with pitch-side views providing areas for learning, meetings, entertaining, and use by various local community groups and local schools. 

A number of established community groups, programmes and prominent individuals have already pledged their support towards the new development including AVSED, Action for Children and Stuart Andrew MP.
