A NEW golf clubhouse has applied for planning permission to extend its hours before the plans are even off the drawing board.

Sidcup Golf Club in Burnt Oak Lane, Sidcup, is being forced to move its clubhouse to make way for the new Sidcup sports centre.

The new clubhouse will move onto part of the grounds at Hurstmere School in Hurst Road.

The project was given planning permission in November last year and one of the conditions related to its opening hours.

It was told it could open from 7am to 11pm on Mondays to Saturdays and from 7am to 10.30pm on Sundays and bank holidays.

Now it wants to change the hours to 6.30am until midnight on Mondays to Saturdays and 6.45am to 11.30pm on Sundays and bank holidays.
