Ambitious plans to revamp Irvine's tennis courts and build a new clubhouse have been lodged with North Ayrshire Council.Irvine Tennis Club want to provide a floodlit facility at Thornhouse Avenue with new sand-based carpet turf courts replacing the current blaes surface.A modest clubhouse, providing toilet/changing facilities and a meeting area where players can enjoy refreshments, is also central to the proposal.The club – which secured ownership of the site earlier this year through a community asset transfer – want to create three full-sized courts that meet Lawn Tennis Association standards along with two 'red court' (reduced size) facilities.These would replace the existing three full-sized courts and junior-sized ‘singles’ court.The intention is to install energy-efficient floodlights on the corners of the full-sized courts with use restricted up to, but not later than, 10pm throughout the week.The Ayrshire Live app is available to download now.Get all the local news in your area – plus features, football news and the latest on the coronavirus crisis – at your fingertips 24/7.The free download features the latest breaking news and exclusive stories while you can customise your page with the sections that matter to you.The Ayrshire Live app is available to download now on iOS and Android.A design statement submitted to the local authority states: "Irvine Tennis Community (SCIO) are looking to bring forward the modernisation and improvement of this greatly underused tennis facility through the implementation of a sustainable sports business model."The model will result in both public accessibility and club membership options.
