After discussions with the local authority regarding planning permission and two mature trees within the new land a position was agreed. The proposed location ran alongside an established hedgerow and being a farmers field contained long grass and numerous undulations. There was also a substantial fall particularly down the length which had to be graded before the facility could be constructed.

Formations of the batting and bowling ends and the base for the surround surfacing can be clearly seen. To prevent future potential damage by roots from the hedgerow and the mature trees a root barrier was constructed along two edges of the facility. The completed facility with a Test Match and a Premier batting end, bowling ends and Verdegrass 14 surfacing to the surrounds.
