PLANS have been submitted to Torfaen County Borough Council to build a spectator stand and football dugouts at playing fields in Cwmbran.
The plans involve construction of football-style dugouts, a small grandstand, new paths and a security fence at the playing fields at Maendy Way in West Pontnewydd.
Submitted on behalf of Colin Howells, the plans are intended to improve the playing fields and to provide an area for spectators.
The pitches are currently in use by Coed Eva Football Club.
The application form submitted indicates that 0.01 hectacres of public open space will be lost if the plans are approved and construction goes ahead.
As the land has not previously been built on, it is greenfield land.
