Edgbaston Priory Club's £10m revamp given go ahead

The tennis and squash centre will be transformed by the introduction of a new sunken centre court with a capacity of 1,000 permanent seats, increasing to 2,500 seats during major competitions.

Designed by Glenn Howells Architects, the redevelopment also includes the building of a new six-court indoor tennis centre, creating an all-year tennis facility.

The existing Clubhouse will be extensively remodelled and refurbished, creating improved leisure facilities.

These include a new second floor gym and studio with access to roof terraces and views across the site.

Glenn Howells said: "The investment in the redevelopment of Edgbaston Priory Club will significantly improve community access to tennis across Birmingham and the wider Midlands area."
