The club has applied to Wealden District Council to install a 3G Alternative Grass Pitch (AGP), cricket pavilion, new cricket wicket and improved parking.
The new facilities at the grounds on the Frant Road, would benefit local schools, clubs and other community groups as well as the TWRFC, especially by allowing all-weather play, when pitches are often unplayable, said club chairman Mike Rigby.
He said: “The planning applications are now open to the public for comment – we really need members to log on and register positive comments to help support us through the application process.”
In commenting on the planning application, local residents might also consider the benefit of the proposed extra parking, which would ‘release pressure’ on nearby roads, Mr Rigby stressed.
The local community would also benefit from the 3G pitch when not in use by the club.
With the grounds straddling the Wealden and Tunbridge Wells boundary, sports enthusiasts can submit comments either at ‘planning. wealden.gov.uk/ or twbcpa.midkent.gov.uk/ online-applications
