"Residents living near a cricket club in Cheshire are objecting to plans for new padel courts, warning the facilities would generate intolerable noise and damage property values. Alderley Edge Cricket Club, founded in 1870, has applied to Cheshire East council for permission to replace one of its 14 tennis courts with three padel courts. The proposals also include floodlighting, new pedestrian paths, and an acoustic fence intended to limit noise."
"Padel, a sport combining elements of tennis and squash, is played with solid bats on smaller courts enclosed by glass. It has grown rapidly in popularity across the UK, but its expansion has prompted disputes in several communities. One resident said the courts' location close to homes posed a serious risk to neighbours. They cited Dutch planning guidelines recommending at least 100 metres between padel courts and housing, and warned that the high-intensity and social sport would bring vociferous noise from both players and spectators."
