Mid Sussex District Council has turned down plans to convert derelict tennis courts in Haywards Heath into a temporary padel facility, citing inadequate evidence on noise impacts. The decision followed significant opposition from residents worried about disturbance in a quiet area, despite support from others who saw benefits for the community. The proposal aimed to introduce the growing racket sport to the site at St Francis Sports and Social Club.
