Following a consultation period, four objections were lodged by residents who raised concerns about noise, the loss of green and historic spaces, and “visual clutter”.
They also took issue with the impact it would have on the “character and tranquillity” of the area, the park’s trees and wildlife, and nearby Butterfly Garden.
Others, however, considered the course to be a positive addition to the town, and said it would bring a disused area into use and “promote fun and activity”.
