FAQ

FAQ

This section helps us understand your padel project clearly so we can provide accurate advice on feasibility, costs, planning considerations, and next steps.

Still have questions?

aurorapadelclubs@gmail.com
Where are you currently with your project?

Please select the option that best describes your position:

  • Just an idea / early exploration
  • Site identified, feasibility underway
  • Proceeding and preparing for planning permission
  • Planning approved, ready to build

Understanding your stage allows us to tailor guidance around risk, cost, and timelines.

Will the courts be indoor or outdoor?

Indoor courts typically face fewer objections related to noise and lighting but may require a change of use and careful consideration of traffic and parking.

Outdoor courts are more sensitive in planning terms, particularly near residential areas, and often require noise mitigation measures.

Is the building suitable for padel?
If indoor courts are proposed

Key requirements include:

  • Flat, level floor
  • Suitable load-bearing capacity for courts and glass structures
  • Ceiling height of 9 metres strongly recommended (absolute minimum approx. 8.5 metres)

A structural survey is commonly required to confirm suitability.

What is your tenure?
  • Owned freehold
  • Leasehold / rented

If the site is rented, important considerations include:

  • Length of lease and break clauses
  • Dilapidation costs at lease end
  • Business rates
  • Repairing and insuring obligations
  • Whether padel use is permitted under the lease
Have you studied local padel and sports competition?

This should include:

  • Existing padel clubs and proposed developments
  • Other indoor sports facilities (tennis, squash, gyms)
  • Pricing structures and court availability
  • Peak vs off-peak demand
  • Strengths and weaknesses of competitors

This analysis is critical to avoid oversupply and protect long-term viability.

Does local demand support sustainable pricing?

We typically assess:

  • Local population density and demographics
  • Affluence and sports participation levels
  • Current and future supply versus demand
  • Realistic court utilisation rates

Padel markets can become competitive quickly if capacity outpaces demand.

Do you have quotes or preferred suppliers?

Key points to consider:

  • Courts must meet SAPCA standards (required for LTA recognition)
  • Supplier choice impacts compliance, insurance, and maintenance
  • Imported courts involve additional considerations:
    • Shipping and customs
    • Storage and unloading
    • Installation logistics
What budget should we allow for?

Costs vary significantly by site and specification. As a rough guide per court:

Groundworks (greenfield / green belt)
£20,000 – £40,000 Excavation, foundations, layers, ring beam support
Court supply & installation
£20,000 – £40,000+ Dependent on manufacture location, shipping, customs, and assembly
Canopy structure (if applicable)
£20,000 – £40,000+

Additional costs often include:

  • Planning application fees
  • Consultant fees (planning, acoustic, highways, ecology, structural)
  • Power, lighting, fencing, access paths
  • Contingency allowances (strongly recommended)

Indoor courts

  • Generally fewer issues with noise and lighting
  • Often require change of use
  • May be constrained by zoning, traffic, and parking

Outdoor courts

  • Noise impact assessments commonly required
  • Sound mitigation may be necessary
  • Proximity to residential properties is critical

Early planning advice can save significant time and cost.

Once we understand the answers above, we can support you with:

  • Site feasibility and suitability assessment
  • Planning strategy and risk management
  • Court supplier selection and compliance
  • Cost benchmarking and budget validation
  • Commercial modelling and viability review
