Unanimous approval from councillors for Corringham homes and sports development
By Nub News Reporter 15th Apr 2026
THURROCK planning councillors, in their last decision before a new committee will be formed in the new civic year after May's elections, unanimously backed a development in the heart of Corringham that will see demolition of the existing Springhouse Sports Club and its buildings - which will be replaced by 81 new homes and a new sports and social facility, including an artificial grass pitch with floodlighting.
Planning officers said the plans offer "significant improvements" to local sports provision, with new facilities including badminton courts, a climbing wall, gym and studio space, pétanque terrain, a dedicated bowls green, two bars, a café/restaurant and outdoor terrace.
The new facilities will be open to the wider community on a pay‑to‑play basis rather than to club members only.
