Harrogate Borough Council has approved plans for a new clubhouse for Sicklinghall Cricket Club after an arson attack destroyed its previous building.
The club has been using temporary shipping containers since the fire in 2016 while fundraising for a replacement clubhouse.
It lodged proposals in November for a new facility with home and away changing rooms, kitchen, storage facility, toilet and scorer’s box. The club said it could be used for other community or sports events.
The club, which is situated between Wetherby and Kirkby Overblow, has played in the village since 1925 and is currently in the top tier of the Leeds and Wetherby Cricket League.
The club is within walking distance of Sicklinghall and the application will provide sports facilities for local children.
