EXMOUTH’S Olympic archery hopefuls will be forced to leave the town to train in the lead-up to London 2012 if a new all-weather archery range in Withycombe is not approved.
The club want to build a 31-metre-long, eight-target indoor archery range next to their outdoor facilities at the southern corner of Withycombe Raleigh Common.
The timber-clad design, covering 403 square metres – with an additional 52 square metres of landscaping – would be given the appearance of a ‘traditional barn’ and would be ‘sympathetic’ to the surrounding area.
The building would stand a little under five metres tall, be 12 metres wide and set into the hillside ‘to minimise the visual impact’.
