Furious neighbours are battling to stop a super-sized padel tennis centre next an an existing rival site, which they argue would stop them from being able to relax in their gardens.

Plans for the site were lodged with the local council, which sparked backlash from residents arguing that the centre would create a huge traffic problem and be very noisy in the area.

Since the company, Advantage Padel, tabled the proposals for the warehouse in Christchurch, Dorset, 25 locals have now objected to it.

The new centre will have nine full-size courts, as well as four singles courts, which would mean up to 44 people could play at the same time.

This would add to an already established padel tennis business located within the same industrial complex.
