This is where we keep local residents informed of any planning applications affecting the park and immediate surrounding areas.

The planning application from Orpington Football Club was decided upon at the planning committee on 9th November and representatives of Goddington Park residents attended.

The application was passed however the council website has not yet been updated with details of the decision and it is understood there were some restrictions applied. The planning application details can be viewed here. You can see a mock up of the new pavilion in July’s Orpington 1st.

In 2021, Orpington Football Club applied to Bromley Council to demolish the existing pavilion and build a new two storey building at the upper end of the park between the tennis court and Park Lodge. This application was rejected because the proposal is in a Green Belt area. Orpington Football Club held a consultation in May to tell the community about their plans to submit a fresh, slightly revised, application. We’ll keep you posted when the application is live so that you may comment if you wish. Also keep an eye on our Latest News page.
