Plans for padel courts and a tattoo studio are among the latest planning applications submitted to Bexley council.

Proposals have been submitted by Crook Log Sports Centre in Brampton Road, Bexleyheath, to install four new courts at its site.

The plans include associated glass panels, fencing, and an all-weather canopy to allow for year-round play.

In Bexley, a change of use application has been lodged to turn the ground floor of the former Anthony Martin estate agent’s office in Bourne Road into a tattoo studio.

The planning application states it would give the high street a “fresh business type” and could reflect the growing popularity of “creative, service-led enterprises in smaller town centres”.

Plans have also been lodged to convert office space in Broadway, Bexleyheath, into four homes.

Other recent applications include:

- Display of one illuminated fascia and one non-illuminated sign at Lloyds Bank in Bexleyheath.

- Installation of illuminated fascia and totem signs in Maidstone Road, Sidcup.

- Replacement of a bowling green with two padel tennis courts at Sidcup Conservative Club in Oxford Road, including a canopy, lighting and landscaping.

- Works to trees protected by preservation orders at Bexley College, Holly Hill Campus, Belvedere, and at the rear of properties in Weir Road and Upper Park Road.

- Construction of a two-storey building to create four self-contained residential units on land near Craydene Road, Erith.
