How landowners and industrial property owners can diversify land or warehouses into padel facilities – and the planning and property risks to consider. Key Takeaways Padel courts are driving new land diversification opportunities across the UK, particularly on under-utilised land and within vacant industrial units or warehouses. Planning permission is usually required, especially where outdoor courts, floodlighting, fencing or a change of use from industrial to leisure is involved.

Padel has become one of the fastest-growing participation sports in…
