A pirate-themed golf course looks set to get the go ahead.

Maldon District Council planning officers have recommended that councillors approve plans for an 18-hole adventure golf course at the Central Area Planning Committee on October 22.

The proposal is for land west of Marine Parade Park Drive, Maldon.

The course would include pirate-themed props and structures with a cafeteria and clad storage containers.

The applicant is Martin Devine of South West Adventure Golf Ltd.

Four letters of objection were sent to the council, which highlighted how the Prom had been “given to the people of Maldon with rules and restrictions”.

Objections were also made regarding the sale of alcohol.
