A NEW golf simulator and sandwich bar could be coming to Shaftesbury if plans are given the green light.

The prospective tenants of Unit 2D at the Wincombe Business Centre in the town have submitted a change of use plan that would see a new business catering to golf lovers created in the area, aptly called Tee-Time.

The golf simulator would sit on the first floor and would be used by one person at a time on a pre-booked basis, while the sandwich takeaway bar would occupy the ground floor.

“The intention is that the takeaway will be available to customers using the golf simulator or, predominantly, to ‘walk-ins’ from others working at the Wincombe Business Centre,” the plans stated.

“There are no alterations proposed to the exterior of the building and visitors will be able to utilise the existing three car park spaces on-site,” it added.

Councillor Jack Jeans of Shaftesbury Town Council welcomed the plans.

“Golf is becoming very popular amongst many of our Shaftesbury residents,” he said. “There are no other facilities like this in the town and I think it would be a fantastic opportunity for our residents.”
