The indoor range could accommodate archery lanes up to 30m long.

Plans to convert the empty warehouse in Osyth Close, on Brackmills Industrial Estate, into a 30-metre indoor range have been submitted to the borough council.

Blueprints show how the site could accommodate five archers at once with separate lanes, different ranges and a safety curtain to catch stray arrows.

The conversion of the former Progressive Training Systems premises by Indoor Archery Ltd will create three new jobs, with plans to bring on three more members of staff at a later date.

A consultation is now open until January 24.
