Yorkshire have included permanent floodlights in their redevelopment plan for Headingley which the committee approved yesterday and will now go before the club's members for ratification at an extraordinary annual meeting in the ground's indoor cricket school on Wednesday, September 20.If Yorkshire now receive the £2.9m lottery cash they have been promised in principle and all goes according to plan the project should be completed by the start of next season.The cost of the floodlights, for which Yorkshire have yet to get planning approval, has bumped up the sum total of the redevelopment to the £10m mark.The project includes a members' long room which will contain hospitality boxes which can be converted into over 30 bed and breakfast units.Yorkshire chairman Keith Moss expressed delight that the negotiations with their landlords had now been concluded and a new lease signed which will give Yorkshire a share of the profits from the ground's outlets for the first time."Members will be relieved that Headingley's future has finally been resolved and that they will at last be able to enjoy first class facilities," he said.
