Alliance Leisure has submitted a planning application to Swale Borough Council for the ambitious redevelopment of the Sheppey Leisure Complex and Healthy Living Centre at Beachfields.
This project, part of the £20 million Sheerness Revival initiative, promises to transform the leisure landscape for the Island and improve the health and wellbeing of the local community.
The proposed plans include a significant expansion of the existing facility, modernizing the GP practice, creating a new café, upgrading the gym, and introducing innovative activities like soft play and tag active.
The redevelopment also aims to enhance outdoor spaces, improving connectivity with the park, town centre, and railway station, while adding adventure golf and expanding the splash pad area.
This project is one of three transformative initiatives under the Sheerness Revival project, funded by the UK Government.
In addition to the Beachfields redevelopment, plans for a Sheppey College extension and additional business units at Masters House have also been submitted for planning permission.
Cllr Monique Bonney, chair of the economy and property committee, said:
"The Sheerness Revival programme is all about making a real difference in people's lives.
“We are grateful to everyone who provided feedback to the consultation on the draft plans, and these have helped shape the final proposals.
“These new leisure facilities are a key part of our vision for a healthier, happier Sheerness, and we're excited to see this project move forward.
The redevelopment plans have been informed by extensive community consultation, helping the project reflect the needs and desires of local residents.
If approved, the Sheppey Leisure Complex and Healthy Living Centre will become a good quality community asset for years to come.
