Controversial plans not to reopen the Kenilworth's leisure facilities after lockdown have come in the same week as Warwick District Council have submitted a planning application for the redevelopment work at Abbey Fields Leisure Centre.
A planning application for the "Demolition of existing swimming pool and outdoor pool and redevelopment to provide two new indoor swimming pools and associated changing facilities with ancillary cafe, boundary treatment and landscaping" has been validated (January 28) for discussion by the district council's planning committee.
The application can be found on the WDC website by following this link and comes as Phase Two of the WDC Leisure Development Program.
A decision will be made by the planning committee once Kenilworth Town Council, local residents, and relevant local committees and bodies have had chance to revue the application.
If approved, the plans, which have been completed by DarntonB3 Architects, will see the current outdoor and indoor pools replaced by two indoor pools. The larger will be 25m (five lane) with spectator seating and the second a 15m x 8m family pool with access to an outdoor terrace.
Also to be built are:
- Reception, Foyer
