Concept To Build A New Leisure Centre In Bingham Approved
Construction work on a new £20million leisure centre in Nottinghamshire may start in Summer 2020 if the plans are given the go-ahead.
The concept to build a leisure centre in Bingham have been approved by Rushcliffe Borough Council.
Investigations into the feasibility of a centre at Chapel Lane, Bingham have been underway since October 2018, when Gleeds was initially appointed to produce a study into the business case for a mixed leisure and commercial development at the site.
Following a review of its findings, the council has opted to go ahead with the reports proposals as part of the delivery of its wider masterplan for the Town.
CPMG, the architect responsible for the Rushcliffe Arena development in West Bridgford, has submitted its initial proposals as part of the study. In addition to the leisure centre, which includes both swimming and fitness space, outline proposals illustrate much-needed community space, 10,000ft2 of commercial office and plans to bring an adjacent industrial unit back into use.
Michael Davies, Director of Gleeds in Nottingham, said: "Rushcliffe Borough Council is set to deliver a high specification leisure and community facility for residents of Bingham and at Gleeds we are delighted that it has accepted our recommendation to proceed. The planned new facilities perfectly dovetail with the council's overarching masterplan for the area, which seeks to support healthy lifestyles and complement the continued growth of the town and the local economy.
