A planning application has now been submitted for the new leisure centre for Kingston town centre – bringing delivery of the exciting community facility another step closer.

The proposals will create the range of activities that residents and stakeholders said they wanted to see, in an efficiently designed building that can be delivered within an affordable budget. Accessibility and inclusivity remain key features of the project, with new pedestrian links into the town centre and a range of landscaped public spaces throughout the scheme.

Should planning permission and committee approval be granted, it is envisaged that construction of the centre will start in Spring 2025, with the target for opening the new building in Spring 2027. 

Thank you to all of those who took part and gave their feedback on the proposals. The final designs reflect the comments received from the community, key stakeholders, the Design Review Panel and the planning authority. You can now view and comment on the final proposals by visiting the council’s planning portal using planning reference number 24/02624/CREG3.
