Issue details

To seek approval for the external detailed designs submitted by Everyone Active for a remodelled Fareham Leisure Centre.

The Executive agreed on the 04 November 2019 to award a 10-year contract for the management of Fareham and Holly Hill Leisure Centres to SLM, otherwise known as Everyone Active.  It also agreed to the capital investment required, particularly at Fareham Leisure Centre to help deliver improved revenue.

The development of the design for Fareham Leisure Centre has been overseen by an officer project team and the designs are now at a stage where Everyone Active is ready to submit a planning application.

The Leisure and Community Scrutiny Panel commented on the designs on 25 February 2020.

The proposed detailed external designs, as contained in Appendix A, are presented for approval.  There may be a requirement to make some minor amendments to the designs.

If approved, the designs will be submitted to the Council as part of a planning application later in March 2020.  The estimated determination date will be in May 2020, following a period of public consultation.
