Construction work is due to start this year on a multi-million pound leisure centre with a swimming pool, sports hall and outdoor pitches at Plymouth’s new town.
Plans are progressing for the facility at the £1bn Sherford development which will include an indoor 25-metre, four-lane heated swimming pool, sports hall, soft-play area, gym, fitness studio, café, changing facilities for outdoor pitches and courts, and a 100-plus space car park. It is planned to be ready in 2024.
The leisure centre marks a major investment in the creation of community facilities at Sherford, and will be led by the Sherford Consortium, the developers responsible for new town – a partnership between Taylor Wimpey and Vistry Partnerships, which includes Linden Homes and Bovis Homes.
