Multi-million-pound plans to regenerate a seaside leisure quarter are set to be approved by a council this week.

The revamp of Beachfields in Sheerness is set to receive the thumbs up from Swale council’s planning committee.

If approved a new 18-hole adventure golf course will be built outside the Sheppey Leisure Complex which will also receive a two-storey extension.

Inside the new look centre will be an upgraded gym and sports hall, as well as a new cafe.

There will also be an expanded GP facility on the ground floor of a revamped Healthy Living Centre, which sits next to the complex.

Meanwhile, three new large community rooms for events, a waiting room, multiple office spaces, and a kitchen will all be created for the health and wellbeing charity, Sheppey Matters.

A new footpath between Sheerness railway station and the centre will also be built.

The plans, submitted to the council in June, are the largest part of its £20 million Sheerness Revival project.

Councillors will vote on the proposals at 7pm on Thursday (January 16) in Swale House in East Street, Sittingbourne.

In December the scheme hit a “great milestone” when the council awarded Etec Group the contract to carry out the works, the value of which is not public knowledge.

Etec has worked on other projects in the county such as Larkfield Leisure Centre near Maidstone, Leybourne Lakes and Bouverie Place in Folkestone.

The occupants of the Healthy Living Centre, Minster Medical Group’s surgery and Sheppey Matters, have already moved out so that the works can get underway.

It has been funded by the government’s Levelling Up fund and also includes the revamp of Masters House and Sheppey College run by East Kent Colleges Group (EKC), the revamp of which has already been approved.

The scheme aims to create new job opportunities while improving the health, wellbeing, education and leisure facilities on Sheppey – one of the poorest places in not only Kent but the UK, according to the government’s latest deprivation research.

When the plans were first revealed there was disappointment from some who said they did not go far enough.

For example, many people had called for the swimming pool to get a makeover.

The pool was one of four facilities earmarked to be upgraded as a “priority” in Swale council’s revamp “wish list”.

The authority’s strategy for its leisure sites is part of its measures to prepare the borough for a population boom over the next decade-and-a-half.
