Search the Public Notice PortalPlans for a new leisure development in the city including an eight-lane, 25 metre pool, have moved a step closer with a planning application for the development being submitted on Friday (24).
The planning application for the long-awaited facility was submitted to Peterborough City Council, which will now consider the plans.
If approved, the development will include an eight-lane, 25-metre swimming pool, a 20-metre activity pool with a moveable floor, a café, family play, health and wellbeing rooms, a 150-station fitness suite, two studios, and a spin studio.
Construction is expected to begin in early 2027, with completion targeted for 2028.
Councillor Shabina Qayyum, leader of Peterborough City Council, said: "I have made it clear to officers that we must pull out all the stops to deliver a new leisure centre as quickly as possible so I am pleased to see that we remain on schedule with the planning application being submitted.

"This new development is very much needed so that our residents have a modern and accessible leisure facility where they can exercise, learn to swim, have fun with family and friends and socialise.
"We are hopeful that the planning application will be determined in October which means we could begin site clearance in November, ready for main construction to start early in the new year."
Mr Pakes said: "This is a hugely welcome step forward for Peterborough. Delivering a new pool and leisure centre for our city has been one of my top priorities since the Regional Pool closed, and I’ve spent the last year working hand-in-hand with Peterborough City Council, ARU Peterborough and the City of Peterborough Swimming Club to get us to this point.
"Now our plans are moving from ambition to reality, and it couldn't come sooner.
"Residents have waited far too long for quality public leisure facilities, and this new development will support our growing city, tackle inactivity, and give families, swimmers, and young people the modern facilities they deserve."
The council announced plans for the new centre last year and secured £20 million from the Government’s Growth Mission Fund, subject to the approval of a full business case, towards the cost of the project.
The remainder of the project is expected to cost around £21 million, which the council has committed to funding.
The new leisure centre will be built south of the university and next to the Athletics Track, overlooking the Embankment.
