The Purley Leisure centre plans are now available for public viewing and comment under reference 24/00775/FUL.

Sanderstead Residents’ Association provided comments during the pre-application stage saying that the planned parking provision was inadequate. The current multi-storey car park has over 400 spaces and the application has only 32 spaces for the leisure centre. We also said there should be a drop off area – particularly for coaches when school groups visit. Neither of these issues has been addressed in the submitted plans.

The plans include:

  • two new pools
  • huge gym
  • restaurant & bar
  • shops
  • large community square
  • improved access from High Street to the station
  • 220 “Integrated Retirement Community” flats
  • 50 short-term car spaces + 28 for residents
