Spanning six acres and offering an outdoor pool and padel courts, the scheme would transform a chunk of Bidston Dock that was filled more than 20 years ago.
Wirral Council is expected to approve plans for a 56,000 sq ft David Lloyd health club as part of the evolving Wirral Waters masterplan next week.
Next week its strategic applications sub-committee will run the rule over the plans, which were submitted last April.
David Lloyd Leisure wants to build three tennis courts protected by an enclosed air dome, six canopy-covered padel courts, and an indoor sports hall providing a further two full-size padel courts.
Indoor and outdoor pools have been planned, as well as spa facilities, a gym, and fitness studio spaces.
In addition, the club would add a multi-use court and a ‘battle box’ exercise facility to its external area.
A children’s area with soft play, café and lounge facilities, and a business hub with a terrace round off the proposals.
The plot is in Peel Waters’ Bidston Dock site accessed from Wallasey Bridge Road, part of the Wirral Waters masterplan.
Lichfields is advising the leisure company. To learn more, search for reference number APP/25/00597 on Wirral Council’s planning portal.
