2014-2015
November 2015
The report to Cabinet in November responded to the request to consider options relating to Hythe Green (as the preferred location option for a new leisure centre with Princes Parade as a second choice) and KCC's involvement regarding the relocation of a new primary school for Seabrook to Princes Parade.
The subject areas covered were:
- Role of Partners,
- Potential of The Green, Hythe,
- Taking into account response of the Partners, to prepare a planning application for Princes Parade
Issues surrounding existing covenants on The Green made it an unviable option for a new pool and recreation centre and Princes Parade remained the preferred development location - although without a new primary school following KCC's failure to confirm its support.
