Kingston upon Thames

Alteration to existing property, Sited in Greenbelt land
This sports club in Kingston is located in Metropolitan Open Land (MOL). The project received planning permission from the London Borough of Kingston in October 2025. The section 106 agreement is currently being negotiated. The brief from our client was to improve the club’s facilities including: new padel tennis new swimming pool large modern gym exercise rooms changing rooms medical facilities café and changing rooms. Social spaces and bar. Creche These new facilities will help to retain the existing membership and attract new members. We analysed the entire site to anticipate how changes to buildings, car parking and landscape might be developed over time. We initially developed ‘test fits’ or spatial diagrams which helped our client clarify their requirements and future needs. We established what sports facilities were needed in the borough and how the project would contribute to meeting the needs of the local community.
