[Brighton] Peter Pan Playground redevelopment - "Sea Lanes"

[Bozza]

This sounds like an interesting development and would be a good addition to the city...

Brighton & Hove City Council has agreed to a long lease for a swimming pool project dubbed Sea Lanes at the long-vacant Peter Pan’s playground in Madeira Drive 800 metres east of Brighton Pier.

Sea Lanes forms part of a wider £1 billion regeneration plan for Brighton seafront and the developers behind the complex of open air swimming pools believe the facility will be the first of its kind in the country. Developers Copsemill Properties and SwimTrek hope it will become a national centre for open water swimming.

Plans include a heated, open-air 50-metre long eight-lane pool, showers, sauna, changing rooms, studios for training, therapy rooms, exercise and yoga facilities, a café, retail, offices, a function room and a bike hire facility.

A planning application is anticipated at the end of the summer with an 18 month build time.

I look forward to seeing the plans for a mock-Regency swimming pool, yoga facility and office complex....as this is the only way it will get past planning.

Commencing 2025, with a vastly scaled down, visually unimpressive contender for a part in a new Channel 4 series called Bland Designs.

Sea LAINES.

Certainly anything that helps connect the marina to the town would be welcome. And, yeah, why not, a monorail or a tram all the way along Marine Parade. Sort of like the Victorians did with the Volks Railway. It's hardly rocket science. It's not even railway science.

Don't forget it has to be curved, and have a plan B ready!

 

[Dave the OAP]

We had bat collisions, so I wonder if we will have flying fish collisions put forward by the regency society?

An open air pool is going to be a kick in the teeth for Saltdean Lido.

That has dragged on for ages. At some point things just need to get done.

I may be missing something, but what is the point of an unheated, saltwater swimming pool when the sea is literally meters away?.

Maybe missing this bit

Plans include a heated, open-air 50-metre long eight-lane pool

Met one of the developers after the QPR game in a Brighton pub. He was both enthusiastic and confident about this project. Sounded great to me. 50 metre pool? [MENTION=15605]knocky1[/MENTION] will be chuffed.

Outdoor 50m Pool is right up my street or should I say Lane.

 

[Notters]

Looks like a poor version of the one in Dieppe.

Saltdean LIdo is under construction right now. No thanks to Brighton council who wouldn't pay their share when it was found that an electricity sub station had been removed. The company had to raise another £70K, which wasn't expected.
