Design work underway for Cranbrook Leisure Centre project

Design work is now underway for the new Cranbrook Leisure Centre in Devon.

Proposals for the centre include a 25-metre and learner pool, a health club with a gym floor and fitness studios, a soft play area and a café.

East Devon District Council (EDDC), which will own the centre, is looking to gain residents’ feedback on the proposals, in order to shape the plans to meet the needs of Cranbrook’s growing population, expected to reach more than 20,000 people.

Two engagement events are planned, with the first set to take place in early 2026. Following engagement with residents, the planning application for the leisure centre is expected to be submitted in Autumn 2026, with on-site work scheduled for Summer 2027.
