A new health club on the edge of a Suffolk market town looks to be taking a step closer as pictures show large frames have been erected and work is well underway.
David Lloyd Leisure Ltd was granted permission from West Suffolk Council for a reserved matters application at the 2.01 hectare site off Sandlands Drive, at Marham Park, Bury St Edmunds, in June 2023.
Plans, which were submitted in February, include the creation of a health, fitness and racquets club with a tennis dome enclosure and three tennis courts.
There will also be a Battle Box area, padel courts, indoor and outdoor swimming pool, gym and studio facilities, as well as a spa and children's soft play area.
The plans include a total of 225 car parking spaces and 20 cycle spaces.
On October 31, West Suffolk Council confirmed work had officially started on the project.
Now, residents have seen large frames erected at the site by construction workers.
The Marham Park Bury St Edmunds David Lloyd health club is set to open in 2024.
