PLANS for a bespoke business hub complete with a swimming pool in Newton Aycliffe have been resubmitted.

Denebridge Limited has again lodged its proposal for a building dubbed the Fish Tank to be built on land north of Cumbie Way, on Aycliffe Business Park.

The single building development would house an activity room, office space, coffee shop and hydrotherapy swimming pool which would be suitable for babies from birth. There would also be “associated ancillary accommodation” and external green space.

In planning documents, it states the project is “designed to get children active and support local family related businesses by providing a fully serviced venue”.

It continues: “The Fish Tank is a vision of Newton Aycliffe residents and business owners who recognise the need for quality leisure, support and play provision for young children and their families within the local area.”

The applicant claims the proposal would have no adverse impact on the vitality and viability of the town centre.
