The Site
David Lloyd Leisure has identified land within The Valley, Evesham as the ideal location for a premium health and wellness club, designed to serve Evesham and surrounding communities. The proposed club will be carefully integrated into the surrounding context and landscape, while reinforcing The Valley’s role as a key destination for recreation, health, and wellbeing in the region.
The proposed site is situated within The Valley, retail and leisure destination, adjacent to one of the centre’s main car parks and close to the A46 and Twyford Roundabout.
The site is well-screened by trees and hedgerows.
Why this location?
The proposed site is already part of a busy leisure and shopping area. A David Lloyd Club in this location would enable people to combine activities, whether that’s popping into the club for a swim after lunch or enjoying a coffee after a gym class.
The site's proximity to the established retail and leisure hub at The Valley provides a valuable opportunity for synergy, supporting local economic activity and encouraging linked trips between the proposed club and businesses situated within the scheme.
As well as bringing new health and wellbeing facilities to Evesham, the club will support local businesses at The Valley by encouraging more visits and offering a high-quality place for people to spend time.
The proposed club has been designed to serve both visitors of The Valley and the local community, offering high-quality amenities including a wellness spa, fitness suites, family-friendly facilities, and flexible social spaces that respond to existing gaps in the local leisure provision.
What is the site’s history?
The proposed site has previously been granted planning consent for leisure use comprising a JCB Theme Park “Diggerland” and a car park extension. this proposal has set a precedent for the site, with particular emphasis placed on potential leisure uses.
