The proposal was put forward by A2Dominion, which had secured funding from Chichester District Council for the gym.

It is part of a wider plan to refurbish Swanfield Park in order to make it ‘a more accessible and inclusive environment the local community can use’, according to the planning application.

Funding has also been secured to transform the nearby children’s play area, which was closed after being deemed ‘unsafe’, the application stated.
