Design Team Appointed for Swadlincote Leisure and Office Development
South Derbyshire District Council has appointed a multi-disciplinary team to design and deliver the brand-new Leisure and Office Development in Swadlincote.
The new scheme, based on Cadley Park off William Nadin Way, will replace the existing Green Bank Leisure Centre and provide high quality office and conferencing facilities to the local area, creating a modern community hub that combines high-quality leisure facilities with flexible, sustainable office space. Scheduled for completion in Spring 2028, the development represents a major investment in the future of the District.
Appointments:
CPMG Architects – design lead
Chord Consult – mechanical & electrical engineering
Hexa Consulting – civil, structural & transport engineering
Cadence Projects – project management
Coreus Group – cost consultancy
Ares – landscape architecture
The team brings a proven track record of delivering large-scale projects across the UK, as well as experience in shaping local schemes that prioritise community benefit, sustainability and value for money.
Councillor Robert Pearson, Leader of South Derbyshire District Council, said:
“This is a significant milestone for Swadlincote and for South Derbyshire. The appointed partners bring both expertise and creativity and we are confident they will deliver a facility that truly meets the needs of our community.
“Swadlincote deserves a modern leisure centre that promotes health and wellbeing, alongside flexible office space that can support the Council and provide opportunities for local businesses. This project is not just about new buildings, it is about creating a place that people are proud of, that brings the community together, and that reflects our ambition for the future.”
Next steps
The delivery team will now work with the Council on detailed designs, informed by community consultation and local needs analysis. Their approach will draw on best practice from similar projects ensuring the new development is accessible, environmentally sustainable and designed to serve the District for generations to come.
