New boxing gym planned for Shifnal industrial estate
A £20k renovation is being planned
Plans to open a new boxing gym on a Shifnal industrial estate have been revealed.
Documents submitted to Shropshire Council have revealed plans to open a new boxing and fitness facility at Upton Mill, an industrial estate on the outskirts of Shifnal.
The planning application from Ron Dean Property Developments said a new tenant has offered to rent one of the units with the aim of setting up a “controlled membership boxing/fitness facility”.
No external changes are proposed to the unit as part of the proposal, but the addition of internal stud walls will create toilet and shower facilities.
It’s expected that the new facility will create four full-time jobs, and the documents claim the gym’s owners are hoping to undertake a £20,000 renovation.
“The site offers ample parking and is not likely to affect other Shifnal residents as we are located in a rural location away from any housing developments,” the application stated.
“We expect around 10 cars per day, which will not impact the already busy Upton Lane.”
The full application is open for public consultation until October 8, and is available to view online on Shropshire Council’s planning portal using reference number: 26/03299/FUL.
