Plans unveiled to open new Hartlepool spa and wellness centre complete with saunas and ice baths
Plans have been lodged to open a new spa and wellness centre.
Proposals have been submitted to Hartlepool Development Corporation to transform the first, second and third floors of 48 Church Street, which were last used as apartments.
The application from Amy Blohm, from Blohmskie, states the development will include the creation of purpose-designed treatment rooms, ice bath therapy zones and full-size commercial saunas.
A planning statement notes the centre would operate on a membership-based system and be open to the general public, providing “structured, affordable access to physical and mental health support services”.
It states: “The proposed development will transform vacant upper floors into a vibrant, health-focused community asset that supports both public wellbeing and economic regeneration.”
It adds it will “create a high-quality, specialist wellness facility in the heart of the town centre” and provide two full-time and four part-time jobs.
The ground floor of the property is currently occupied as a licensed late-night bar and restaurant and is unaffected by the proposal.
