North Yorkshire Council has approved a redesigned headquarters for Filey Sea Cadets after an earlier proposal was rejected.

North Yorkshire Council has approved plans for a new headquarters for Filey Sea Cadets following a major redesign of an earlier rejected proposal. The scheme involves demolishing the existing Southdene Pavilion and replacing it with a purpose-built two-storey facility on the same site.

The approved building will provide almost 951 square metres of floorspace, compared with 647 square metres in the existing building. It will include classrooms, dormitories, changing facilities, storage space, a main parade deck and community-use areas. The scheme also incorporates 23 parking spaces, cycle storage, solar panels and an air source heat pump.

Council planners had rejected an earlier proposal, stating the building was too bulky, out of character with the surrounding residential area and provided inadequate parking. In approving the revised scheme, officers said the redesign had successfully addressed these concerns. The building has been redesigned using red facing brickwork, natural slate roofing, clay tile hanging, stone detailing and black aluminium windows to better reflect the character of nearby streets. The approved scheme is also narrower than the existing building and steps down to a single-storey section adjacent to neighbouring properties.
