All Saints Church, Alexander Drive, Douglas closed as a church in May 2017

A former church in Douglas could be converted into a gym, if planners give their approval.

The application (23/01454/GB) is for the All Saints Church, Alexander Drive, Douglas. The application (23/01453/CON) is also relevant to this application due to the building being registered.

Having closed as a church, due to lack of numbers, and been sold, Landscape Limited’s plans would see it converted into a gym with two sets of locker rooms, as well as weights and other resistance equipment on the ground floor.

The upper mezzanine level would be home to cardio equipment, a 3D body scanning room, meeting room and a rest area.

As the former church is a registered building, it is intended to retain the existing hard floor and cover it with matting, while all lights and internal walls will be retained and improved to modern standards, all windows will be maintained.

The site includes 21 parking spaces, as well as ‘at least’ five bike and motorbike parking spaces.
