South Cliff Stabilisation Project
With a significant threat to properties and businesses behind the Spa Complex, and of course to the Spa Complex itself, in the event of a major cliff slip, this is the most significant project that we will see in our area.
In early February 2017 the project contractor, Balfour Beatty, started work to cut down the first line of trees, behind the Spa, in preparation for the full works to commence.
Visible signs of work then stopped as the formal planning application process moved on.
Full details of the planning application, including all the official planning documents, consultees (including the South Cliff Community Group) and other comments submitted by concerned residents and other interest groups, can be found on the planning portal of SBC website, using the following link -
https://planning.scarborough.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=OJQA4ANSJUP00
or going to the Scarborough Borough Council website, planning portal and entering the following reference in the search box -reference 17/00084/RG3.
Following several months of delay due to revised risk assessment and insurance cover for the project, work commenced in May 2018. It is anticipated that the works will take about 18 months to complete, subject to weather.
South Cliff / Filey Road Development
Broadlands Properties Ltd have now advised us that they anticipate that the planning application for this very significant project should be submitted during February 2019.
We will advise our members, and also through this website and our social media, when the planning application is open, which is expected in February 2019.
You will notice that this proposal does not include the land that is used by the South Cliff Bowls Club, which is now excluded from this project site.
It does include the development of 4 dwelling houses on the College Avenue site that was to have been occupied by the Bowls Club, and that were originally to have been built on the Bowls Club site which is now not going to move.
The proposals and locations for developments are (quoted from leaflet below) -
"To provide a residential development of a higher specification than has been typical of many of the developments that have taken place within the town in the last decade or so, allied with the delivery of high-quality sporting facilities. Development is proposed across four sites.
1. The former Filey Road Sports Centre – Development of circa 50 high-quality market homes (houses and apartments), including the conversion of the existing Grade II Listed pavilion.
2. College Avenue – Development of 4 high-quality market homes.
3. College Avenue – Development of circa 6 tennis courts with parking.
4. Former Bramcote School Playing Field – Development of an athletics track and the conversion of the Grade II Listed pavilion to an ancillary sporting use."
Below is a leaflet about the consultation process, and an original plan of the proposed sports facilities on the former Bramcote School playing fields site.
As soon as we are able to release current plans etc we will do so.

Crescent Arts - Changing Rooms
A proposal for the redevelopment of the old bathing huts on the promenade, near to the Spa Complex, in the area known as Children's Corner.
CHANGING ROOMS is a joint venture between Crescent Arts and Leeds Beckett University to develop a brand new beachside visual arts, creativity and education resource in the disused sun bathing building near The Spa Complex in Scarborough’s South Bay.
Stuart Cameron, Director of Crescent Arts introduced the proposals to an earlier meeting of the South Cliff Community Group, before launching some workshop presentations in July.
Below is the advertising literature for the presentations, and whilst the workshops have ended, the description of the project will give an idea of what is proposed.
A planning application is expected some time during 2019.
