Plans have been submitted for a multi-million pound college extension.

East Kent Colleges Group (EKC) unveiled draft plans for the Sheppey College last month.

It is one of three projects making up a £20 million scheme to help revive a seaside town.

The Sheerness Revival project, for the Isle of Sheppey, has been put together by Swale council after successfully bidding for funding from the government’s Levelling Up Fund.

Ideas for EKC Sheppey College’s extension were put on display at the start of February so feedback could be collected before final plans were submitted.

If approved, it will provide more places for students at the Bridge Road facility and an expanded curriculum to give opportunities to for careers in key industries.

The new education wing would provide training and vocational study opportunities.

The newly-developed curriculum will focus on 16 to 19-year-olds and will offer creative, engineering and logistics courses.

This extension is just one of a handful of other schemes that make up Sheerness Revival Project.

The planning application has now been submitted to the council’s planning team for consideration.

New and improved leisure and health facilities are being created at Beachfields, including soft play, adventure golf, TAG active, a new café and outdoor gym, while refurbishments have been made at Masters House to provide space and support for young people to start their own businesses.

Cllr Monique Bonney, chair of the regeneration and property committee, said: “The Sheerness Revival project aims to improve important social infrastructure to create better opportunities for people in Sheerness and further afield.

“This application is an exciting next step for the project and we are grateful to everyone who provided feedback at the consultation.

“As with all planning applications it now needs to be assessed on its own merits to make sure the plans are suitable.

“If it is approved, this could go a long way towards improving educational outcomes for local young people, which is exactly the kind of legacy we want for Sheerness Revival.”
