Outdoor gym approved at JP Morgan site
By Amy Woodward·Plans for new outdoor facilities at JP Morgan’s Bournemouth campus have been approved by planning officers.
The Chaseside campus will gain a formal terrace next to Littledown House, which is a Grade II-listed former farmhouse, with an outdoor gym planned near another campus building and table tennis added close to the existing tennis courts.
The upgrades form part of the firm’s plans to improve amenities at Chaseside, where staff and visitors already have access to sports facilities and walking tracks within the landscaped campus grounds.
The application says all three facilities will be reached by existing pedestrian routes, which will provide “step-free access throughout” and improve the facilities available to staff and visitors at the Bournemouth site.
The campus, which accommodates around 5,000 staff, includes office buildings, woodland, sports facilities, walking tracks and landscaped grounds, and the proposal was approved after no representations were submitted to the council for consideration.
