Pilates studio planned
A planning application was filed this week to convert a former Poundstretcher in St Neots into a Pilates studio — a neat data point that reformer Pilates is expanding beyond big-city hubs. The proposal highlights growing demand for studio-style Pilates in urban fringe towns. (huntspost.co.uk)
The submission is recorded under reference 26/00503/FUL for Unit C, 3 Tebbutts Road, St Neots (PE19 1RJ) and was validated by the council in mid‑March 2026 (validated 18 March 2026). (stneots-tc.gov.uk) Drawings and the application description spell out swapping the positions of an existing window and door to create a new entrance, plus the installation of external signage as part of the works. (planning.org.uk) Local coverage of the submission was published this week after the documents were logged with Huntingdonshire District Council. (huntspost.co.uk) Unit C sits within the retail block at 3 Tebbutts Road, a mixed retail property described in marketing material as a mid‑1980s two‑storey retail unit with sub‑divisions. (brown-co.com) Commercial listings for the same address show available unit sizes from roughly 112 sq m (1,200 sq ft) up to about 487 sq m (5,250 sq ft), and a separate whole‑building listing at around 8,535 sq ft. (brown-co.com (rightmove.co.uk)) The application is currently logged as "in progress"; statutory consultation responses and the eventual determination will be published on Huntingdonshire District Council’s Public Access planning register.
