Filey Sea Cadets secure council approval for new two-storey headquarters
Overview
North Yorkshire Council has approved revised plans for a new two-storey building for the Filey Sea Cadets, replacing the existing 1920s Southdene Pavilion. The previous proposal was rejected in 2024 due to design and parking concerns, but the new design features arts and crafts and Edwardian architectural styles, incorporates sustainable technologies like solar panels and an air source heat pump, and provides enhanced facilities for both cadets and the wider community.
