[1] Plans to realise a large-scale 'wellbeing resort' in TraffordCity were first announced in July 2019, with developers Therme Group inviting local residents to attend a consultation in the summer.

The updated plans include waved glass domed pavilions, external water slides, a roof terrace, multi-storey car park, and landscaped boulevard.

[7] Plans to demolish the EventCity site were submitted in September 2022, with the works initially expected to be completed in Spring 2023, ahead of the main construction.

Over 25 pools, 35 waterslides and 30 saunas and steam rooms will make up what Therme Group dub an 'urban oasis' - along with the UK's first indoor all-season beach, with lapping waves.
