Plans have been revealed for a new boxing gym at an industrial estate, despite works being completed
Owers of The Venue boxing gym, at Unit 57, Globe Industrial Estate, Towers Road, Grays converted it into the boxing gym.
The application states the owners were unaware of the need for change of use.
It states: "When the work was carried out for the use of the gym, we were under the impression of the D2 usage covered the gym as leisure we were not aware of the
‘only Pilates’ factor.
"The ground floor is currently used as a boxing based gym."
Work began on the site in September of last year to convert the former pilates studio into the boxing gym.
Thurrock Council is expected to decide on the plans by Friday May 31.
