PLANS for a new multi-million pound rehab facility on the site of a former private school in Boscombe have been submitted. Having bought St Thomas Garnet’s School last year, AECC University College has applied for permission to replace its sports hall with the new centre. Professor Lesley Haig, its vice-chancellor, said the multi-disciplinary facility would be “state-of-the-art” and boost healthcare provision in the county. The university submitted its planning application to BCP Council at the end of last month, proposing its new “integrated rehabilitation centre” replace the existing sports hall. It bought St Thomas Garnet’s School in Parkwood Road after the private school closed last year and has since moved some of its teaching and services to the new site.
