NOMS proposes to construct new prison accommodation on the playing fields to the rear of the existing Rochester YOI subject to planning permission.

The proposed new facilities will include an outside all-weather football pitch, a gymnasium and classrooms dedicated to the theory of physical education, all of which will provide enhanced opportunities for physical education.
