Plans have been unveiled for a new £50 million mixed-use development in Rotherham.
A joint venture (JV) between Dransfield Properties and Harworth Group is proposing to build a new 12-acre retail, office and leisure scheme as part of the 740-acre Waverley development in the town.
A planning application is scheduled to be submitted in Spring.
Features include:
• A 24,500 sq. ft. food store
• High quality office space
• Medical centre
• Transport hub
• A new hotel
• 70,000 sq ft. of further retail space
• A gym as well as restaurants and coffee shops
• 470 car parking spaces
The scheme will form the latest phase of Waverley's development, which has so far seen 600 homes built along with an Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP). A further 3,400 further homes will be built over the next 15 years, including a further one million sq ft of manufacturing space.
Overall, this new phase will link the AMP and residential area, featuring shops restaurants and cafes set around a central car park area. High quality office space will also be created above retail units, including attractive walkways, landscaped piazza areas with water features and a "town square” where regular Farmers' Markets can be held.
Mark Dransfield, Managing Director of Dransfield Properties, said: "This is a really exciting project to be involved with. We are delighted to work alongside Harworth, bringing our team's experience and knowledge of delivering retail developments to this new community.
