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

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.
