The £300m development of a new quarter in Chester city centre has been given the go-ahead.
The Chester Northgate development, designed by ACME for Cheshire West and Chester Council, will provide a new shopping, leisure and residential development in the city centre.
Plans included 500,000 sq ft of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities that will be built over two main phases, the first of which will start onsite in 2017.
David Lewis, chief executive of Rivington Land, the council’s retained development manager, said: “In combination with the level of occupier demand we are witnessing and the recent exchange of contracts with Picturehouse, this consent represents real progress and a major corner piece of the overall jigsaw.”
