Land Securities has submitted a plans for the redevelopment of the Bishop Centre in Taplow, Buckinghamshire.
The proposals replace the existing 95,000 sq ft shopping centre with a new development measuring 131,500 sq ft.
Supermarket giant Tesco has already agreed to take 55,000 sq ft at the scheme. The remaining space will be divided up into approximately 10 to 12 smaller shops and leisure units.
LandSec portfolio director Nick Duffield said: “The Bishop Centre has suffered in recent years as its traditional anchor stores have closed and foot fall has fallen as a result. We have lost both Focus DIY and Habitat in recent times and the time is right to try and reposition the Bishop Centre to offer a more relevant retail offer that can help rejuvenate the centre and offer employment opportunities for the locality.”
