Plans for a major mixed-use scheme at a Derby retail park have been given the green light.
The outline planning application, with all matters reserved, sought permission to demolish the existing retail units on the Bradshaw Way Retail Park site – currently occupied by Matalan, Home Bargains and a vacant unit – and erect a phased mixed-use development.
The residential-led scheme is to comprise up to 420 homes, up to 477 sq m GEA of commercial space, and up to 4,695 sq m GEA of office space, over five blocks. The highest point of the development could reach up to 19 stories.
The scheme would also include the development of ancillary and associated works including hard and soft landscaping, car parking, servicing and cycle parking.
Members of Derby City Council’s planning control committee supported the plans at a meeting on Thursday, with comments that the project would give Derby a “city skyline.”
