Plans for food retail space and restaurant pods at Riverside Retail Park, Nottingham, have been submitted to the city council.
Proposals, prepared by Firstplan on behalf of The Trustees of the Blackrock UK Property Fund, are seeking permission for a ‘floating consent’ to use up to 2,000 sq m across Units A to D at the site for food retail use.
Full planning permission meanwhile is sought for two restaurant pods with drive-thru facilities within the car parking area of Riverside Retail Park.
These will be operated by Starbucks and Popeyes and could provide 60 jobs.
Riverside Retail Park has traded as part of Nottingham’s retail offer for approximately 30 years. The development is anchored by a large B&Q Warehouse store, with other retailers currently trading at the site including Boots, Next, Poundland, Food Warehouse and Home Bargains.
