A planning application has been submitted for a mixed use
development to include a new neighbourhood retail parade in
Mansfield, in a bid to breathe fresh life into a derelict site.
The planning application, which has been submitted by
Nottingham-based developers Regent Street Developments, is due to
be considered by Mansfield District Council in October.
The site, which is located on Woodhouse Road at the junction of
Birding Street, was previously home to the Ma Hubbard's restaurant.
The plan for the site is to demolish the former restaurant and
create a new neighbourhood retail development which will include a
convenience store and two other retail units, occupiers for which
are yet to be confirmed. There will also be 18 customer car parking
spaces.
At the back of the retail parade there are plans to create 11
residential properties, which will be a mixture of town houses and
semi-detached houses.
Charles Trafford, of Trafford Oliver, is marketing the site on
behalf of Regent Street Developments. Charles said: "My clients
recognised that this site has great potential and a development of
this kind will really benefit the local community. It is really
positive news that developers are prepared to invest in both
commercial and residential developments in the area.
"The site and the now abandoned Ma Hubbard's restaurant are
derelict. There is a real opportunity to regenerate a site which
has come to the end of its previous economic life. Not only will
the retail units bring jobs to the area, but the development will
also provide much needed housing.
"We have already confirmed a national convenience retailer as a
tenant and I am confident that we won't have problems finding
others. The road is the main route linking Mansfield to Mansfield
Woodhouse, and the retail outlets will benefit from plenty of
passing traffic, as well as having the opportunity to serve the
substantial local population."
