Planning permission has been granted for a £65 million mixed-use development in West Sussex.
Proposals submitted by NewRiver Retail (NRR) include building over 200,000 sq ft of retail and leisure facilities at the Martlets Shopping Centre in Burgess Hill.
Features include building a ten-screen multiplex cinema, a 63-bed Travelodge hotel, five restaurants, 142 residential units, a purpose-built library, a gym and over 500 car-parking spaces.
In addition, 70,000 sq ft of retail space will also be developed.
Allan Lockhart, Property Director at NewRiver, said: "We are delighted to have received unanimous support from Mid Sussex's Planning Committee to grant planning permission, marking a major milestone in our £65 million development plans for Burgess Hill which will serve as a catalyst for economic and social regeneration in the area.
"Our proposed plans include pre-lets with some of Europe's best in class retail and leisure operators, and in collaboration with Mid-Sussex District Council, will create a dynamic mixed-use town centre in West Sussex that is fit for purpose for the 21st century. This major development will be delivered in line with NewRiver's risk-controlled development strategy and is expected to generate attractive returns for our investors and a revitalised town centre for Burgess Hill."
