Developer Altered Space has submitted an initial detailed planning application to redevelop Cockhedge shopping centre in Warrington.
Its proposals for the site include downsizing the existing shopping centre by demolishing 16 retail units to create an ‘improved and rationalised commercial asset’, and creating new and improved external entrances to each end of the mall, plus four new external facing units and new public realm.
Michael Brown, director at Altered Space, said: “Following the approval we received for the Cockhedge Masterplan in August 2022, this detailed application seeks to deliver a downsized, yet enhanced commercial offering breathing new life into an already popular retail destination.
“Importantly the application will also unlock the residential development footprint fronting Scotland Road, capable of delivering 900 new homes for Warrington Town Centre.”
Altered Space is working with planning consultant Lichfields and Like Architects on the project.
