One of the country’s largest shopping centre owners, intu, has revealed details of plans for a large scale redevelopment of its Broadmarsh complex in Nottingham following a lengthy public consultation.

The consultation found that consumers are seeking a greater mix of leisure facilities in the centre along with greater accessibility and more focus upon luxury retailing. As a result, should planning permission be granted, intu will add a multi-screen cinema, a food court with a variety of “grab and go” eateries and restaurants and a new open street at the centre’s Bridlesmith Gate which will provide units for retailers at the top end of the market.

In addition, modernisation works will take place throughout the centre as a means of creating more spacious and brighter units for both new and existing retail tenants. Accessibility will be improved by creating a new route through the centre which will provide a direct path from the train station to the rest of Nottingham city centre.

Regional director of intu, Martin Breeden said: “We are really pleased to unveil our proposals for the redevelopment of intu Broadmarsh.

“We know there is demand from tenants for new spaces in Nottingham and we are already having discussions with some key brands.

“intu is committed to the city of Nottingham and we have been working closely with Nottingham City Council to ensure that our proposals for intu Broadmarsh complement the City Council’s vision for the city and in particular their plans for the southern part of Nottingham.”

The public consultation into the redevelopment has been running since May of last year and attracted feedback from more than 1,000 customers of the centre. In total, the works are expected to cost around £150 million to complete and have the potential to create hundreds of new jobs.

intu will submit an official planning application to the council in spring, after three days of a further public consultation allowing customers to add their suggestions to the current plans. Should approval be granted, work will begin in 2016 and the new-look complex will hopefully be completed at some point in 2018.

Centre general manager Adam Tamsett believes customers will respond to the plans enthusiastically.

He says; “We want to completely change Broadmarsh from a daytime shopping venue to a place where you could spend the evening after shopping.

“We want to create a destination where people want to spend longer.

“It’s a real catalyst for growth on the south side of the city and we’re also working closely with the City Council to improve the Southern Gateway.”
