Artist's impression of the proposed new-look Freshney Place shopping and leisure area
THE proposal to revamp the western side of Freshney Place Shopping Centre is expected to clear a significant first hurdle on Wednesday morning.
At a meeting of North East Lincolnshire Council's planning committee, councillors will be recommended to approve:
* A new entrance
* Redesigned retail space
* New commercial units
* A five-screen cinema
* A leisure building
* A new market hall
* A market square
Improvements are also being sought for the public realm, highway and parking areas so as to incorporate some green landscaping.
The application also shows provision for outdoor seating.
Says a report to the committee: "Two new commercial units are proposed alongside Devonshire House.
"The leisure unit would follow as the building extends northwards leading to the cinema complex and concession foyer.
"The new entrance to Freshney Place would sit next to the new cinema entrance which will be accessible independently or through the shopping centre.
"Moving eastwards and extending southwards is the proposed market square and new market which would sit next to the former House of Fraser building.
"The proposals would extend between two and three storeys, utilising a range of roofs, fenestration and material finishes. "
