The redevelopment of the St James's Area for a mixed use scheme including:

• employment 
• retail
• residential
• leisure and tourism

We have granted planning permission for:

• A mixed use development comprising of
  • 7,473 sq m of retail (A1) floorspace
  • 1,422 sq m of restaurant (A3) floorspace
  • 2,472 sq m of community (D1 for cinema) floorspace & loss of 8,000 sq m office (B1a) through the demolition of Burlington House.

• An erection of a 4 storey building for use as a hotel with separate restaurant/bar, providing 108 bedrooms and 827 sq m of restaurant (A3) floorspace.

Following a successful Compulsory Purchase Order earlier in the year we secured full ownership of the St James's site. Since then the development of the site has been progressing well with the demolition of the existing buildings being completed this year. Pre-construction work on the site is already underway with piling works for the foundations of the cinema and restaurant being undertaken.

Following a major financial investment in the St James's project this year it is hoped that this development will be complete by Autumn 2017 lending momentum to other regeneration plans for the waterfront area.
