LATEST PROPOSALS At a meeting of the Bedford Borough Council Planning Committee in October 2007 the Committee unanimously granted consent for our proposals. The scheme includes the construction of 6,000 sq ft of new retail units, a 17,000 sq ft foodstore, a 9,000 sq ft community centre, a 5,000 sq ft medical centre and 71 new residential units.
Timing Work has now commenced on Phase One which will include the new Aldi foodstore and car park. This Phase is due to complete in late March 2010. The enabling works, which involved the demolition of the vacant supermarket and Century Pub, together with the refurbishment of the existing retail parade, has now been completed. The highway works, which include two new pedestrian crossings into the Centre have also been completed.
"We believe Coplan Estates will deliver the vision for the area and provide the local Church Lane community with the environment and range of services they deserve." Trevor Roff, Bedford Borough Council's Head of Economic Development and Regeneration "We are delighted to have secured this opportunity, and look forward to working with Bedford Borough Council to deliver the scheme over the next few years."
