Under landmark plans, the 1970s single-storey Nicholsons Centre will be torn down and replaced with a new mixed-use complex of 660-flats, offices and shops.
Buildings are set to reach up to 25 storeys in a scheme that is being hailed as one of the UK’s first shopping centre to town centre conversions.
Frederic Jariel, Co-Head of Real Estate at investor Tikehau Capital, said: “We are very pleased to see the transformational application for the Nicholson Quarter be approved last night and thank the officers and Councillors for their support.”
