The Bolton Council in the UK has granted planning permission for the £250m redevelopment of Crompton Place Shopping Centre.

The town centre site will be transformed into a mixed-use scheme, which is located at the heart of Bolton Council’s £1.5bn town centre masterplan.

The Crompton Place Shopping Centre redevelopment is proposed by Bolton Regeneration, a partnership between Beijing Construction Engineering Group International (BCEGI) and Midia Group a regeneration specialist.

Designed by Chapman Taylor, the mixed-use scheme includes a 110-bedroom hotel, 150 homes, 10,500m² of office space, and a mixed-use retail, leisure, dining and events space to accommodate independent retailers and food operators as well as incubator space for small business start-ups.

Bolton Council deputy leader Martyn Cox said: “This is a major milestone for Crompton Place, which is a fundamental part of our £1.5bn town centre masterplan.

“These plans will create a destination which combine town centre living, retail and leisure in a top quality environment. It means new homes, new jobs, and new businesses coming to Bolton.

The project will feature soft landscaping, green roof terraces and rainwater collection in addition to a centralised energy centre, natural ventilation and solar collection.

Construction on the mixed-use scheme is scheduled to commence in 2021.

Bolton Regeneration director Steven Turner said: “We believe this development will significantly improve the town centre offer, broaden its appeal, complement existing attractions, and enhance the surrounding historic fabric.”
