“Willmott Dixon will now be working with the council and partners to support design development in preparation for the submission of a planning application in spring next year as well as supporting the council to preparing business cases, which is the next stage in securing the Towns Investment Funding.”

Last year, Willmott Dixon delivered the £20m regeneration of Rochdale Riverside, which created approximately 200,000ft2 of retail and leisure space.

The company also handed over the Llys Cadwyn development in Pontypridd to Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council.

The development was a business and leisure scheme that replaced a derelict 1960’s shopping centre.
