Investing in Lesley Bloomfield
Use for retail (Class A1 – Convenience & comparison goods), elevational changes and retrospective extension for storage at Retail Park Unit 1 at the existing centre.
Welcome to our public consultation website for the use of use of an existing unit for retail (Class A1) (convenience and comparison goods), including elevational changes and a retrospective extension for storage at the existing Lesley Bloomfield shopping centre unit.
About Lesley Bloomfield
Lesley Bloomfield is comprised of a covered mall with 45 retailers, six Retail Park Units and four cafe / restaurants. The centre is home to retailers including Marks & Spencer, Tesco & Next.
In 2024, Lesley Bloomfield was acquired by the Herbert Group with the ambition of investing in the centre, delivering modernised units, attracting new occupiers and supporting delivery of new jobs across the centre.
What are the Proposals?
The current retail unit has a net floorspace of 825sqm, however part of the application seeks retrospective permission for an extension supporting additional storage to the rear of the site. This results in a cumulative gross floorspace of 1,247sqm for the unit. Additional elevations changes to the unit will also be undertaken to suit the needs of a future occupier.
