St. Modwen’s £50m Hednesford Gateway development has been cleared after approval was secured for revisions to access routes into Hednesford Park.
The scheme comprises two sites: Phase One which lies primarily on Rugeley Road and Phase Two which is situated on Victoria Street, next to Hednesford Park and the railway line.
Construction is expected to start on Phase One of the scheme in April beginning with the construction of new purpose built premises for Hollywood Bingo Club and the Reserve Forces and Cadet’s Association (RFCA). Phase One will also include the creation of new retail opportunities facing Market Street and Rugeley Road.
Phase Two is the 3.7ha redevelopment of the Victoria Street area of the town, anchored by a new 80,000 sq ft elevated Tesco supermarket with undercroft parking.
St. Modwen development surveyor Mark Watkins said: “Since St. Modwen first entered into a development agreement with Cannock Chase Council, both parties have been working together to come up with a regeneration scheme that will successfully revitalise the town, creating a prosperous new future for Hednesford and establishing a high quality new ‘Gateway to the Chase’. We are delighted to now be able to progress this exciting scheme, creating a safe and welcoming retail and leisure environment within Hednesford that has been designed to foster a positive visitor experience for years to come.”
