Newbury s Kennet Shopping centre could be transformed into a mix of homes, shops and restaurants under new plans submitted this week.
Lochailort Newbury Ltd has submitted two virtually identical planning applications to West Berkshire Council for a comprehensive redevelopment of the mall.
The plans will see the outdated centre transformed into a dynamic mixed-use high-quality, sustainable development featuring 402 new multi-family build-to-rent apartments and private sale homes.
The scheme will also deliver 30 flexible shops, restaurants and co-working spaces, with a focus on attracting local, independent and artisan businesses.
