Planning consent secured for Spirit of Sittingbourne
Development Securities has announced that planning permission has been secured for the first phase of a major town centre mixed-use regeneration scheme in Sittingbourne in Kent.
Phase one of the Spirit of Sittingbourne project will bring forward the development of six sites across Sittingbourne town centre to include a 7-screen cinema, 29,000 square feet of restaurant space and 34,000 square feet of big box retail.
Developed in public private partnership with a development consortium consisting of Swale Borough Council, Essential Land and Quinn Estates, the scheme is set create more than 700 jobs over the life of the project.
Richard Upton, executive director at Development Securities, said: “Spirit of Sittingbourne is an excellent example of our work in mixed-use regeneration in collaboration with local authorities and with this consent to hand we are a step closer to our ambition to be the public sector’s partner of choice for regeneration.”
