The current site owner has paused the current redevelopment proposal, following the exit of developer Dominus.

Paused planning application

The planning application was to redevelop the Meadows Shopping Centre and some of the surrounding land and buildings. This included the redevelopment of buildings fronting onto the High Street and Springfield Road. 

The development also proposed redevelopment of the council-operated surface car park to the south-east of the shopping centre and some modifications to the Q Park multi storey on Baddow Road.  The proposals did not seek the removal of High Bridge Road or Cater House.

The development was proposed to consist of demolition of existing buildings and structures for the phased construction of:

  • new retail, commercial and community space
  • public realm
  • mobility hub
  • 537 homes in full application and around 225 homes in the outline application

The planning process

There are no active processes at this time. We may withdraw the application without further notice after a period of inactivity.

You can still  view the application, but you should not submit comments, as  we are not reviewing them.
