Meadows Shopping Centre redevelopment

In summer 2025, the developer Dominus announced it would not proceed with planning application 24/01046/HYBRID. They will have no further involvement with the site.

They have formally withdrawn the planning application, so we will not make a decision on their redevelopment proposals.

What this means for the Meadows Shopping Centre

The Meadows Shopping Centre will stay open. The current owner plans to increase commercial lettings in the centre, and they are not seeking to redevelop the site in the near future.

The Meadows is a key part of the city centre, and the Local Plan Review  still intends to allocate the site for future redevelopment. This is to ensure the site is used efficiently and supports a vibrant city centre. We expect some or all of the site to be redeveloped during the plan period (up to 2041).

The planning process

The withdrawn application includes detailed proposals that a future developer may use in full or in part.

If a new application is submitted, we expect the developer to engage with the local community about their plans. This follows our Statement of Community Involvement.

You can still  view the withdrawn application, but there are no active processes and we are not accepting comments.
