Meadowhall can now go ahead with an indoor recreation and leisure centre, shops, food and drink units, a cinema, police station and car showroom
Jamie Whitfield, a director of retail investment firm NewRiver, which co-owns The Moor, described Meadowhall as “dominant in the region”, saying that shops that operate in the city centre and Meadowhall have sales volumes that are five times higher in the centre. In Manchester, city centre sales volumes are on a par with the Trafford Centre, he said.
“However, Meadowhall is over 30 years old and is dominated by retail units. The centre needs investment, it needs to evolve and it needs to attract more leisure and food and beverage operators in order to widen the offer available and bring the centre up to modern standards.”He said restrictions on the plans would mean that Meadowhall would complement rather than compete with the city centre and other centres.
Coun Brian Holmshaw, who voted against, said there were too many uncertainties in the report about the potential effect on other centres. He also questioned whether British Land could achieve its aim of completing the scheme with net zero carbon emissions.
