Hepworth Retail & Leisure Park
Permission granted in August 2008 to develop the former Hepworth pipeworks to the West of Coppice Side.– 70,000 sq ft Open A1 Retail Warehousing– 5 Screen Cinema– 12,000 sq ft of A3 Restaurant/Food The Cinema has been let to Curzon and terms have been agreed with a number of retailers including Peacocks, Argos and Home Bargains. Two 7,500 sq ft retail units remain available as at August 2010.This is a challenging project for Rokeby, seeking to integrate modern retail warehousing into a setting which is sympathetic to the adjacent conservation area and a new 74,000 sq ft Wm Morrisons foodstore. A particular challenge has been a desire to link the development with the adjacent foodstore and new links to the High Street, to maximise the regenerative benefits between existing and new accommodation.
