McDonald’s in frame for move to Oswestry
Thursday 12th January 2012, 10:59AM GMT.
McDonald’s and Frankie and Benny’s have been lined up to come to Oswestry as part of the £56 million redevelopment of the town’s Smithfield livestock site, a planning appeal has heard.
And developers will decide within a matter of weeks which retail giant has been successful in a bid to operate a new multi-million supermarket which has been earmarked for the Shrewsbury Road site.
The announcement was made at a planning appeal hearing yesterday in Oswestry into whether Shropshire Council was right to reject a bid by JT Hughes and Guttercrest to build a food only supermarket in Victoria Road in favour of plans for the livestock site.
Councillors rejected the bid in 2010 and chose developer Liberty Mercian’s plan to build a supermarket, cinema, restaurants and offices at the Smithfield site.
Roger Birtles, a planning consultant representing Liberty Mercian, said progress was being made on the Smithfield site. He said McDonald’s and
Frankie and Benny’s had both agreed to take units and talks ongoing with supermarkets.
The appeal is expected to conclude today and a decision will follow shortly.
