A planning application has been submitted for the highly-anticipated Pioneer Place leisure and retail development in Burnley. The 28,500 sq ft scheme, to be built by Maple Grove Developments is being funded by Burnley Borough Council with support from LCC.
Designed by AEW Architects, Pioneer Place will be anchored by an eight-screen Reel Cinema which will relocate from its existing site in Manchester Road. In addition to the cinema, the Curzon Street scheme will include restaurants, bars, shops, a public plaza and a 125 space car park.
Speaking about the announcement, Nik Puttnam, senior development manager at Maple Grove Developments said: “This planning application marks another significant milestone in the project and the ongoing regeneration of Burnley town centre.
The 28,500 sq ft scheme, to be built by Maple Grove Developments is being funded by Burnley Borough Council with support from Lancashire County Council.
“With the development agreement signed and Reel Cinema committed to the scheme, we are now in a position to move forward with planning and marketing the site. The aim is to start construction on the Curzon Street site in late 2020 with the cinema being open for business in early Summer 2022.”
