Maple Grove Developments<\/a> has received the go-ahead for the new AEW-designed \u00a318m Pioneer Place leisure and retail scheme in Burnley, Greater Manchester<\/h2>\n

Maple Grove Developments, part of the Eric Wright Group<\/a>, has secured planning for the 36,477 sq ft leisure-led Pioneer Place in Burnley.<\/p>\n

Funded by Burnley Borough Council<\/a> with support from Lancashire County Council<\/a>, the scheme will include an eight-screen Reel Cinema, as well as restaurants, bars, retail units, a public realm and a 125-space car park.<\/p>\n

Nik Puttnam, senior development manager at Maple Grove Developments, said: \u201cThis is a huge coup for Burnley<\/a>; the town has been yearning for a strong leisure offer to attract more visitors from a wider area and increase dwell time and spend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are talking to a number of national and regional leisure operators. Our next step is to appoint a contractor for the scheme with a scheduled start on site date of early 2021 and an estimated opening of Pioneer Place in November 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are continuing to progress a separate planning application<\/a> for the Manchester Road site, where Reel Cinema was previously located. Construction is due to begin here in February 2023 with the opening of the food retail element planned for the following November.\u201d<\/p>\n

Positive impact in Burnley<\/h3>\n

Burnley Council leader, Charlie Briggs, added: “This is great news and a major step forward in this exciting leisure development. It will draw in visitors from a wide area which, in turn, will boost existing local businesses and have a positive impact on the local economy as a whole. Not only does it attract visitors but how great it will be for residents of all ages.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that this scheme very much complements the town\u2019s existing offer and are pleased that consent has been achieved.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Reel Cinema already committed to the scheme and planning now secured, we are confident Pioneer Place will attract further leisure and retail operators to the development. It’s also great news for the growing university student population in Burnley with the expansion of UCLan in the town.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith & Love Planning Consultants advised Maple Grove on the Pioneer Place planning application.<\/p>\n
