Plans for Forge Island, a new mixed-used development in Rotherham, have been approved by councillors<\/h2>\n

Forge Island will see the creation of a new cinema, hotel and restaurants in the heart of Rotherham.<\/p>\n

The new mixed-use development will also include a greater choice of food and drink outlets.<\/p>\n

Rotherham Council\u2019s<\/a> cabinet member for jobs and the local economy, councillor Denise Lelliott, said: “It’s fantastic to see the plans for Forge Island approved by the planning board which is particularly important as the town centre begins to find its feet again as lockdown eases a little.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know residents are keen to see the area develop and this is an important milestone towards delivering a scheme which is a catalyst for the wider regeneration<\/a> of the rest of the town centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of hard work has gone into putting these plans together and we\u2019re determined to see Rotherham Town Centre thrive, not just survive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Muse Developments will be working with the council<\/a> to help deliver Forge Island, which forms a key part of the Town Centre Masterplan.<\/p>\n

\u2018Place-changing regeneration\u2019<\/h3>\n

Dan Needham, development director at Muse Developments, commented: \u201cIt\u2019s testament to the hard work of all partners that we\u2019ve now received unanimous approval from the council to deliver Forge Island.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the next stage on our journey to deliver this truly special scheme, which will be completed safely and in line with government guidance.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Muse, we\u2019re working closely with our public-sector partners to support them in the delivery of place-changing regeneration schemes that will drive economic and social prosperity when it\u2019s needed most.<\/p>\n

\u201cForge Island represents what can be achieved when the best of the public and private sector come together with the same vision, drive and goal in mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eric Wright Civil Engineering Ltd has already started work on Phase One works on Forge Island, including flood defence and enabling work on the site which includes retaining walls, terrace seating and high-quality public spaces.<\/p>\n

The enabling works are necessary to deliver the full Forge Island scheme including a new pedestrian bridge connecting to the wider town centre.<\/p>\n
