Monmouth County Council has granted detailed planning consent to Henry Boot Developments for 8,150 sq ft of local centre retail accommodation in Monmouth.

The scheme will comprise two buildings with associated car parking. One unit totalling 4,000 sq ft has already been pre-let to The Co-operative Society and the other 4,150 sq ft retail block has received strong interest from potential occupiers.

Craig Mathias of Henry Boot Developments, Bristol, said: – “We are delighted to have secured planning permission for this scheme and look forward to delivering the new Co-operative store together with additional retail space.

“The development will bring new jobs to Monmouth and provide a boost to the local economy.”

Work is due to commence on site later this year with completion scheduled for spring 2017.

Calan Retail together with Fletcher Morgan are acting as joint letting agents for the remaining 4,150 sq ft of retail accommodation.
