A Nottinghamshire shopping centre at 'end of its natural life' is set to become a new Lidl and takeaway. The Rosemary Centre on Walkden Street, Mansfield, would be demolished and replaced with a Lidl and a food and drink takeaway, if Mansfield District Council's planning committee follows a recommendation to approve the scheme on April 24.
The town’s Argos store was once based in the former mill building, but most of the upper floors are now vacant. Iceland and Domino’s Pizza still trade from premises on the ground floor, but developer Peveril Securities previously said the shopping arcade had "reached the end of its natural life" after 70 years.
As well as the Lidl and takeaway, there would also be another retail unit and 150 car parking spaces. Despite being recommended for approval, the plan has raised concerns from the council's conservation officer and Nottingham Police.
