Major new development approved in Epworth

Plans have been approved for a major new development in Epworth including a new GP surgery, a new Holmes and Garden Centre and foodstore.

The proposed development, on Belton Road in the town by Millea Land, will take place on predominantly brownfield land.

The proposals will offer an economic boost and create around 100 new jobs for local people.

During previous consultation on the plans, the community had been very positive about new medical facilities and potential for more shopping choice and new jobs.

During the planning process, the plans have been amended through positive discussions with Epworth Town Council and Council’s Highway Officers. These changes have included a new controlled crossing on Belton road and improvements to the public right of way linking the site with the town centre, including a safe pedestrian route.

Jonathan Millea of Millea Land said: “Gaining approval for this major development in Epworth is the culmination of over four years of hard work and listening to the community.

“We are very excited to deliver the development, and we will look to get onsite as soon as possible. These plans will bring many huge benefits to the town and area, including new jobs, better medical facilities and better shopping choice.”
