The company behind the £300m scheme to transform the former Boots Island site in Nottingham could be granted the green light for a new retail development in Leicestershire after the plans were recommended for approval.
Conygar Investment Company, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange, is seeking permission for a 20,000 sq ft B&M store in Ashby de la Zouch from North West Leicestershire District Council.
The business is behind the bid to construct almost 1,000 homes, office space, retail units, a five-star hotel and hundreds of student flats in Nottingham which was revealed in July.
