Dixon Dawson Chartered Architects have received unanimous approval from Rotherham Council for their design to deliver a new £50 million retail, leisure and office scheme for Waverley in Rotherham, delivering over 190,000 sq. ft. of mixed use space and creating 700 new jobs.

This stunning design will bring new community facilities as well as restaurants and retail space to a thriving area.
The approved 190,000 sq. ft. development will feature:
- Healthcare and new community facilities, including a new bus station
- Up to 99,000 sq. ft. for a new foodstore and retail space
- High specification office space covering 38,000 sq. ft
