Plans submitted for new shops in Alconbury Weald’s The Glade
- 13.03.2025
Plans have been submitted for five new shops opposite the Co-op in The Glade, the local centre in Alconbury Weald’s first phase of development. The shops, located in a single storey building, will accommodate a range of uses, with the flexibility to combine into larger units depending on the requirements of future tenants.
With modern design and attractive glazed frontages, the shops will face onto the plaza opposite the Co-op. The plaza provides informal space for pop-up community events such as the food festival and the Christmas market.
The Glade is Alconbury Weald’s first local centre and is an important part of the existing community hub on the development’s main Boulevard: alongside The Gym, The Watch Office Bar & Kitchen, the community library, cricket pitch and Pavilion community centre.
We hope the new shops will attract a variety of local, independent retailers and service providers to complement the Co-op, and look forward to welcoming new tenants soon.
The new shops will be suitable for a range of operators such as a café/deli, pharmacy, vets, hairdresser/barber, estate agent or other retail uses. The units can be leased with options for fit out.
Plans for an interim health centre above Co-op continue to progress, with a change of use from offices to a health facility approved earlier this year. Discussions are also progressing for a new nursery, which will form the final building within The Glade.
Further shops and services will be coming forward in the central Hub area of the development in the next phase, while this area will continue to provide important shops and services for the homes and businesses in the development’s first phase.
Subject to planning consent, the new building will be completed, with units available to fit out by spring next year. Any interested parties should email Ben.Green@eddisons.com
