Developer Stanhope has won full planning permission for an £80m retail and leisure scheme in Hereford, UK.

The 310,000ft2 Old Market development will include a department store, along with a six-screen multiplex cinema, a Waitrose supermarket and 25 additional retailers and restaurants.

Architects Allies & Morrison and Leslie Jones have designed the plan; the primary building materials used for the development will be Hereford brick, render and timber.

The company is planning to begin construction work in spring 2012 with initial demolition works to start in January.
