POZZONI Architects’ Manchester office has gained planning consent to start work on the final phase of the mixed-use scheme at Halton Lea Shopping Centre, Runcorn. 

A Halfords Autocentre and a drive-through Burger King will conclude the development which already has a completed Ford Dealership and Lidl, which is under construction.

Jamie Wood, director at Pozzoni said: “This final phase completes the redevelopment of the area and with tenants already in place ensures this previously derelict area has been given a new lease of life.”

Developer Opus Land North is due to start work early next year with completion expected in the summer.

HYDE-based property consultancy Millson Associates has completed a project on behalf of chocolate retailer Cocoba, designing its new shop at the Bluewater Shopping Centre in Kent.

Millson, which has operated from its Tameside base since 1980, launched  aLondon office this year.

Clare Wood was put in place to oversee the operation and undertake design and project management for clients including Punch Taverns.

She said: “I am proud of this project which is a testament to the kind of fit-out work we undertake throughout the UK. We took design inspiration from the brand’s established packaging, tuning the interior with the striking palette of colours already created.

“The main objective of the design was to form a division of space within one long linear unit and create separate retail and eatery areas.  We contrasted an industrial feel with a contemporary design to create an upbeat, welcoming and relaxing vibe. To further reinforce the client’s brand we created a neutral background with playful wall graphics and introduced statement furniture.”
