Leisure development set to create 200 jobs

A £6m leisure development at Lakeside in Doncaster has been given the green light to create around 200 jobs.

The council-led Lakeside Triangle scheme will see five restaurants and three drive through units built, ranging from 1,800 to 3,650 sq ft.

Three units are already under offer by Burger King, Dunkin’ Donuts and Taco Bell.

Peter Dale, the Council’s Director of Regeneration and Environment, said: “Securing planning approval is a major milestone for this innovative council initiative. Doncaster Lakeside is one of the most attractive leisure, business and residential destinations in the north and it comes as no surprise that there has been strong interest from occupiers for units at Lakeside Triangle. Anyone interested should contact our agents Pudney Shuttleworth in the first instance.”

“Doncaster is quickly establishing itself as a development hotspot and the council’s proactive approach to supporting and aiding major projects is seen as a big attraction for investors and developers.”

The site is located next to the Dome leisure facility, an 11 screen Vue cinema complex.

The units are expected to be available from spring 2018.
