18/03/2009
Tesco plans to redevelop and expand its store in Hackney Central and make changes to the surrounding area.
A planning application and conservation area consent have been submitted for the Tesco site in Morning Lane, which would see construction of three, nine and 13 storey buildings, providing 11,125 sq metres of retail space for a new store in the three storey building. There will be space for eight other new shops, offices, restaurants and bars.
Further proposals include building 134 new homes, 414 car parking spaces, 252 cycle spaces and new and improved pedestrian routes to and within the Tesco site including the landscaping and pavement widening in Morning Lane.
