Film studio included in £400m plans for Doncaster Waterfront
City of Doncaster Council has been revealing its proposals for the regeneration of the site.
Doncaster Council has been setting out its latest plans for the £400m redevelopment of the city's Waterfront.
Work is currently ongoing to make the large the brownfield site, which was formerly a gas works and a farm, suitable for large scale construction.
The plans include the possibility of a 'digital arena', a film studio, a hotel, around 300 apartments and a multi-storey car park.
The proposals are part of Doncaster's City Centre Strategy - a 25 year plan for improving the area.
Mayor of Doncaster, Ros Jones, said: “The Waterfront area represents a major development opportunity for the City of Doncaster.
"Doncaster Waterfront is one of the largest brownfield sites in the country with incredible potential for development.
"Remediation works are well underway and will set the groundwork for these future plans and unlock the incredible opportunities of this area, near to our beloved Minster and Doncaster Markets.
“The plans tie in with our aspirations for Doncaster to become a hub for digital technology, to attract investment, jobs and growth for the whole of Doncaster.
"Our aim is to link up the Waterfront with the ‘beating heart’ of our city centre linking city centre living, business, retail, culture and leisure activity together to provide a much more connected city centre, further enhancing the vibrancy of this area.”
