The preparations for the new Bicester-style designer shopping village in the Midlands has begun.<\/p>\n
The \u00a3160 million McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Village, formerly known as Mill Green is planning for a grand opening for 2020, when more than 80 stores will launch together with restaurants and cafes, a children\u2019s play area and 1,400 parking spaces and views over Mill Green Nature Reserve.<\/p>\n
New images that\u2019s have been released which gives more of an idea of what the Cannock outlet village will really look like.<\/p>\n
The entrance will feature a clock tower and blue canopies over the shops.<\/p>\n
It has a regency style feel to it, similar to the entrance to a historic manor house or heritage train station.<\/p>\n
A grand white archway will form the entrance into the village.<\/p>\n
Shops with blue canopy frontages will also line the entrance, which comes straight from the car park.<\/p>\n
Architects are said to be taking inspiration from the surrounding area to create a \u201cretail destination with a distinctive identity\u201d.<\/p>\n
The village will cover 26,500 square metres and be home to 130 discount designer shops, together with restaurants, cafes and a children\u2019s play area.<\/p>\n
The area is now being prepared for the development, which will be run by McArthurGlen and U+I.<\/p>\n
It will be the seventh McArthurGlen outlet in the UK \u2013 and it\u2019s around a 30 minute drive from Birmingham.<\/p>\n
Developers say the Cannock village will be more like outlet villages seen in Europe rather than the UK.<\/p>\n
