Work has started on a multi-million pound designer outlet village, which has been dubbed the ‘best thing to happen in Cannock for decades’.


Workmen moved onto the site of the £160 million McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Village, formerly known as Mill Green, this week.

The 26,500 square metre retail park is expected to create more than 1,000 jobs, with 100 shops, including Ralph Lauren and Superdry, expected to open there by Spring 2020.

Phase one of the scheme will feature more than 80 shops, restaurants and cafes, a children’s play area and also 1,400 parking spaces.

This week workmen removed fences and cleared trees to make way for the development, which will be run by McArthurGlen and U+I.

Cannock Chase District Council leader George Adamson said: “It will put Cannock on the national and even international retail map.

“It will create hundreds of retail jobs and building jobs too while it is being developed.

“There could be disruption to traffic in the meantime – but it is the best thing that has happened to Cannock in decades.”


In August, a major international chain requested a larger unit so the local authority had to re-think the plans.

Following this, the scale of the scheme meant it was referred to the Secretary of State but she did not call it in.

A £400,000 cash injection from McArthurGlen will be ploughed into improving the town centre and expanding railway stations, as part of the huge project.

Cannock, Hednesford and Rugeley Town stations will be revamped at a cost of £90,000 – with platforms made bigger and fit for purpose.

Around £150,000 will go towards providing free wi-fi, improving the town’s market and festivals, as well as promotional events.

Around £65,000 has been earmarked for a Retail and Skills Academy and £370,300 will go to maintaining Mill Green Nature Park.

The outlet is expected to attract three million visitors every year.

McArthurGlen currently runs designer outlets across the UK, including in Ashford, Bridgend and York, as well as Cheshire Oaks

I suppose this is one way to absolutely kill off Cannock town center......Pretty much on its knees already isn't it?

I really don't know how I feel about this development. It will destroy Cannock town centre, which is already awful and will be built next door to a beautiful nature reserve. I used to run through the development area to the nature reserve. A real shame.

On the flip side I own a property nearby which i expect to significantly increase in value as a result of this development.

On the one hand, yay because of Wagamama.

On the other hand, boo because Mrs p will spend all our money at Le Creuset.

I dislike Cheshire Oaks so I’m not going to like the new place.
