Plans revealed for new £13m Blue Diamond garden centre

Plans to build a new Blue Diamond garden centre, which could create more than 150 jobs, have been revealed. It would be built on land east of the A1 near Alnwick, Northumberland.

Development and investment company Northumberland Estates has submitted a pre-planning submission to Northumberland County Council.

Northumberland Estates, owned by theDuke of Northumberland, and Blue Diamond have developed a website for consultation to obtain residents’ opinions on the planned proposal. The website www.newgardencentrealnwick.co.uk will run from for three weeks from July 27 to August 17.

The store is expected to attract a significant footfall, create over 150 new full and part-time jobs and represents an investment of around £13m from Northumberland Estates.
