Citygrove has submitted plans to Rushmoor Borough Council (RBC) for the development of a new £65m cinema and restaurant complex in the heart of Aldershot, Hampshire.

The London-based group - the council's development partner - is planning to build a new seven-screen Cineworld cinema, a range of restaurants and a 91-bedroom hotel as part of the WestGate scheme. A full retail impact and capacity survey has also been submitted along with the application to highlight the effect the proposed development is likely to have on town centre businesses.

RBC has also written to 3,500 homes and businesses, as well as to those who commented on a previous planning application, to gather comments on the WestGate proposals. Peter Moyle, leader of the council, said: "This is another milestone for the redevelopment of Aldershot. We know that there has been a lot of interest in this application and we hope local residents and businesses will take the opportunity to have their say on the proposals."
