A planning application has been submitted for a £200million regeneration plan, which could create thousands of jobs.
The proposed development at Armadale in West Lothian is focused around the new railway station, serving the Bathgate to Airdrie rail link, which is due to become operational in December 2010.
Developers SDA have have put forward proposals for the first phase of the Core Development Area (CDA) project.
A £25m, 40,000 square feet supermarket with parking spaces for 600 cars, which will deliver 300 jobs. The development will also include around 200 parking spaces to service the park-and-ride facility at the railway station.
There will also be new shop and office space, a hotel and multiplex cinema, a primary school and around 1,000 houses and flats. There will also be sports pitches and a community park on the brownfield site.
Developers believe the scheme could attract around 6,500 jobs to the area.
The proposed supermarket will be built adjacent to the railway station on land specifically designated for retail development and will capitalise on the road infrastructure currently under construction to facilitate access to the new bus-rail interchange scheme.
Sandra Carter, of SDA, said: "Having worked with the development team on this project for several years it is great to finally see things happening both on site and in the form of planning applications. Our vision is to create a sustainable community of shops, a school, parks, businesses and new homes that will stimulate economic growth and benefit this area of West Lothian.
"We believe that the concentration of community, business, employment and retail activity in the new Armadale Station Local Centre will reinforce the long term viability of both the new local centre and existing town centre and will maximise the potential for sustainable economic growth and regeneration for the town as a whole."
