Understanding the
context and heritage
The site is at the heart of the city
It offers the most significant and timely opportunity for regeneration and investment in the city centre for decades.
A modern city centre
COVID-19 has demonstrated the strength and importance of our neighbourhoods and communities. It has sparked a change in people’s mindsets about how they want to use their town and city centres in a post-pandemic world.
We know that the current city centre is no longer in tune with modern consumer habits or the way in which people want to use cities. The dominance of retail has led to very few people living within the core of the city centre and it is difficult to navigate through as a pedestrian. Our proposals seek to remedy this.
The images below explain how the masterplan will improve pedestrian routes and create better links with the rest of the city centre.
