Response
- good access to the town centre and public
transport reduces the parking requirement.
- size and scale of surrounding development
(up to 6 storey office blocks) can be reflected
in new buildings on the site.
- light industry and office units are used as a
100m buffer zone to protect residential
development from the rail line and bus depot.
- perimeter blocks create continuous
frontages, a variety of public, semi-public and
private spaces and a permeable street
network.
- a formal square is created in the scheme,
and could include public art reminicient of the
cattle market.
