Retail-led, mixed-use scheme in the Georgian style within Baths World Heritage and conservation area
The design for the five-hectare site creates an open scheme with streets and a major new square extending the urban grain of the city centre.
Shops, leisure facilities, housing and resturants developed around new pedestrian links will replace a single-storey shopping centre, bus station and car park.
The buildings are of a traditional design to compliment local architecture in an area with significant archaeological constraints.
