Bath Row & Holloway Head Development Framework - Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG)
With new development activity on its doorstep, the area is being reconnected with the city core, and there have already been significant mixed-use developments approved on Commercial Street which will capitalise on the success of Mailbox.
The key objectives of the document are to:
- transform Bath Row and Holloway Head into a major city centre boulevard
- build on the potential of St. Thomas Peace Gardens as a new city centre square
- strengthen pedestrian links between Attwood Green / Broad Street / Five Ways and the City Core
- promote mixed-use developments to expand city centre commercial uses and a variety of residential uses to link into Attwood Green
- promote and support employment uses in the area
- create high quality design in new developments, which builds on local character and transforms the area into a distinct city centre location
- guide re-use and refurbishment of the collection of listed buildings on Severn Street and Blucher Street
- guide improvement and part development of Holloway Head playing fields and related uses affecting Lytham Croft and Irving Street area.
The Framework was adopted in August 2004 as Supplementary Planning Guidance and will be used for the determination of future planning applications in the area.
