Detailed proposals provided by GVATRANSCRIPT
CHURCH STREET
The Church Street area is the focus for the creation of an Innovation and Skills Quarter. The proposals will redefine the area with additional day time uses, an improved environment and a vibrant cluster of creative industry businesses.
The new Campus for CCAD on the Council’s Lynn Street Depot is a key project. This will provide modern accommodation for the College and increase footfall on Church Street. The Depot will allow the College to expand and to provide additional student accommodation as its student numbers increase in future.
A number of options to improve the appearance, vitality and ‘performance’ of Church Street have been considered, ranging from full pedestrianisation to schemes that maintain traffic but reduce the dominance of the car. The preferred option is to narrow the vehicle carriageway to provide a widened footpath on the north side of the street. Shops, cafés, and bars can then spill out onto the pavement creating an active street throughout the day.
Improvements to the historic buildings on Church Street will be encouraged to complement public realm improvements to help attract new occupiers and uses to the area.
