This document builds on the vision and broad principles for the future regeneration of Eastside as an "Area of Transformation" - established in the Big City Plan - City Centre Masterplan and Draft Core Strategy.
We have taken a fresh look at promoting Eastside and bringing forward development opportunities in light of the proposed High Speed 2 line and station. We've done this by:
- Promoting the cultural and educational role of Eastside
- Establishing the urban design principles for the HS2 station building and key public spaces and routes
- Demonstrating how the new Eastside City Park complements the HS2 proposals and establishes longer term principles for its evolution
- Identifying new and improved connections through Eastside and into adjoining city quarters to promote wider regeneration
- Identifying changes and enhancements to transport networks to ensure accessibility into the quarter by all modes of travel to all destinations
- Retaining and enhancing the existing character and distinctiveness of the area, using the heritage assets of the quarter as an inspirational staring point
- Proposing a strategy for delivery
The masterplan is based on the creation of a “Sequence of Places” which will add a unique character to the area and deliver development opportunities to complete the regeneration of Eastside ensuring it continues to be a thriving part of the city centre.
We asked for your comments on this document in February / March 2012. We are now considering the comments received to help us decide which proposals to take forward.
