Planning officers say it is 'underused'
But images showing how the results of the project may look were aired publicly for the first time on Thursday at a city plans panel meeting at Civic Hall. Members of the panel broadly welcomed the development, with several suggesting it would revitalise the space.Councillor Peter Carlill said: “Overall I think it’s a really positive development to what is in effect a shopping centre that isn’t very well used, as far as I believe.
“It must be 10 or 15 years since that was the main shopping centre when you went in for HMV and all the other bits, but that’s all gone now. I think it’s a really good re-use of the space.” Councillors were split on provisional designs for the new building, which developers have suggested would be red brick. But panel chair Councillor Jim McKenna expressed dislike for the idea.
