The Core Shopping Centre on the Headrow will be replaced with student flats and new retail units
Plans to demolish a shopping centre and build new retail units and student flats in its place have been given an early thumbs-up from city councillors.
Two new streets linking Lands Lane with King Charles Street would also be created. No planning application has been submitted yet and so no decision has been reached on whether or not the scheme will go ahead.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.
“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.” “You want this to be a prestigious and successful centre, as we all do round this table. But to emulate something like , in my book is not doing it justice. You can do a lot better than this.”
