What is happening?
The proposals include the demolition of the Avon Street car park and coach park site which will be redeveloped into mixed use that will transform the site with new employment opportunities, new homes, a hotel and new amenities for the local community and visitors to the city.
The site will be developed in two distinct phases; the core of the Avon Street car park site being developed as Phase 1, and the coach park site being developed as Phase 2 (subject to
