Planning application submitted for Coventry City Centre South urban regeneration masterplan

Shearer Property Regen Ltd. and Chapman Taylor, in conjunction with fellow consultants listed below*, have submitted a planning application for our transformative urban regeneration masterplan for Coventry city centre.

City Centre South Coventry 2020 05 26 Ccs V08 L

"City Centre South" will upgrade several areas of the historic heart of Coventry, including Bull Yard, Shelton Square, City Arcade and Hertford Street, and will make the city a significant shopping and leisure destination in the West Midlands.

Our proposal brings about a step-change by creating a strong sense of place with which the people of Coventry will bond. Among its provisions, the greatly improved urban environment will include new public spaces, up to 50 new retail units, F&B and leisure and community uses to activate the street level. A curated pavilion building will stand in the heart of a new plaza, which will be fronted by the city’s listed and much-loved indoor market. A new hotel, medical centre, cinema and residential at the upper levels will complete a rounded offer.

The architecture takes proportional material reference from the city’s past, while the development’s scale will not overly dominate, thus ensuring that the environment is authentic to the city. The design is a great example of the much-needed change that can be achieved when developers, architects and stakeholders work collaboratively with the local council.

The aim, should planning permission be granted, is to have the development open for business by 2026. Chapman Taylor designed the masterplan and is providing the architectural services for this urban regeneration project on behalf of Shearer Property Regen Ltd.
