Now, the Council’s development partner Genr8 Kajima Regeneration Limited (GKRL) is preparing to submit a planning application for the development of a mixed-use development comprising of new homes, commercial space (which will include the Council’s HQ), a hotel and public realm. In addition, the plans include proposals to change a unit on Cavendish Walk (the former B&M building) from retail use to a new library and community hub and also to transform the multi-storey car park into a modern and sustainable transport hub. As part of the planning process, and before a formal planning application is submitted, an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Screening Report has been developed which can be viewed on the Council's website. https://orlo.uk/9NqZR
