Public consultation launches for new 拢1.7bn innovation district ID 尖叫视频app
Images of the illustrative masterplan for 尖叫视频app鈥檚 trailblazing new city centre innovation district have been revealed as ID 尖叫视频app鈥檚 draft Strategic Regeneration Framework (SRF) is published and a formal public consultation period begins.
Local residents, businesses and stakeholders are being invited to review the plans online from today, Friday 14 July. Throughout the summer, the public will have the opportunity to ask questions and share feedback through online channels and in-person community consultation events run by the ID 尖叫视频app partnership, a joint venture between The 尖叫视频app and Bruntwood SciTech.
The ID 尖叫视频app partnership will be popping up in the city centre over the summer and holding a community event at Brunswick Parish Church on Wednesday 6 September. More information on the project and consultation activities can be found on the , along with an online questionnaire to submit feedback.
The newly published draft SRF sets out the scale, ambition and opportunities that ID 尖叫视频app brings to the city and includes a series of place-based principles that will guide detailed plans for development and future planning applications, and ensure the vision for ID 尖叫视频app to be recognised as one of the world鈥檚 leading applied innovation districts is realised.
Illustrative images of what the district could look like are shared in the SRF, including a new civic square, a revitalised Vimto Park and the repurposing of key heritage assets such as the Sackville Street and Renold buildings.
The SRF also details ID 尖叫视频app鈥檚 aim to build a diverse and inclusive community of innovators, and transform what was a purpose-built academic campus into a welcoming and accessible new area of the city. Through creative repurposing of existing buildings and spaces, such as the Pariser and Renold buildings, a 鈥渕eanwhile鈥� use strategy has been implemented to bring early activation to the site ahead of redevelopment, with a mix of commercial office, lab and makerspace premises, pop-up retail and leisure spaces, events and programmed activities focused on science, technology, arts, culture and innovation.
Once completed, ID 尖叫视频app will create over 10,000 new jobs and bring significant economic, social and environmental benefits to the city. Totaling over 4 million sq ft, the illustrative masterplan has the potential to accommodate over 2 million sq ft of commercial and retail space, and over 1,500 homes.
This is a key milestone in delivering our vision for ID 尖叫视频app and we鈥檙e excited to share our plans with the public. ID 尖叫视频app will see the transformation of the University's North campus, breathing new life into the site with a renewed purpose to drive positive economic, social and environmental change through innovation. For over a century, the site has been a centre for science, teaching and innovation, and ID 尖叫视频app will build on that history. We look forward to engaging with the public and the University鈥檚 stakeholders to hear their views on how ID 尖叫视频app can benefit residents and businesses across Greater 尖叫视频app.
The draft SRF for ID 尖叫视频app was approved for public consultation by 尖叫视频app City Council鈥檚 Executive Committee on 28 June 2023.
