posted in: Planning | 0

ArcadiaScaffolding will be removed from the Arcadia corner building in July and the 3 shops will be trading before Christmas, we learnt at our AGM on 29 April. Representatives from Benson Elliot, Allies and Morrison Architects and Londonewcastle went on to tell us about their plans for the rest of the block bounded by the Broadway, Springbridge Road, the car park across the railway and the B455. These include a new pedestrian street (Haven Yard) following the line of the existing alleyway, larger shops along the Broadway, smaller units on the pedestrian route, residential courtyards, and buildings no higher than those on the south of the Broadway. Planning for this Phase 2 of Arcadia is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2014, building will start before the end of 2015 and will be finished within 18-24 months.
