Should preserve most interesting features and put in good quality new buildings.
The vision which is set out in the Revised Planning Framework is do precisely this.
Tower Works and Temple Works are outstanding features. Keep as many views of the former as possible.
This is taken into consideration on all planning applications.
Look for beauty in old buildings that are already there and match old with new to keep some of the mystery.
Agreed, as above.
Keep aspects of the engineering and manufacturing background in an up to date environment.
the streetworks team team will ensure this is kept with the Materials Design Guide and key pieces such as the old Boulton and Watt machine at the Round Foundry site.
Please remove ugly buildings such as that at the top of Marshall's Street on Water Lane.
See developers proposals for this site.
It gives the place its character and identity.
Agreed.
Make it more accessible but don't 'gentrify' it - increased property prices could push out present residnets.
Most former residents have long gone and the buildings are alrgely derilict. Businesses that are still there such as Dvaid Street Cafe will be worked with on a one-to level to ensure they do not feel pushed. Residents will be able to benefit the affordable housing allocations in various schemes.
More interpretation needed. The Secrets and Lights exhibitions were a good start but more needs to be done which could increase the potential of the urban village as a visitor attraction.
Agreed.
