Development opportunities for Greyfriars

This survey introduces some different ideas for future development on the site that we’d like to hear your thoughts about.

What we know

There are a number of things that are fixed about the site and any future development:

• To make any changes or development financially possible, there has to be a minimum number of homes on the site. This means low density home like semi-detached houses won’t be financially possible
• There is a substation on Greyfriars car park, this will be very expensive to move so will have to be designed around.
• There will be retail space included in new development.

Refurbishment option

One option for the site is to refurbish the existing tower blocks and build new development around them, on areas like the surface car park.

Redevelopment options

The other option for the site is to demolish some of the existing blocks and build new homes, designing new public and private open space alongside them. Here we are going to introduce a number of different ideas and we’d like to hear your thoughts on whether you think they would be good for Greyfriars.
