Planning

Planning status: No Application

Planning authority: Coventry City Council

Application details:

A mixed-use development is appropriate within this sequentially preferable, sustainable City Centre location. The LPA would support either the repurposing of the existing building or the demolition and comprehensive redevelopment of the site, as the existing building has no special architectural or historic merit to warrant its retention. This would be subject to a high-quality redevelopment scheme
