Coventry City Centre South – Phase 1

Comprehensive redevelopment of the southern part of the city centre will establish a new residential quarter, delivering circa. 1500 new homes. This live/work neighbourhood will bring life back into the heart of Coventry. The proposals are based on creating a new community around the existing Coventry Market, which inhabits its circular Modern listed building. The public realm focus will be a public square fronting the market, so that it becomes much more visually prominent and accessible, linking with a network of new pedestrian friendly streets. These will greatly enhance the quality and range of retail and recreational activity, coordinating with the successful regeneration in other parts of the city in recent years. The intensity of urban greening is demonstrably high, with 26% of the site as green space, 250+ new trees planted, over 300% BNG and maximised green space at all levels, including podiums and biodiverse roofs.
