Mansfield Town Centre Masterplan
The site sits within area 2 on the plan below.
The key objectives for this Quarter are as follows:
1
2
Delivery of new development that is an appropriate scale and grain to complement the existing character of the area.
3
Delivery of a scheme that contributes activity to the ground floors along key routes both new and existing. The land uses are likely to include residential with small elements of alternative uses to help add interest and activity at key moments.
4
The careful selection of materials to complement the existing historic and industrial character of the area.
5
Deliver a new/improved route through the site from Midworth Street to White Hart Street.
6
Deliver a central open space which adds greening to the area and creates a pocket public space in this area of town which is currently underserved.
7
Any scheme will need to creatively address the level changes within the site, consider flood risks (part of the site sits in flood zones 2 and 3) and accommodate the required car parking to serve future users of the site.
