Bus station is included within Opportunity Area B, however IP054b should be extended north to include the bus station. The future redevelopment of part/ all of the site could enhance connectivity by providing a pedestrian-friendly mixed-use area to link Turret Lane to Dogs Head Lane and the Buttermarket. The land (in red) is under lease as a bus station, however given wider regeneration aims for this area, IP054b should be extended north to cover the opportunity area. This would ensure that the plan remains flexible over the plan period, particularly towards the end and ensure plan soundness.
Extend IP054B northwards to cover the Opportunity Area B/ Cattlemarket Bus Station (Merchants Quarter).
