TCR5 WGC Campus East Development Site
Land at Campus East in Welwyn Garden City, as defined on Inset Map 2, is identified for a mixed use development comprising retail, office and residential uses. The retail element shall be for convenience goods floorspace only, to address the qualitative requirement for convenience goods floorspace in the town centre identified in the plan. The site will be developed in a comprehensive manner, according to a Planning Brief to be subject to public consultation and approved by the Council as supplementary planning guidance.
The Council will require any development to be designed to a high standard to:
- Preserve and enhance the character of the Conservation Area, in particular to preserve the mature trees within and around the site;
- Achieve good pedestrian access and linkage with the rest of the town centre;
- Seek to improve passenger transport provision in the town centre;
- Maintain efficient vehicle movement on surrounding roads; and
- Provide adequate parking to meet the needs of the development and the strategic parking needs of the town centre as a whole.
