We are preparing an Area Action Plan for the MetroGreen Area of Change. We have used the findings from the baseline and mitigation work as well as consultation feedback from previous consultations and workshops with key stakeholders to identify a preferred spatial option for the MetroGreen area.
The preferred spatial option includes 974 homes, 25,500 square metres of leisure development and ancillary uses and a 200 bed hotel that will support the role of the Intu Metrocentre.
The Pre-Consultation Options Report sets out the assessment of four spatial options and identification of a preferred option for the MetroGreen area. A Sustainability Appraisal has been carried out on the options and preferred option,
The feedback from this consultation will inform the MetroGreen Area Action Plan Draft Plan.
