St Mary's Hospital and Post Office Sites Planning Brief

The purpose of this Brief is to examine the characteristics of the site, the policies which affect it, the demands now being placed on it and set out the relevant issues that need to be addressed. It does not seek to promote any specific development option, but is intended to ensure that the proper development of the site takes place in a co-ordinated manner to meet the objectives set out in the Unitary Development Plan.

The new development opportunities for the St Mary’s and Post office sites described in this Draft Brief outline the potential for a mixed-use development that can incorporate residential, commercial, educational, leisure and health uses in a high-quality, waterside location. Special consideration will need to be given to the provision of affordable housing, the regeneration of Praed Street and the waterfront, together with improved pedestrian and vehicular access into and through the site.

On the 16th December Committee approved the St Mary's Hospital & Post Office Sites Draft Planning Brief for consultation purposes.
