Under the peoposals, designed by , The Harris Partnership, the existing centre, which lies to the South of the town centre,will be demolished and re-built with a new scheme that will act as an anchor for the regeneration of the town's commercial area with excellent pedestrian links to key areas such as Market Street, The Piece Hall and key transport hubs. The new scheme will have 500 parking spaces.
Submission of the planning application by The Harris Partnership follows two years of working closely with the developer, as well as Calderdale Council. A public exhibition held in June, and prepared by the practice received positive feedback.
Michael Schorah. managing director of The Harris Partnership said: “Our client has identified a need to redevelop a site which will radically enhance this part of Halifax while complementing the existing shopping facilities. The design is striking, utilising quality materials throughout and will be a welcome addition to the town centre. We are delighted to be playing such a key role in the regeneration of the town which is becoming a great retail destination.”
