‘Issues and Options’ consultation
The Framework Masterplan for Bowness Bay and The Glebe shows there could be several different developments within the overall regeneration of Bowness Bay and The Glebe. We want to work with partners to deliver the developments as a comprehensive, coordinated project. It is likely that the work will be done in stages. We expect some developments to happen before others. But we want to identify the wider location for the project, so that we can make sure the public realm improvements help to enhance any commercial developments. And the other way round too!
