New City living experience for Cathedral Quarter

A semi-derelict site on Campo Lane in the City Centre Conservation Area is set to be transformed into a block of 50 apartments, in the Cathedral Quarter’s first major investment in city living.

Planning permission has been granted today by the City Centre and East Planning and Highways Board for the half acre site on the corner of Campo Lane and Vicar Lane.

The ground floor of the seven storey building will have shops, offices and a bar or cafes. There’ll also be parking for cars, motorbikes and bicycles.

Cllr Peter Price, Chair of the City Centre and East Planning and Highways Board said: “This is the first major investment in city living in the Cathedral Quarter. It will bring more life and vitality to this part of the city centre and will stimulate further interest in the area.”

Wow! That's opposite me!! Could do with another bar there, stonehouses is just full of ******s!!

Hmm, Peter Price obviously doesn't get out much these days. Hasn't he noticed anything being planned or built around the Cathedral Qtr at Leopold St, High St, St Georges St, Campo Ln, Church St, West St or Bank St?

Maybe he is just talking it up because the Council sold the site to the applicant on the worst possible terms that you could have imagined. The council havent even been paid for it yet, and won't be paid up for probably a year or more.

If you have a wonder down Campo Lane mate you'll find that there a couple of boozers down there already,the Art Room which is down there has the occasional saturday night when they play some serious DnB.:)

Anyway back on topic.
I'm quite suprised its took them this long to start planning some developments down there,there does seem to be quite a bit of space down there not actually doing anything,and its a pretty decent location as well in the city center.
Apart from all those nice bell ringers in the cathedral on a sunday morning,ouch!!

Wow! didn't know about the d'n'b!! Maybe we should meet for more beers... and an SFII tournament of course!!! Off to an RPG group tonight above the frag cafe... Maybe this weekend???
