This planned development has great potential to contribute to the regeneration of the canal side area creating demand for services such as shops bars and community facilities and making it a busy and safe place. It is near the station so people could live in the flats or apartments who mainly use public transport. Careful planning is needed to ensure the development including the outside spaces such as walkways, benches, information boards and planting etc is attractive, architect designed. Waste water must be treated carefully (this is mentioned in the plan). It is a historic building so the architect will need to be carefully selected and must be a firm who has experience of authentic and sensitive renovation of industrial buildings.
