  2. Buildings of between 5-6 storeys in height.
  3. An enhanced arrival point to the City Centre providing for high quality public car parking in a multi-storey format with vehicular access direct from Mayflower Street and seamless pedestrian connections into Cornwall Street.
  4. A north / south connection through the block which provides smaller scale spaces in the City Centre to support a greater range of land uses. 
  5. Enhanced setting of the coach station with new build frontage and improved direct pedestrian and cycle access to the car park and to all surrounding streets.
  6. Further enhancements as required to support a high quality of environment and facilities at the coach station.
