Developing Southampton

Three developments in Southampton, one completed, one with planning permission and the other in the planning stage, continue the improvement to the city. Planning permission has been granted for a new 9,290 sq.metres (100,000 sq.ft.) arts complex, retail space and restaurant units in a joint venture between the council and Grosvenor.

There will also be 29 flats on the site which is around the Guildhall Square. Councillor Royston Smith commented: “Another key development in the Cultural Quarter is coming to fruition. It will be a place where all the arts can thrive and draw in hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.” The second new scheme is a 155 bedroom Premier Inn at West Quay which Cllr. Smith said “is a key element of the West Quay development, which is part of the city’s renaissance plan.” The third project is a plan for Southampton’s tallest building. The residential scheme at Ocean Village with 28 storeys is being developed by Allied Develeopments.
