Homes England share our vision of changing the city centre and creating more homes within this key part of Plymouth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have made huge inroads and investment in our city centre, which is paying off, with increased interest from business and more footfall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe know that Plymouth is being talked about in Whitehall \u2013 Plymouth has enormous potential and we are delighted to welcome the board here to see for themselves what makes Plymouth special.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have been working with Homes England on our vision for the city centre for a while now and we look forward to this positive relationship continuing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The partnership will aim to deliver the transformation of the oversized retail core into a\u00a0 mixed-use city centre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chair of Homes England, Peter Freeman, added: \u201cIt was fantastic to be in Plymouth to see the latest public realm investments first hand and how plans to regenerate Plymouth\u2019s city centre are taking shape. It is clear that the council has recognised the opportunity here to provide much needed new homes and bring more people to the heart of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;We look forward to continuing our relationship with Plymouth City Council to help achieve their ambitious plans for the city&#8217;s place-based approach to regeneration, creating a community people can be proud to call home.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plymouth\u2019s city centre is unusual in that has a significantly lower number of people living there, with only 1,000 homes, compared to an average of 8,000 in other cities of a similar size.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other very particular issues the city centre faces are the conditions beneath the ground, which was essentially filled in and built over at speed after the war. Initial work on sites is therefore expensive before buildings rise up above the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are also long-term regeneration plans for the area around the railway station, as well as the West End, where the Community Diagnostic Centre is being delivered in partnership with University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Partnership to enable the delivery of significant\u00a0 regeneration opportunities<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":17137,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"coauthors":[81],"class_list":["post-17851","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-property","tag-devon","tag-top-story"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 -
