The project team is interested in talking to ambitious institutional funds who wish to invest in mixed use and residential led sites within Warrington primarily for Built to Rent. Locally, and regionally, this is considered a significant project in terms of driving growth within the town centre. At 112 hectares, the opportunity is considered one of the largest development opportunities on the high speed network outside of London.
The huge growth plans around the site, being led by Warrignton & Co, will support 10,000 jobs, 3,000+ new homes, 190,000 sq m of commercial floor space and bring back into use circa 40 hectares of obsolete brownfield land. Through the design of the station interchange and hub masterplan, HS2 will play a vital role, along with key local stakeholders in creating a new growth area around the high-speed rail station. As part of the Phase 2b works currently going through Parliament for Royal Assent, passive connection has been allowed for at Bank Quay and Manchester Airport for a potential future high speed connection. In 2021 it was announced that HS2 would travel through Bank Quay on the former Fiddlers Ferry freight line, linking Liverpool, Warrington to Manchester and Crewe. The area known as Warrington Bank Quay has historically been a strategically important location for heavy industrial uses due to its access to the river Mersey and rail interchange at Bank Quay. Venue: Arup, Admiral House, Rose Wharf, 78 East Street, Leeds The session will be lead by report author and Arup’s Europe Region Lead for Social Value & Inclusive Cities who is joined by Cllr Fiona Vennor, Leeds City Council Executive Member for Adult & Childrens Social Care.
The event will explore the new Proximity of Care Design guide, developed by Arup and the Bernard van Leer Foundation as a practical tool for urban practitioners, developers, city authorities and child development professionals to embed child and family friendly design principles into their work. We are delighted to bring as part of our UKREiiF programme, a unique interactive event exploring how we can improve the way our cities support the development and wellbeing of young children. How can our cities be shaped to become more inclusive, to benefit current and future generations? What is the role of the built environment as a play and learning resource for children growing up in our towns and cities? Inclusive Cities | Child Friendly Urban Planning
