Potential Redevelopment Outline planning permission was granted in December 2013 (13/01088FM) for a development comprising a mix of retail, office, health facility and residential use. This included both some demolition and new build. Further plans upon request. 2
The scheme comprised 1,620 m of retail and medical 2 2 space, plus 90 m of café, 523 m of office space and 8 one bed and 19 two bed flats. A subsequent application was granted in May 2014 to allow all Uses Classes (A1-5) with an area of 2,136 sq m. Alternatively the existing building could be refurbished and units created both fronting Paradise Parade and Blackfriars Street to provide large open plan ground floor space with ancillary accommodation. For leisure and retail uses.

Both schemes allow for the creation of new windows/doors along both main frontages.
