Aerial View84 Areas of Change - High StreetSection 4Taunton UDF
DeliveryOutputsThere are two separate sites to the east and west of HighStreet – the Crescent site and land to the rear of OldMarket Shopping Centre. These sites can potentially bedelivered independently but must be considered as a singlecomprehensive scheme. Development of these sites coulddeliver:• 30,000 sqm of retail.• 200 residential units.• New bus station.• 1,000 public parking spaces.• Improved public realm.Public Sector InvolvementThere has been delay in bringing forward a retaildevelopment in this area due to difficulties of landassembly and uncertain market conditions.There would now seem to be demand for a scheme of thescale envisaged and the immediate priority is for detailednegotiations to begin with the key landowners in additionto Taunton Deane Borough Council, principally StandardLife and Dawnay Day Properties. Both landowners haveexpressed interest in taking development schemes forwardin more detail.Delivery IssuesCo-operation is essential with the owners of the OldMarket Centre (Standard Life) and to a lesser extent theowners of Crown Walk (Dawnay Day). Otherlandownerships would need to be acquired and thewillingness to the use of CPO powers would be required.Comprehensive development also requires relocation ofthe library and of Quantock House which can beincorporated in other ‘Areas of Change’.Land in public ownershipTaunton UDF Section 4 Areas of Change - High Street85
