The scheme outlined in the planning application will greatly enhance the existing site and will provide:
- a pedestrian passageway through the site, providing greater public accessibility;
- an improved streetscape, providing buildings that are more sympathetic to the local architecture; and
- more than 40,000 square feet of new retail space, making the area more attractive to visitors and the local working population.
- re-cladding the existing Exchange Tower building;
- a new 8 storey building on the site of the old market floor; and
- a new 5 storey building on the corner of Old Broad Street and Throgmorton Street.
