(St Modwen's initial concept for the Arcade site)
Arcade proposals on show
Exciting new proposals for a landmark development on the Arcade site have been on display in Walthamstow town centre.
The Council’s preferred developer, St Modwen, ran a series of public exhibitions in the town square next to Walthamstow library as the first stage of public consultation on its proposals prior to a planning application that will be made in early 2008.
The displays showed initial concepts for a striking mixed-use development on the gateway site at the junction of Hoe Street and High Street.
As well as 65,000sq ft of retail, café bars and restaurants space, the proposals show a mix of private and affordable housing including three and four bedroom family homes.
St Modwen is also considering three options for part of the area above the new retail - including a multi-screen cinema or a 75 bedroom family hotel or additional residential accommodation.
The exhibitions were held in a marquee erected in the market square on Thursday September 13 between 1pm and 7.30pm , Friday 14 from 10am to 5.30pm and on Saturday 15 from 10am to 4pm.
