New homes and green spaces

If some existing car park sites were made available for other uses in the future, potential options for redevelopment could include:

• High-quality city centre homes that are affordable to local people of different ages
• Accommodation for students of the newly created NMITE and existing College of Art
• New green and open spaces for those who live, work in, and visit Hereford
• Hotel or other visitor accommodation
• Community and health facilities
• Commercial workspaces

Design principles for new residential development

The masterplan will set out key principles to guide the development of new homes in Hereford:

• High quality design
• Respectful of surrounding architecture
• Fitting local height and scale
• Mix of tenures – sale, shared ownership, social rent
• Strong environmental and biodiversity credentials
• Supported by school, health, and community facilities
