Option JQ1
Original Document
Jewellery Quarter: a growing creative quarter. The focus would be on expanding the number and range of quality freehold workshop and business premises with parking, suitable for jewellery businesses, professional offices and other creative industries. Larger development sites including new build and conversions would be developed for commercial uses with a range of unit sizes including such workshop/professional space. Where the existing historic buildings did not lend themselves easily to this approach, residential conversions would be acceptable.
Plain English Translation
Jewellery Quarter: a growing creative quarter.
With this option we would focus on increasing the number and range of quality freehold workshops and offices for jewellery businesses, other creative industries and the ‘professions’. These would need to have parking. There would need to be larger sites, whether newly built or converted, which have a wider choice of unit sizes for businesses.
Where the existing historic buildings are hard to convert for modern businesses then it would be OK to turn them into homes.
