Home to a world class Fashion Museum attracting significant footfall, the Milsom Street core will house a range of high-end fashion retailers, but in recognition of the ways in which retail is changing, Milsom Quarter as a whole will become more diverse.
Opportunities will be taken to deliver more housing in the area through new development and conversion of underused space on upper floors of existing buildings - the potential for over 180 additional homes has been identified.
