- Masterplanning and urban design Regeneration
Johnny Clayton joined Carter Jonas in July 2018 to head up the masterplanning and urban design practice across the UK. Johnny is a Masterplanner and Urban Designer, with a broad skills base and over 16 years of project experience encompassing conceptual design, masterplanning, urban design, detailed design and project implementation. His particular specialism and passion is for strategic land projects including new settlements, but also urban mixed-use regeneration schemes. Johnny is also a Chartered Landscape Architect since 2008.
Nuneaton is an attractive market town which is highly accessible by all transport modes, but especially by rail. It also benefits from having several large development opportunity sites in the town centre, which could significantly improve its potential to create a vibrant mixed-use location that is appealing to a younger market.
Our masterplanning professionals were appointed to prepare an initial development prospectus for presentation to developers, and subsequently to consider a more detailed development brief for the most important regeneration opportunities within the town centre ring road. Our proposal included:
- Opening the River Anker waterfront
- Creating a major new rail gateway
- Integrating rail and bus interchange facilities
- Improving the tourism and leisure offer
- Widening the retail offer to embrace town centre living
