This scheme, which opened in 2002, consists of 165 retail units, 18 cafés and bars, a nightclub and a multiplex cinema. Transport advice was provided in relation to the new 2,800 space multi-storey car park and bus station. The closure of Timberlake Road (a key element of the town’s central gyratory circuit) proved to be particularly challenging. A roadside interview survey was conducted to determine its use, prior to a model being developed to demonstrate how traffic would be re-routed following its closure.
The Festival Place scheme was brought forward in partnership with Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council. TPP are now advising the new owners on further development opportunities.
