Nicholsons Shopping Centre Community Planning Weekend

The Nicholsons Shopping Centre Community Planning Weekend, which was held from Friday 22 March to Tuesday 26 March 2019, gave the local community the opportunity to help shape the future mixed-use regeneration of this important part of the town centre.

Community Planning Weekend The Community Planning Weekend was a chance to share local knowledge and contribute to creating a new Vision through facilitated workshops, walkabouts and hands-on planning groups. Some 500-people attended over 2 days.

Report Back Presentation After the public workshop days, the JTP-led team analysed and summarised the outcomes and drew up a Vision for The Nicholsons Centre, including an illustrative masterplan. This was presented back to the local community on Tuesday 26 March at St Mary’s Church Hall.

Following the Community Planning Weekend, the design team will move forward to prepare a planning application, which it is anticipated will be submitted early in 2020.

Background The Maidenhead Town Centre Area Action Plan (AAP), adopted in 2011, aims to revive the character of the town centre, creating a sense of place and a destination for shoppers, residents, businesses or visitors. It identifies “opportunities for new building, new streets and spaces, for improved shopping facilities and attracting new businesses, for creating new homes and providing social and cultural attractions as well as further improving the towns accessibility”. 

The Nicholsons Shopping Centre is an important element of the town centre and its regeneration provides the opportunity for significant mixed-use redevelopment in line with the aspirations of the AAP.

The Community Planning Weekend was organised by JTP architects and Areli Real Estate on behalf of Tikehau Capital, the new owners of Nicholsons Shopping Centre.
