Pride in Place Programme Projects

The Upper Floor Conversion Scheme is an £800,000 project incentivising the conversion of vacant upper floor units in prime locations in Newark town centre into residential properties, addressing a current known viability gap due to market failure.

The project aims to achieve the following, whilst crucially protecting and enhancing Newark’s heritage assets:

• Encourage town centre vibrancy and pride in place through improved buildings and appearance.
• Improve feelings of safety through increased natural surveillance.
• Increase footfall through increased residential living in the town centre.

Both the precise scope and delivery arrangements are yet to be finalised by the Newark Town Board and will be available in due course.
