Apart from the 5 storey aspect I think its exactly what's needed. A centralisation of the shop offerings, everything beyond pencester is basically dead or dying. The Charlton centre isn't long for this world! Concentrating the central offering around St james and the market square development is the best chance for the survival of a 'high street'
If only they would close Castle street and King street to traffic!
9 and 10 king st, I guess one would be the kebab shop?
