Episode Details

Leicester’s iconic Odeon Arcade is set for a major transformation, with demolition paving the way for a five-story mixed-use development featuring 35 homes and new shops — all while preserving its historic Art Deco facade on Market Place. After a previous plan was rejected for being too tall and out of scale with nearby Grade Two listed buildings, the revised design now meets heritage guidelines and includes four affordable units. Concerns over altering the character of Market Place and Cank Street persist, but city officials argue the regeneration benefits outweigh the drawbacks, calling this iteration an improvement over the last proposal.
