The site is predominantly occupied by service and civic uses, including a multi-storey car park, surface parking, the bus station, and the Westmorland Shopping Centre, currently used by Kendal College. The modernist Telephone Exchange and the rationalist Kentmere House (occupied by Job Centre Plus) occupy pivotal gateway locations; however, their scale and appearance detract from Kendal’s distinctive character. These larger structures interrupt the finer urban grain that defines much of Kendal’s historic core. Despite its proximity to the River Kent, the site currently makes limited use of its riverside setting.
