Development Within Centres - Sustainable Location Strategy
The Council promotes sustainable development in identified centres with good public transport, walking and cycling access, and reduced private car dependency to sustain vitality and viability of Borough centres.
The Council wishes to promote sustainable development within the Borough's identified centres, ensuring that new developments are located where there are good public transport services, with better access for those walking and cycling and with less dependence on private car usage. This complements the Council's overall town centre first approach and seeks to help sustain and enhance the vitality and viability of our Borough's centres, which are important hubs for a range of activities that have a positive impact on those who live and work in, or visit them.
