TCD1: Town Centre Development

High quality new developments will be encouraged within Sudbury Town where appropriate. In particular, the redevelopment of inappropriate uses within the town centre will be encouraged. Inappropriate uses are those which aren’t classed as main town centre uses in the NPPF30 and have negative impact on amenity and are not included in the following list of main town centre uses:

  • retail development (including warehouse clubs and factory outlet centres);
  • leisure;
  • entertainment facilities;
  • the more intensive sport and recreation uses (including cinemas, restaurants, drive-through restaurants, bars and pubs, night-clubs, casinos, health and fitness centres, indoor bowling centres, indoor bowling centres, and bingo halls);
  • offices; and
  • arts, culture and tourism development including theatres, museums, galleries and concert halls, hotels and conference facilities).

Developments within the town centre should comprise an appropriate active town centre use at ground floor level, in line with Policy TCU1, and residential units (C3 use) or offices (Use Class B1) on upper floors.
