LTC14 Town centre vitality and viability

Development will need to sustain and enhance the viability and vitality of the town centre through:

  • a greater mix of ground floor uses which may include cafés, bars and other evening economy uses (in conformity with policy LTC17),
  • incorporation of design principles such as a mix of uses, active frontages and effective street lighting with a view to making the town centre a safer place,
  • shopfront improvements and funding programmes (see Shopfront Supplementary Planning Document).
