TC1: Staines Town Centre
The Council will maintain the role of Staines as the principal town centre serving north Surrey by encouraging developments that contribute to the vitality and viability of the centre and are of a scale and character appropriate to its role. In particular it will:
- make provision for a further 32,000sqm of retail development to meet the needs of its catchment area,
- encourage measures to improve traffic management in the town centre and to further improve accessibility by public transport and other non car-based modes, and if necessary will require such improvements in connection with major developments in the town centre,
- manage its public car parks to give priority to meeting demand from shoppers and make more limited provision for long stay parking to support strategies to encourage other modes. It will also support measures to control on-street parking in the vicinity of the town centre,
- continue to work with its partners to ensure the effective management of the town centre and will look for opportunities for further improvements to the town centre environment.
