CP23 Tonbridge Town Centre

The policy for Tonbridge Town Centre is to provide for a sustainable development pattern of retail, employment, housing and leisure uses, and a range of other services to regenerate and enhance the vitality and viability of the Town Centre by:

  • maximising the use of the waterfront with appropriate mixed-use developments and the provision of environmental enhancements and public spaces;
  • enhancing traffic management and accessibility for all;
  • improving conditions for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport in the High Street;
  • enhancing the transport interchange at Tonbridge Station;
  • ensuring an appropriate level of accessible and safe car parking provision;
  • enhancing the public realm, including protecting and enhancing important open spaces and the creation of new ones, reducing the potential for anti-social behaviour and the fear of crime and making design statements at the gateways to the town centre;
  • improving air quality in the Air Quality Management Area at the southern end of the High Street.
