WTC10 - High Quality Environment

In order to improve the town centre’s image and public realm, we will:

  1. Conserve and enhance the centre’s historic environment and heritage assets and ensure it is a key feature of the town centres regeneration;
  2. Development close to heritage assets should be designed to complement and enhance them and be well integrated into the local context;
  3. Support improvements to the market, particularly in terms of appearance, function and pedestrian circulation;
  4. Improve the pedestrian environment through a range of public realm improvements and by including Walthamstow as part of the ‘Legible London’ wayfinding scheme;
  5. Where appropriate, seek developer contributions to permanent and temporary art interventions and public realm improvements within the centre;
  6. Improve the lighting in and around the centre to improve safety and security;
  7. Remove unnecessary obstacles, barriers and street clutter within the public realm;
  8. Enhance and improve the quality of green spaces throughout the centre; and
  9. Provide play facilities within the centre or seek contributions towards in the centre, particularly in areas of deficiency.
