KBR25: EXISTING AND NEW DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE STRATEGIC CULTURAL AREA

Existing cultural, education and research uses within the Strategic Cultural Area which contribute positively to the character of the area and the original ambitions of the 1851 Royal Commission will be conserved.

New development for cultural, education, research or other uses which strengthens the role, reputation or experience of visiting the Strategic Cultural Area and retains or enhances the area’s special character will be supported, subject to accordance with other development plan policies.

Ancillary developments within the Strategic Cultural Area which help to broaden the appeal and promote the remits of cultural, education and research organisations to a wider audience will be supported.

Other types and forms of development may also be appropriate if it can be demonstrated that they do not adversely impact on the special character of the area.
