We are developing an area action plan which focuses on the future of the town centre. This will give a template to allocate land for new development opportunities and provide planning policies to control, guide and promote change in the town centre until 2018.

Evidence Informing the Town Centre Area Action Plan (TCAAP)
As part of the evidence base and to inform policies in the TCAAP, a Retail Needs Study has been carried out and is available to download from the evidence base page .

Latest Version of the TCAAP
