National Town Centre First policy
The Town Centre First policy approach is for places to be shaped by communities that live there and to embrace opportunities presented by technology, climate action and demographic change.
The policy aims to create town centres that function as viable, vibrant and attractive locations for people to live, work and visit, while also functioning as the service, social, cultural and recreational hub for the local community.
The adjacent diagram presents an overview of the Town Centre First policy, encompassing the policy’s vision for successful town centre and a number of key policy themes. Leave in or not (and put the diagram if so)
It is important to ensure that the plan is prepared in direct response to this policy vision and themes. Specific plan themes most relevant to the plan for Sixmilebridge have emerged from analysis and engagement. We will highlight how these specific themes relate to and address the policy themes and vision in the sections that follow.
