Warrington town centre
CAR-FREE developments and ‘maximising the Mersey as a placemaking feature’ are among the proposals for the future of Warrington town centre.
Residents are being invited to share their views on a new document aimed at ensuring a well-designed, vibrant, attractive and sustainable future for the heart of the borough.
Warrington Borough Council is launching a public consultation on its d
raft town centre supplementary planning document (SPD), which will set out the design expectations of the council for developers bringing forward proposals in the town centre.
The document will support the council in managing the increasing number of development proposals coming forward in the town centre by bringing together the vision and aspirations for the sustainable development of the town centre to benefit all residents, business and visitors to the town, establishing clear design principles to guide new development in the town centre and across key development sites and requiring developers to give more detailed consideration to how their proposals will contribute to the wider town centre at the start of their design process.
