Spatial Strategy-Town Centre:

Because of the ongoing regeneration program (new station, station plaza, new college and university developments) the character and fabric of the town centre is changing. The Greenway project aims to support this regeneration by creating new Green Infrastructure right through the town centre.

Using the unique character of the rail corridor, the Greenway aims to develop a special amenity precinct that is safer and more attractive. Because of its linear park-like setting the Greenway town centre link helps create a unified leafier infrastructure that is more civic than retail in character.

Paragraphs 6.75 & 6.76 since planning obligations will be severely curtailed from 2014, and having regard to numerous references to developer/development contributions, the Core Strategy should at least lean towards confirming it will be necessary to introduce CIL before 2028. More specifically, with regard to Community Infrastructure Regulations 2010 (as amended) paragraphs 6.75 and 6.76 should be careful to avoid apparently ruling out the use of planning obligations to secure contributions towards providing site and/or locality specific infrastructure which meets the tests in para 6.70.
