Neighbourhood regeneration
 |
The development of neighbourhoods and locating development in the right places is an important element in achieving sustainability; creating places that people want to live in, and ensuring that there is sufficient access to services and facilities within the local area to reduce the need to travel.
One of the Council's Big Ambitions is for ‘Every neighbourhood to be a successful neighbourhood’; seeking to build on the distinctive character of the city and working towards creating safe, strong healthy and attractive communities.
Design considerations
Locate retail, leisure or community buildings within district or local centres.
Ensure that residential and office development are located so that there is good access to a district or local centre.
Locate general industry or warehousing adjacent to the strategic road network.
Ensure that there is sufficient infrastructure provision within the local area (e.g. schools) to meet the increased demand.
