Ashington Town Centre SPD

The Ashington Town Centre Supplementary Planning Document will provide more detailed guidance in support of the regeneration of Ashington Town Centre

Ashington Town Centre Supplementary Planning Document

 

The Ashington Town Centre Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) was adopted by Northumberland County Council on 24 February 2010. This SPD relates specifically to the north east part of Ashington Town Centre and has been developed by the Council with the support of the Regional Development Agency - One North East and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) to implement policies in the adopted Wansbeck District Local Plan (2007)

 

The Council consulted on a range of options for development in the north eastern part of the town centre during October 2009 and published a draft SPD in November 2009 upon which comments were invited from residents, businesses, landowners, service providers and other organisations with an interest in Ashington town centre.

 

The intention of the SPD is to ensure that any change in the north eastern part of the town centre has the optimum impact for that area and for the rest of the town centre. The strategy identified in the SPD has been developed with regard to anticipated availability of public resources to assist in delivering the change required to enhance perceptions of the quality of the town centre. The SPD will be a material consideration in the determination of planning applications for the comprehensive redevelopment of the north eastern part of the town centre and will provide a framework to guide and influence public sector investment.

 

The document can be viewed by clicking on the links below. The SPD is accompanied by a number of technical documents including a Baseline Report, Sustainability Appraisal and Retail Analysis.  Links to all these background documents can be found in the Related Documents section below.
