Town Centre Redevelopment

14.15 In consultation with the local community the Borough Council has started work on a masterplan for the centre of Haverhill. This is designed to identify a long term vision with ideas and options for the development of the town centre. It will set the context for the regeneration of the central area and provide the framework for individual development proposals to come forward.

POLICY HAV5: HAVERHILL TOWN CENTRE MASTERPLAN

Haverhill Town Centre, as identified on the Proposals Map and under Policy TCR1 is a suitable location for regeneration and new development. The amount of land available for development, including appropriate adjoining sites that will support the regeneration objectives, the location and distribution of uses, access arrangements, design and landscaping will be informed by a masterplan and subsequent individual site development briefs, which will be adopted as guidance.

Applications for planning permission for sites, other than already identified in the Replacement Local Plan for development, and which would have a strategic impact on the development of the masterplan will only be considered once the masterplan has been adopted as planning guidance by the local planning authority following public consultation.
