The residential neighbourhoods will continue to be great places to live.  Easy access to high quality services and employment in the town centre will help residents to meet most of their needs closer to home and sustain an even better quality of life.

Gradual renewal of older housing stock will be carefully managed to ensure new development is responsive to adjoining properties and to make a positive contribution to the character, amenity and safety.

A broader diversity of housing types will be encouraged.  Higher density development will be focused on identified regeneration sites and areas that are highly accessible to public transport and local services.  Camp Road and Blair Street will continue to provide start-up opportunities for local businesses.
