Stafford St The Moorings A Summary of STONE TOWN CENTRE ‘VISION’ (Adopted) A Framework for Regeneration Public spaces & activities Mix of uses & frontages Image & identity Access & movement Aim The aim of ‘Stone Town Centre Vision’ document is to provide a proactive and creative discussion document leading towards the creation of a broad, long term, framework for the future of Stone Town Centre, within which detailed policies and proposals can be further developed through future development briefs and/or masterplans for specific sites. The document aims to stimulate thinking and discussion, to apply ‘joined up thinking’ and to help decide how town centre issues could be tackled. The Borough Council did not do this alone, through 8 months of public consultation we built a shared vision, all of whom make vital contributions to continued success. ‘Stone Town Centre Vision is adopted as ‘Development & Design Guide’ by Stafford Borough Council to guide the future of Stone town centre improvement. The guide forms the basis of discussion with relevant planning applicants for sites in Stone town centre’. Urban Design & Landscape Framework November 2005 Vision The document is a useful tool for developing and promoting a sustainable town centre for the 21st Century. The document will provide a clear design vision to reinforce and support the physical structure of the town centre, building upon its strengths as a historic market town. ‘To create Stone town centre as a quality place for shopping, working, living and playing and to promote an economical, social and environmental sustainable town centre for the 21st Century and beyond’.
