| Aims and Objectives | The South Lanarkshire Local Plan - Town Centre and Retailing Policies set out the land use planning requirements for town centre and retail proposals in South Lanarkshire, The policies' objectives are to: - Sustain and enhance the vitality and viability of town centres and the network of village and local neighbourhood centres - Seek continuous improvement in the design quality of centres - Support consumer choice by supporting new retail proposals that do not threaten the vitality and viability of existing centres - Ensure that new developments are well integrated with public transportation networks |
| Conclusion | The conclusion of this initial impact assessment is that there are no adverse impacts on any part of the community covered by equalities legislation, or on community relations. This is due to the nature of the Town Centres and retailing policies which identify the land use planning requirements in relation to the provision of new developments. Detailed design requirements for new developments are addressed in other policies within the Local Plan. Consultation on all Local Plan policies is undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the Town and Country Planning legislation |
