Thatcham Town Centre Design Appraisal
The Thatcham Design Appraisal has been prepared by Turley Associates on behalf of West Berkshire Council to provide the evidence base for a future policy framework for the town centre. This appraisal will also help in meeting the objectives of the Thatcham Vision, which include:
- reinforcing Thatcham's identity as an independent thriving market town for services;
- reducing the need for residents to travel elsewhere; and
- improving the look and feel of the town.
In order to give clear guidance and a positive policy framework for the design of new buildings, spaces and the refurbishment of existing ones, this Design Appraisal sets out an analysis of the vitality and viability of the town centre's shopping functions, as well as recommendations for the enhancement of the town centre. It is a non-statutory document, which will form part of Local Development Framework (LDF) evidence base and it identifies the scope and potential for improvement of the town centre.
