*Figure 5.4 Urban area box
Within the 'Urban Area' box the concept of increasing the density of development needs to be raised and subsequently developed in the Plan through policies. It is readily apparent that this concept can help fulfill most of the Borough's vision by growing existing local economies and improving existing communities whilst maintaining the context of existing green spaces. It is this that will contribute most to protecting and nurturing its existing high quality environment.
This concept finds expression to various degrees in contributing to all Strategic Objectives other than perhaps S07.
To avoid misunderstanding of the word urban and to maximize growth in this way this should apply to all areas of existing development e.g. town, suburb village.
