NPPF TC2: Development in town centres

TC2: Development in town centres 1. In considering proposals for development in town centres, substantial weight should be given to the benefits of: a. Supporting the overall vitality and viability of the centre, including where this can be achieved through the diversification of uses, intensification and provision of residential accommodation (provided this would not conflict with policies in the development plan for specific locations); and b. Improving or retaining access to local shops and other facilities which provide day-to- day services for the local community.
