Town and neighbourhood centres review

A review of the role and function of the city’s town and neighbourhood centres as defined in the council’s now superseded unitary development plan 2004 to 2016 (policies saved beyond 21 June 2009) has been completed. New centres that were proposed through the now withdrawn core strategy, former key local centres (as defined in the 1995 unitary development plan) and other clusters of retail activity were also reviewed.

This review formed part of the evidence base for the now adopted Salford Local Plan: Development Management Policies and Designations in determining:  

• Whether it was appropriate to continue to designate Salford’s then existing town and neighbourhood centres
• Whether it was appropriate to designate any new centres (leaving aside City Centre Salford)
• An appropriate boundary for each of the centres
• The primary shopping area within the town centres.
