Abbey Shopping Centre and Charter Area Supplementary Planning Document
Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) adopted by Council
We worked hard to ensure that the Abbey Shopping Centre and Charter Area in Abingdon are places where locals and visitors want to shop and socialise. To this aim we employed consultants Tibbalds Planning and Urban Design to produce a development brief for the redevelopment of the area. The document describes the characteristics of the area and sets out development principles that developers should follow when drawing up proposals.
Please find the SPD/Development Brief below. The document does not go into detail regarding the specifics of the development options, as further consultation on this will take place at the formal planning application stage.
Following consultation, which you can read about below, the Vale Council adopted the SPD on 14 December 2011. The final SPD, accompanying Sustainability Appraisal and the adoption statement can be found below:
