Rugby Central SPD
A Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) has been prepared to guide future redevelopment of the Rugby Central Shopping Centre to ensure a high quality design and enhanced public realm on the largest catalytic site in the town centre.
The proposed Rugby Central SPD does not seek to replicate or alter the existing adopted policy but to add design and placemaking principles and parameters to promote high quality design on an integral site within the town centre. This is part of the Council’s wider ambitions to take back control of the town and deliver real change for the benefit of existing businesses and residents. Any redevelopment of the site would have regard to existing businesses who are important stakeholders in this proposed transformation.
As a supplementary planning document, once adopted, the Rugby Central SPD will become a material consideration in determining planning proposals.
The document can be accessed here and hard copies are available to view at the following locations:
- Rugby Borough Council’s offices, Town Hall, Evreux Way, Rugby, CV12 2RR.
- Rugby Library and Information Centre, Little Elborow Street, Rugby,CV21 3BZ.
