A rich mix of uses within the Town Centre will be encouraged to enhance and build upon the existing successful retail and cultural uses. A diversification of uses in the Town centre is required to make Cirencester more resilient and flexible in the face of rapid change. Diversity will include a wide range of functions and services, including business/ employment, education, leisure, entertainment, culture, community, and health.

New homes will be introduced in the Town Centre, along with associated amenity spaces and new public spaces, uplifting both the daytime and evening populations. This will help support the viability of all other uses, particularly evening entertainment.

To avoid rigid ‘zoning’, the blurring of boundaries, particularly through the growth of Town Centre living on upper floors with at ground floor level a variety of other main Town Centre uses, will play an important role in enhancing its resilience and vitality. Additionally, flexibility in design will be encouraged to enable future changes of use to take place as sustainably as possible, without the need for demolition or substantial rebuilding.
