The St John’s Hill Area Masterplan is separate to, but affiliated with, the Town Centre Masterplan, which it has been produced in conjunction with up until point of consultation. While progress on the St John’s Hill Area Masterplan continues, the Town Centre Masterplan has been temporarily delayed due to the recent uncertainty of future local government structures caused by the Government’s Reorganisation proposals. (Separate to Devolution proposals)
Consultation on the Town Centre Masterplan has therefore been delayed until Summer 2025.
