CONNECTIVITY The key to the success of the public realm strategy is the ability to connect all of the sites together and make walking between them easier. Each key site will therefore be linked to each other enabling a flow from one space to the next. Without improved connectivity individual developments and projects will be isolated and will not complement each other. A range of types of improvements are proposed including seven amendments along Stockton Street. These include new crossings, the removal of guard rails, and revised priority junctions. These will help pedestrians cross the road but also maintain a steady flow of traffic and maintain road safety. In addition, public realm and junction improvements are also proposed to Church Street and Church Square, Victory Square/Victoria Road and York Road. These improvements, along with those proposed at the Waterfront to increase the ease with which people can move around the Masterplan Area.

The Masterplan will then be used to guide development in the Masterplan Area over the short, medium and long-term on a phased basis. It will also be a key document to support securing investment and supporting economic growth. The viability of the Masterplan proposals has been carefully considered as part of the process in order to demonstrate that the Masterplan is deliverable.
