Conclusion
SECTION 3
Evaluation
This Woolwich Town Centre Supplementary Planning Document builds upon the Woolwich Town Centre Masterplan of 2012.

The decision to produce an SPD was made in order to provide a detailed vision for how development in Woolwich Town Centre will be able to improve the area as a whole, not just through specific development sites, of which there are relatively few.
Used a broad range of tools in a clear and effective way The diagram below shows a wide mix of tools used in the SPD as opposed to the 2012 Masterplan’s almost exclusive use of guidance. Data in Table 2 Annex
The SPD is likely to be more successful that the 2012 Masterplan document because it has:

wider arrows. It is evident that Public Realm was most strongly cross referenced, followed equally by Connectivity and Social Infrastructure and lastly Land Use mix.

These results are expected due to the pressing need to address disparities within the pubic realm, connectivity and social infrastructure in Woolwich. Incentivising mixed day and night time use and optimising density will support these improvements to take place by stimulating Woolwich’s economy.
Carefully considered language used The SPD learnt from the Masterplan’s use of vague, imprecise language to ensure that it strikes a clear balance between informational, directive and aspirational tones.
