This chapter outlines the importance of mixing uses to create diversity of activity in streets and spaces, and to contribute to the vitality and sustainability of towns and neighbourhoods. Advice is given on:
• Mixed use development including residential, retail, commercial, and leisure depending on the context;
• Infill and backland developments; shopfronts; and mixed tenure residential;
• The design of mixed-use centres, the relationship to public space, increasing footfall, and ensuring strong connections to encourage pedestrian activity cycling and public transport
• Gypsy, Roma and Travellers guidance;
• Extra Care housing;
• Designing residential and nursing care homes.
• We support the key headings listed on the divider page 123 (10.0 Uses).
• We suggest the headings from page 123 are carried over the the next page, and /or subheadings grouped into these categories; as the information presented on page 124 can appear overwhelming.
• The Chapter would benefit from a end of section Checklist to summarise design element considerations.
