The People & Places Partnership offers a proven track-record in evidenced-based, collaborative working for the revitalisation of town and city centres. In 2018 People & Places prepared new national guidance on revitalising town centres for the Local Government Association. These resources focus on helping local authorities and their partners to develop a ‘Forward Framework’ focusing on the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ of town centre revitalisation. The process that will be applied here has four key elements though the initial focus is on the first two: • Analysis of existing strategies & stakeholders • Town centre baseline survey • Stakeholder engagement and partnership development • Mentoring town centre action planning The purpose of the report is understanding issues faced by Framlingham town centre and future priorities for sustaining and enhancing the town’s vitality and viability. It is intended to inform future partnership work and project development between public bodies, private businesses and community groups. The Process The People & Places Town Centre Baseline Survey process has been developed to address the real issues of how to understand measure, evaluate and ultimately improve town centres. The approach offers a simple way of capturing data on 12 Key Performance Indicators selected by those involved in town centre management. By having the tools to measure performance, strategic decision-making is both encouraged and improved. By considering performance, forward strategies and action planning can be more focused and effective. The Policies & Population District-wide town centres and retail policies The Suffolk Coastal Local Plan sets-out policies focused specifically on maintaining the character and economic functions of town centres. Robust and comprehensive policies are in place that seek to maintain the distinctiveness, historic character and accessibility of resort and market town centres as hubs for shopping, leisure, employment, business, social and cultural activities. This should also make them popular with tourists and visitors from nearby areas within and beyond the district. The Local Plan recognises that government policy and up-to-date evidence highlight that it is important that town centres offer a shopping and social experience that is different to out-of- town or online shopping. Town centres are recognised as the most accessible places for commercial leisure such as entertainment facilities, the more intensive sport and recreation 5 | p age uses (including cinemas, restaurants, drive-through restaurants, bars and pubs, night-clubs, casinos, health and fitness centres, indoor bowling centres, and bingo halls); and arts, culture and tourism development (including theatres, museums, galleries and concert halls, hotels and conference facilities). Framlingham Neighbourhood Plan Framlingham is one of several East Suffolk market towns with a Neighbourhood Plan. Neighbourhood plans provide site and area specific policies for their area and are important in implementing the Local Plan, including contributing to the district’s overall housing requirement. The Framlingham Neighbourhood Plan became part of the Suffolk Coastal Development Plan in 2017. The vision shared in the Local Plan is that by 2036, Framlingham will have continued to be a vibrant, distinctive and prosperous parish with a thriving market town at its heart. The town will have evolved and expanded whilst retaining its unique and distinctive character and providing an outstanding quality of life for current and future generations of local residents and visitors, as well as the inhabitants of the surrounding villages it serves. Although well served by a range of services and facilities, the Local Plan also recognises that a significant increase in infrastructure is required to ensure that Framlingham continues to thrive. The Framlingham Neighbourhood Plan identifies need for additional education provision (including Early Years), expansion of medical facilities, adequate and accessible community and leisure space as well as the need for a large community centre. It is recognised that Framlingham’s historic environment provides both a unique area to visit and acts as a constraint to vehicular movements around the town. The existing road network and car parking opportunities are becoming increasingly under pressure as a result of the increased traffic generated by the recent developments. Over the Local Plan period, actions to mitigate the impact of vehicular movements on the environment will be supported in principal subject to the satisfaction of Suffolk County Council as highways authority. The Population Population data for Framlingham by 5-year age groups indicates that the town has an older profile than typical for the UK. Although a third of the population is under 40 years-old, there is a noticeable dip in the proportion of 20 to 39-year-olds, though a much higher than average percentage of 15 to 19-year-olds. Over 50% of Framlingham’s population are over 50-year-olds. Wellbeing An important part of ensuring that town centres serve as a local community hub is reflecting on how they can contribute to improved local wellbeing. The recently published Being Well Together report sets-out the methodology behind the first UK-wide Community Wellbeing Index created by the Coop and the Young Foundation. Framlingham scores moderately highly in all three aspects of wellbeing relating to ‘place’ and is above the national averages for each of these indicators: • Culture, heritage & leisure • Transport, mobility & connectivity • Housing, space and environment 6 | p age The Place The business data for Framlingham in 2019 indicates that just over half (51%) of businesses in the town centre are shops and that this is comparable with other benchmarked towns nationally. Of other businesses there are a significant number of professional and financial services (13%) as well as restaurants and cafes (10%) and these levels are

This reflects the strategy of the Plan which looks to create two new Garden Neighbourhoods to the north of Felixstowe and the south of Saxmundham, respond to opportunities presented by transport connections, and sustain and enhance the vitality of the rural parts of the District. 12.2 The areas are considered below in Settlement Hierarchy order, following the section on Neighbourhood Plans, as follows: Neighbourhood Plans Approach to Site Allocations Strategy for Felixstowe Strategy for Communities to the East of Ipswich Strategy for Aldeburgh Strategy for Leiston Strategy for Framlingham Strategy for Saxmundham Strategy for Woodbridge Strategy for the Rural Areas Neighbourhood Plans 12.3 Neighbourhood Plans were introduced through the Localism Act 2011 and enable communities to produce their own policies and to allocate sites for development. It is for Town and Parish Councils to decide whether they wish to produce a Neighbourhood Plan and where they do the District Council has a supporting role in the production of the Plan.
