VIEWS are being sought on how Bournemouth town centre should be developed in the future.

Consultation on the draft town centre development design guide will run until Monday, December 8.

Local residents, businesses, planners, architects and developers can have their say on the guide and the policies it contains on design and quality.

Cllr David Smith, cabinet member for planning and environment, said: “Good design in the town centre will contribute positively to building a better Bournemouth.

“As new sites for development are allocated throughout the town centre this draft design guide presents the opportunity to promote high quality, sustainable building in Bournemouth.”

The documents are online at Bournemouth.gov.uk/towncentreguide and hard copies are at the town centre library and the customer services centre in St Stephen’s Road.
