This is an important part of the process as it provides a reality check and enables the aspirations of the brief to be mapped out. In total, six options were considered and these are set out in Appendix 7 of the Sustainability Appraisal. Following that appraisal, a number of options have been discounted and <a class="link2" href="page22_SPD.html">Appendix 1</a> of this brief sets out the three most appropriate scenarios for consideration. The prefered approach that maximises choice and movement through the area is Option A which proved to be the favoured option to emerge during public consultation. The Council, would therefore, strongly encourage new access links to be created in the north and south of the site. This will also help to add relief in the built form and has clear historic and planning relevance to the area. The District Council does, however have reservations about Option C particularly in terms of linkage/ movement to the basins and also in terms of visual dominance. Any designers looking at this option will need to satisfactorily resolve these issues.</span> <p align="center"><img src="images/page19_diagram.jpg" alt="" height="250" width="258" border="0" /><br /> <span class="whiteVsmlTEXT">Restaurants &amp; cafes can further increase vitality</span></p> </td> <td align="center" valign="top">   </td> <td align="left" valign="top" width="30%"><span class="whitesmlheader">10. IMPLEMENTATION</span> <div class="whitesmlTEXT"> <p><span class="whitesmlTEXT">Land assembly will be critical to the delivery of the Council s aspirations to see the site comprehensively developed. However, given the potential complexities associated with this and the need to understand the ambitions and requirements of existing businesses, it is considered necessary to highlight options to facilitate the phased release of land and development. The options described in <a class="link2" href="page22_SPD.html">Appendix 1</a> indicate the possibilities. Working in partnership with others, the District Council will aim to bring forward the comprehensive redevelopment of the site.</span></p> <p>Any proposals for the Bridge Street Basins Link will inevitably have a signifi cant impact on boating interests particularly for the Clock Basin. Section 7 (Vitality and Viability) of this brief places a requirement on any scheme to be accompanied by a waterspace strategy and this is further<br /> supported by Policy V.8 (Waterspace Strategy). Any  strategy must fully consider the needs of the boating community (including residential, visitor and business interests). As with any of the existing businesses operating in the area, it will be critical to understand how the needs and services of those businesses can be satisfactorily accommodated as part of any scheme.</p> <p>Throughout the SPD a number of key expectations and requirements to be subject to...</p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="30%"> </td> <td></td> <td width="30%"></td> <td></td> <td width="30%"></td> </tr> <tr height="2"> <td colspan="5" bgcolor="white" height="2"></td> </tr> <tr height="2"> <td colspan="2" align="left" height="33"><span class="whiteVsmlTEXT">Wyre Forest District Local Development Framework<br /> Bridge Street Basins Link SPD: December 2005</span></td> <td colspan="3" align="right" height="43"><img src="images/control.gif" alt="" height="33" width="300" usemap="#control1635f0d4" border="0" /><map name="control1635f0d4"><area shape="rect" coords="8,7,48,25" href="index.html" alt="" /><area shape="rect" coords="66,6,130,25" href="contents.html" alt="" /><area shape="rect" coords="151,6,212,24" href="page20_SPD.html" alt="" /><area shape="rect" coords="231,4,287,24" href="page22_SPD.html" alt="" /></map></td> </tr> </table></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr height="25%"> <td height="25%"></td> <td height="25%"></td> <td height="25%"></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
