guidance to coordinate growth. The SPD will help to make
Blackfriars Road a destination where people want to live,
work and visit. Once adopted, the SPD will be an important
consideration when planning applications are decided in the
area. This workshop will give you an opportunity to hear
about the document and to discuss the issues that it covers.
