City Centre Action Plan

Southampton city centre – a great place to do business, visit and live.

The City Centre Action Plan (CCAP) updates the statutory planning framework for the city centre and will be used by the council for deciding planning applications. It sets out how new development can help to upgrade, revitalise and better connect our buildings, streets and public spaces over the next 15 years.

The CCAP sets the framework for protecting the historic and natural environments, tackling climate change and creating an attractive and uplifting place to be, while promoting more offices, shops, homes and leisure facilities. It identifies the improvements in infrastructure required to support this growth to create a city centre we can be proud of.
