GIVING PEOPLE THE CHOICE TO TRAVEL BY WAYS OTHER THAN CAR - in particular, improving movement for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users.

VITALITY OF REDBOURN VILLAGE - seeking to retain and improve the vitality of the village, particularly in terms of its shops and services.

COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES - the need to provide for more community activities that will encourage particularly young people and families to stay in Redbourn.

COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY - recognising the potential to grow small-scale businesses through the provision of business space and support.
