Oadby Town Centre Masterplan Area Action Plan
This page provides information about the master plan for Oadby, including relevant links and documents.
The Forward Plans team are creating masterplans for both Oadby and Wigston town centres. These will set out clear planning frameworks for the future of the centres, including strategies for transport, public realm and design, as well as detailed development guidance on a number of key sites which will inform future decisions on development proposals and planning applications. This page sets out details of the Oadby Town Centre Masterplan and links to the document.
Oadby has a niche role as a district centre serving its local population, with a high proportion of independent retailers. Although it sits in close proximity to Leicester, it offers a complementary rather than competing role; competition comes more from nearby Wigston and Fosse Shopping Park.
The town centre is clearly an important provider of local services – with banks, solicitors, and estate agents in plentiful numbers. The Parade is clearly an attraction for these uses, especially at its western end, although such uses do not necessarily contribute to the vibrancy of the shopping experience.
The team are preparing an area action plan (AAP) for Oadby town centre. The master plans are being created by Taylor Young in conjunction with BE Group and Halcrow.
