To protect the attractive characteristics of Bridport’s main shopping areas, it is necessary to conserve the vitality and interest of the street scene. This is achieved by protecting the collective and individual qualities of shopfronts, while equally recognising modern retail needs. This neighbourhood plan considers that these two demands are compatible. Using sensitive design and careful attention to detail, a shop can promote its image through its unique quality.
