These considerations include existing structures, established commercial premises, conservation areas, and flooding constraints. It is important to recognise Kendal’s established high-end manufacturing and engineering businesses alongside its thriving food and service industries, which play a vital role in the town’s economy. The study therefore explores a sensitive, incremental approach to introducing more residential uses into the town centre. Where commercial or employment buildings are replaced, provision is made either on the same site or relocated to a more suitable edge-of-town location. OPPORTUNITY SITES
