Bury MBC recognises that decisions about where to invest, shop and live are not simply based on the availability of infrastructure, but also on the attractiveness of the Borough’s environment. Public Art has a vital role in enhancing the quality of the environment and can make a major contribution to the visual quality and character of our towns and villages. It can contribute to developing civic pride and create an enhanced sense of community identity, elements that are essential to securing the vitality and viability required within the local environment. This Development Control Policy Guidance Note, therefore, expands the Council’s planning policy in respect of Public Art as set out in Policy EN1/6 of the Bury UDP (see Appendix 1 for details) and offers advice on the implications of its implementation.
