VISION
Thame must maintain its character
as a real market town
• Continue to feel ‘compact’
• Continue to have a close relationship with open countryside around it
• Retain its markets
• Continue to act as a centre for the surrounding area, not just residents
• Remain attractive to residents and visitors

SAMPLE OBJECTIVE
“Support Thame’s Shops”
The best way to support Thame’s shops is to focus new
retail development in the town centre. Other ways of
supporting retail are to make sure people live and work
in the town centre. This can be done by supporting
employment and encouraging residential uses, especially
above shops.
