The provided maps illustrate the current layout of Islip town centre and the proposed changes for its future development. Overall, the plan indicates a major restructuring of the town's infrastructure, shifting from a through-road system to a pedestrian-focused centre surrounded by a ring road.
Currently, the town centre is bisected by a main road, with shops located on both sides and housing areas situated to the south. A park is located in the southeast, while a school is positioned in the southwest. The northern part of the area is bordered by countryside.
Under the planned development, the main road will be replaced by a dual carriageway that encircles the town centre. Within this loop, the current shopping area will be converted into a pedestrian-only zone. New facilities, including a bus station, a shopping centre, and a car park, will be constructed in the northern section of this enclosed area. Furthermore, the residential capacity will be expanded with the addition of new housing units, while the existing park and school will remain in their current locations. These changes suggest a move towards a more organised and traffic-free commercial hub.
