15 FUTURE LAND USE PLAN OVERVIEW The recommendations of each of the preceding chapters can be combined to present an overall Future Land Use Plan for Colchester. The Future Land Use Plan is a reflection of the stated goals, objectives, and recommendations of the Plan as well as an integration of the preceding elements of the Plan of Conservation & Development. In essence, the Future Land Use Plan is a statement of what the Colchester of tomorrow should look like. Conservation Areas Development Areas 110
