But, I am not happy with the quality/resolution of the map. I then set the maxResolution property of the map from 0.73 to 1. That didn’t help me either. Is there anything else I should do to improve it’s quality ? The same WMS direct call results in a high quality map from my server.

Remove the width, height, and bbox from your URL. then change your map creation to:

 Map('map', {
	maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(545130525,258147752,546437807,259455034)
        maxResolution: 5000
 });

Your Layer URL should then look like:

  "http://localhost:8080/gss/ogc?version=1.3.0&crs=sw:uk_british_national_grid_mm"

Does the behavior improve?
