Key Principles • To ensure that the Proposed Development responds and relates to its context with a well-considered masterplan; • To locate new built development within an extensive green infrastructure framework which conserves existing habitats and also delivers ecological and recreational enhancements through new landscape habitats and areas of open space; • To create a connected layout of functional and well-designed streets which provide safe movement for all users with a particular emphasis on the ease of movement for pedestrians and cyclists; • To establish a high quality residential environment of attractive streets that are overlooked and enclosed by buildings; • To include a broad range and mix of new dwellings that allow for modern living with the provision of affordable housing, ‘starter’ homes, larger family dwellings and potential retirement living/extra care; • To deliver the necessary infrastructure to support the development through either on-site provision or a financial contribution, as required, to matters including education, public open space, public transport, health and sports facilities.
