Inspector's Schedule of Modifications

Leave policy as is

There are ways to ensure no on street parking. I.e. design, red routes and car
bans. So, this modification is unacceptable

The wording in italics should be replaced with 'before any houses are sold'

See below

Replace ‘serve’ with 'directly serve'.

See below

‘Ensure’ is stronger policy and should remain.

This modification weakens policy.

This modification should be removed.

Modal shift has been set. it is for the developer to achieve this, not say new
evidence proves it’s impossible. Otherwise, what is the point of the DPD policy in the first
place?.

New transport assessment should not have the power to undermine the modal
shift targets or the full build out of the link road before any houses are sold. Additionally the illustrative note in the DPD needs to be removed and land uses should be set via policy.

Location of land uses should be defined by the local authorities in the DPD and not by the developer in a planning
application otherwise it renders the DPD as completely ineffective as a policy document on which applications can be determined.

This modification should also specify off-site improvements to health provision
until the needs of new residents can be met on site. Additionally, the strategy outlines
unmet provision for sports provision local off site which should be met by the contractor as
part of any 106 agreement.

This modificaion is inadequate.

The line beginning – ‘A new Health and Wellbeing Hub’ should have the words
‘to be provided in the early phases of development’ reinstated. Additionally, this
modification should state that an onsite dentist practice, that provides NHS spaces for
new and all existing residents, should be included in the first phase of development.

This doesn't achieve the objectives set out in the reasoning ie it does not guarantee a doctors surgery on site.

Proposals for University/shared sports facilities should be accompanied by
‘Community Use Statement/Plan’ to be agreed by the authorities and which must be
approved as part of any planning permission granted and secured by way of a Community
Use Agreement through an appropriate legal agreement.

The modification as it stands is inadequate.

So long as the authorities want to call this a Garden Community it should align with their principles. Therefore it should be Infrastructure first, and the schools should be delivered in line with house building and not post
occupation.

This is completely unacceptable and undermines the principles of a garden
community.
