Strategic Policy 5: Community Infrastructure - Development Linkages and Major Residential
New development must facilitate accessibility to community infrastructure and healthy lifestyles; major residential development must support active travel, reduce private car use, provide public open space, demonstrate quality design, and promote sustainable neighbourhoods.
The Council will also expect new development proposals to facilitate and improve linkages and accessibility to local community infrastructure and help maximise opportunities to promote healthy and active lifestyles. Major residential development proposals will be expected to support active travel options, encourage the reduction in use of the private car, provide adequate public open space, demonstrate high quality design and promote balanced communities and the creation of sustainable neighbourhoods.
