Community uses in residential areas

Community facilities such as centres, health facilities, nurseries and educational facilities may be appropriate within residential areas when scaled appropriately and accessible, in accordance with community infrastructure policy CI1.

There are a range of community uses that may be appropriate and necessary, in principle, within residential areas, such as community centres, health facilities, nurseries or educational facilities. In accordance with the SPPS, policy RET2 seeks to direct some such facilities to nearby service centres in the first instance. Such facilities located within established residential areas could contribute towards sustainable communities when appropriate in scale and are accessible, delivered in accordance with our community infrastructure policy CI1.
