Volume 1 Written Statement

10.354 Neighbourhood Development Sites are sites which are considered to have the potential to provide local benefit to the local neighbourhood and act as catalyst developments, if developed appropriately and to their potential. Many of these sites could benefit from active land management during the Plan period. These Neighbourhood Development Sites are illustrated through accessible maps which include site details and a series of icons which are explained in the icon description key. Each icon reflects site specific considerations which should be considered in drafting development proposals for these sites. The icons are solely a guide (and are not exhaustive) of planning factors to be addressed in submitting a planning application. 10.355 Potential densities provided are the minimum range informed by the Urban Densities, Building Heights and Tall Buildings Strategy. In most cases, higher

densities will be encouraged due to the specific location or context of the site, e.g. proximity to public transport routes. 10.356 Pre-application consultations with Development Management will clarify site requirements in more detail. Where adjoining sites become available, these can be considered as part of the overall development. Each of these sites will require careful design consideration to incorporate: 1. place making, 2. easy, safe and welcoming environments to move around, 3. sustainable and active travel, and 4. local services and amenities.
