Representation Summary:

The part of the policy in relation to residential development is unjustified. The policy requires that developments of 15 dwellings or more provide at least 10% of the area, or 15% in higher density schemes, as public green space. In view of the Council's inability to meet its OAN in full, and because there is no plan to provide for these unmet needs elsewhere, we consider that this policy requirement is unjustified.
