Representation Summary:

Whilst generally supportive of the objectives of this policy, in order for the Plan to be sound, there should be an explicit recognition that, on high density sites within the IP-One Area, and particularly along the Waterfront, it won't be possible to make full provision for private, and public, open space, in accordance with the Council’s standards. Open space is a ‘land hungry’ use and, if developments have to meet full standards, densities will be greatly reduced. Could threaten achievement of the Council’s spatial strategy and result in new development not making the best/most effective use of previously developed sites.

Change suggested by respondent:

Include reference within policy that "on high density sites within the IP-One Area, and particularly along the Waterfront, it won't be possible to make full provision for private, and public, open space, in accordance with the Council’s standards."
