Representation Summary:

CS10 defines issues which should be left to subsequent planning stages, e.g. amounts of land uses that will be delivered. This is inflexible and fails to provide for the planning application process whereby such amounts will be resolved through detailed master planning. Thresholds in Table 8B also cause concern ahead of testing through the application process. This approach has been accepted by the Borough in respect of highways and transport so should be extended to other infrastructure. It is premature to establish arbitrary targets and thresholds in the absence of any such applications.
