A mix as this creates a better community with a variety of ages and backgrounds.

Yes. HMO's can put disproportionate pressure onto local neighbours, parking provision and noise, which can lead to conflict.
Maintaining a high quality of HMO's is essential to ensure the safety of the residents therein, as well as neighbouring properties. This should be reflected in policy DM14.

A balance between the principles of Secured By Design, sustainable development and good architectural design.

Please refer to comments on DM8 above where greater emphasis is given to security in order to protect heritage assets as risk of damage through criminal behaviour. Also to ensure anyone living or working in such buildings is afforded the flexibility on security to ensure that inhabiting the building is viable, to prevent empty buildings which often then become a target for criminal and anti-social behaviour.

As previously described, this should be on the edge of housing areas - but close enough for young people to be safe and subject to some natural surveillance.
Young people in the area, as well as those working with them , should be consulted at the time of any proposals to ascertain which facilities are required by that community.
Design Out Crime Officers should also be consulted at the earliest opportunity.

Older people can be more vulnerable than other members of the community, therefore any purpose built accommodation must be built to SBD standards.
Design Out Crime Officer advice should be sought prior to planning purpose built accommodation to ensure that it is not located in known crime hotspots where a disproportionate level of distress may be caused to residents.

Provide more park and ride options (ie re-open Bury Rd, even if only for peak periods).
