e required unless deficiencies elsewhere in the settlement merit a
combination of on-site and off-site provision.
2.13.2 At the site specific level Policy SHB/1B states the proposals must make
provision for:
(2) An interlinked system of amenity space, cycleways and
footpaths, providing access to adjoining residential areas, the
town centre, the railway station and employment areas;
2.13.3 Further guidance on provision and the requirements arising from
developments are set out in the Council’s Developers Contributions
policies.
2.13.4 In terms of recreational open space then the “Approved Development
Brief” for the wider site from 2003, notes that the “The precise amount,
type and location of any open space will be negotiated between the
developer, the District Council and the Parish Council. Consideration
may also be given to the possibility of some recreation open space
being met through commuted payments to enhance existing open
space, including upgrading or contributing to the maintenance of the
Pasture way recreation area”.
2.13.5 At a regional level, Policy ENV11 of the RSS relates to “Health,
Recreation and Sport” and encourages the provision of new facilities,
the creation of pedestrian and cycle routes.
2.13.6 The NPPF Paragraph 70 states that to deliver the social, recreational
and cultural facilities and services the community needs, planning
policies and decisions should plan positively for the provision and use
of shared space, community facilities (such as local shops, meeting
places, sports venues, cultural buildings, public houses and places of
worship) and other local services to enhance the sustainability of
communities and residential environments.
2.13.7 NPPF Paragraph 73 requires access to high quality open spaces and
opportunities for sport and recreation which can make an important
contribution to the health and well-being of communities.
2.13.8 The indicative layout plan shows some on site provision for recreational
open space, however does not provide the full amount required due to
the site being located immediately adjacent to existing recreational
open space facilities and being accessible to those proposed on the
remainder of the Phase 2 site. As it was envisaged that the site be
developed in a comprehensive manner and the Development Brief
states that a combination of on-site and off-site facilities would be
appropriate the proposals are considered acceptable and the shortfall
would be made up by a contribution which would be secured via a
Section 106 agreement. The Parish Council have confirmed that they
have got ongoing projects which the contribution could be utilised for.
