6.4 - DEVELOPMENT QUANTUM

Revisions to Spatial Framework Diagram resulted in loss of 1ha of development area following revisions to the structural landscaping on eastern boundary. Reduced net residential area to 86.5ha. Council's calculation of net residential area includes village centre and neighbourhood hub that will incorporate some residential development. At an average net density of 40 dpha overall dwelling capacity is 3,460 units. If sharing sports provision with schools is agreed with LEA, potentially reduce requirement for sports provision by 4-8ha, increasing net development area, facilitating a lower net density or increase in capacity.

Essential to secure principle of dual use of sports provision within schools in order to provide flexibility in density and capacity and broaden the overall potential range of house types. Particularly important given overall relatively long timescale involved in delivering the project and in order to respond to future changes in market and economic conditions.

Figure 57 indicative land use budget refers to 'Net Area'. In relation to schools this should be gross area.
