HC2 clause 3

The East of Lutterworth SDA proposes to allocate a portion of a land for a replacement indoor sports centre for the town. It will be accessible to a large proportion of the population by walking, cycling or public transport. Therefore, given that this facility will serve the entirety of the town, it is suggested that criterion 3 of HC2 is revised to ensure that proposals will be acceptable that are accessible to the majority of the community by means other than a private car rather than solely by pedestrian routes.
The East of Lutterworth SDA proposes to allocate a portion of a land for a replacement indoor sports centre for the town, as the existing facility is at capacity with limited opportunity for quantitative and qualitative improvements. It will be accessible to a large proportion of the population by walking, cycling or public transport. Therefore, given that this facility will serve the entirety of the town, it is suggested that criterion 3 of HC2 is revised to ensure that proposals will be acceptable that are accessible to the majority of the community by means other than a private car rather than solely by pedestrian routes. This would be more in accordance with Sport England guidance on new sports provision which recognises differing catchment distance based on transport mode.

CC1 clause 1c

The aims and objectives of policy CC1 are supported; however it is considered that it goes beyond national planning policy and the requirements of the national housing standards. The policy as written could be open to wide interpretation which could hamper growth. It is also suggested that a clause that gives specific consideration to viability is inserted.

Development should ensure that modern, electronic communications are provided or able to be provided on site, where it is viable to do so. This should be explicit within the policy. In addition, it may not be appropriate or necessary to implement all 3 types of infrastructure specified in criteria 1 - 3 (broadband, duct network or mobile solutions). Furthermore, new technologies may come on stream over those specified in the policy. Additional flexibility should be added to the policy to reflect this.

With respect to criterion 2, whilst both considerations of feasibility and practicality are important (albeit broadly having the same meaning) neither address the potential effect grey water and rainwater harvesting systems may have on viability of a development proposal. It is also unclear whether overall viability of this policy has been tested. In addition, consideration should be given to the environmental impact of any proposal on the water cycle, and ecology of an area.
