Community Benefit
A scheme such as this has the ability to generate significant community benefits. These can include;
- Delivery of new family homes will help to sustain existing schools, shops and use of services
- New family homes can increase demand for other services such as public transport
- The development can create employment opportunities in the short term via construction; this can in turn generate expenditure in local shops and cafes etc. In the longer term, new families will increase locally available expenditure to support local businesses, schools and services
- There is an opportunity through the development of the site to deliver improved and additional play park and other community facilities within the site.
This consultation offers the opportunity for the community to influence the proposals for the site, taking into account any community needs and aspirations.
