If your proposed development is in or near a town centre, you will need to submit a plan that shows:
- the impact a development would have on the area’s liveliness, operation and travel demand
- the need for development
- the development is of a suitable scale
- there are no similar developments in the area - if a similar development exists, show your development will have no major impact
- the development is accessible
- how employment and training opportunities would improve
- how services and facilities would improve
- the positive effects on disadvantaged communities
The evidence and analysis needed will be proportionate to the nature of the proposal.
