MHE4: Community Facilities, Shops and Services
Residential development will be supported by the provision of on site community facilities to meet the needs of new residents. Community facilities will be clustered in a local hub to be located centrally to the development.
The following facilities will be required as a minimum as part of the comprehensive development of Mill Hill East and may vary dependent on the needs arising from development:
- A 2 form entry primary school with playing fields on a site of around 1.7 hectare (in accordance with DCSF & Design Bulletin 99 guidance);
- A GP practice / health centre to accommodate 2-3 GPs serving the new community in line with guidance from the local Primary Care Trust (approximately 500 sq m floorspace).
Contributions will be sought from developers to support the provision of new facilities or the expansion or improvement of existing community facilities to meet the needs of the development. The preparation of a Community Facilities Strategy will be required.
