  7. A two form of entry primary school;
  8. Landscaped open space; and

A section 106 agreement will accompany a future planning permission and proportionate contributions will be allocated to priorities within the Infrastructure Delivery Plan.

Cheshunt Lakeside is to be developed in accordance with a comprehensive master plan. Incremental development of the area will be resisted.

The Council will work in partnership with Natural England, the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority and the developers of Cheshunt Lakeside to agree a mitigation strategy containing a range of on site and off site measures to mitigate the effect of the development on the qualifying interests of the Lee Valley Special Protection Area. The mitigation strategy will be in place by the time of grant of any planning permission for the development. Proposals must also satisfy the requirements set out in Policy NEB2: Wildlife Sites.

If necessary, compulsory purchase will be pursued by the Council.
