CS3: Amount and Distribution of Non-Residential Development 2006 - 2026
New commercial development, including additional retail floorspace, and additional employment floorspace (primarily on existing employment sites), will be focused in the four main centres for growth. There is likely to be some additional employment at the MDS site at Chalfont Grove and very limited new employment in rural areas where buildings are converted (see Policy CS19). New leisure, community and health facilities (some on existing B Use Class sites) would be largely in the four main centres for growth. Specialist housing under Policy CS12 will also be largely in the four main centres for growth. Medical facilities and specialist residential and nursing homes might also be developed on the MDS site, the National Society for Epilepsy at Chalfont St Peter.
We will measure the success of this policy with the following indicators:
- Amount and location of new retail, leisure and industrial floorspace created
- Improving position of the District Shopping Centres in the national retail indices
- Views of local revitalisation groups
Delivery will be achieved via:
- Development projects
- Proactive work by the Council and stakeholders
