EWC4: Supporting Community Facilities
All new development will be required to make provision for the proposed improved and additional community facilities. Particular locations or reserve sites to accommodate new/improved community facilities are identified in figure 1.
Development proposals in identified opportunity sites should not put at risk the ability to deliver the following facilities:
- Retention of the Civic Centre with future potential for intensification of public services and civic activities (opportunity site 3)
- Relocated fire station (opportunity site 4)
- New education facility and associated community use (opportunity site 10)
- A new health facility (opportunity site 4 / opportunity site 3)
Financial contributions will be sought from new development to deliver the following facilities:
- Improvements to Maxwell Park
- A new 2FE Primary School (opportunity site 7)
- New and/or enhanced open / civic space including around the war memorial
- A new health facility (opportunity site 4 / opportunity site 3)
Direct financial contributions through s106 agreements are only sought for a new school, as set out in Policy EWC9. Improvements to Maxwell Park, new open space and the new health facility will be considered for funding via the Community Infrastructure Levy once appropriate schemes have been identified.
