SL1: Health and Wellbeing

The Council is supportive of development that promotes community facilities and provides access to cultural experiences. The Council also supports development proposals which take opportunities to assist people of all ages and backgrounds living, working and relaxing in Runnymede to lead healthy lifestyles and improve quality of life.

New major development should:

  • Encourage people to take physical exercise by providing opportunities for walking, cycling, outdoor recreation and sport;
  • Promote opportunities for recreation and social interaction.

In residential led schemes, opportunities should also be taken where possible to allow residents to grow their own food.
