BHL14 Social Infrastructure

To secure a sustainable pattern of development:

A) sites BHL2 South and BHL3 (see Section 4: Opportunity Sites) will be protected for education use in the medium to long term to meet increased demand as population in the area grows;

B) we will work with health providers and developers to secure the provision of a new GP and dental practice within site BHL1, BHL4 or BHL6 (see Section 4: Opportunity Sites);

C) The Tryst Public House and Standard Music Venue will be retained or re-provided as part of the redevelopment of site BHL1 (see Section 4: Opportunity Sites), as an important social facility;

D) a new community meeting space will be provided as part of the development of site BHL7 (see Section 4: Opportunity Sites)

E) additional community uses and social infrastructure will be supported as part of mixed use developments on opportunity sites, where there are no overriding concerns in terms of neighbour amenity;

F) developer contributions will be sought to support the provision of new, or expansion and maintenance of existing social infrastructure;

G) the net loss of key social infrastructure in new developments will be resisted.
