Dunton Hills Garden Village (DHGV) -

ECC advise that if the DHGV allocation is being proposed as a 'Garden Village' it is recommended that the Garden City principles as outlined in the NPPF (paragraph 52) and the 2013 TCPA's publication "Creating garden cities and suburbs today" are incorporated into the Draft Plan policy to ensure delivery.

Paragraph 67 - This paragraph implies that, at some stage, the Dunton Hills Development is expected to increase from 2500 homes to 3500 homes. It will be important therefore in considering the initial design layout for this development to ensure that sufficient and appropriate access is provided for sustainable modes, to enable it to be served both in the initial and extended scenarios. This will likely mean safeguarding corridors for sustainable modes to traverse between the two phases. However paragraph 84 refers to pupil numbers based on the site accommodating 4000 dwellings as does the narrative for the site on P91.
