Not sure if this is covered under this heading but the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of street furniture (eg lamps and bollards) and drains is quite poor at present.
This is not only unsightly but dangerous and should be included in the plans

In Para 10.34 ensure that the inclusion of routes for equestrians are included. It should be noted that Bridleways are the best-value multi-user path that can be created as they can be legally used by pedestrians, horse riders and cyclists.
Policy 10.5 - Public Realm
We note that in paragraph 10.34 that it is intended that the public realm will encourage walking and cycling. We request that, where practical, the inclusion of equestrians is specified within new developments rather than ignoring this specific user group. It should be noted that Bridleways are the best-value multi-user path that can be created as they can be legally used by pedestrians, horse riders and cyclists. By only creating cycle paths, a large user group (which contributes considerably to the local economy) is ignored, and equestrians are the most un-provided for when it comes to safe off-road riding. Many riders do not venture onto the ever-busy roads because of the volume and speed of traffic - after all over 3000 accidents occur within the UK with horse riders and motor vehicles

The allocation of a new village creates the opportunity of designing public realm as an integral part of the community. Unlike with extensions to existing settlements where the existing public realm is already established and may have been designed and conceived of to serve a limited size of community, the new village, built on principles of garden city design can be sized, located and designed to achieve the appropriate scale and function for a village of an identified scale.
