Agree that new employment development be directed to existing settlements in the first instance. Ensures employment development located at most sustainable locations, reducing vehicle journeys and carbon emissions created through commuters, freight or customers to employment sites. Carbon impact of employment related road travel can be reduced eg through electric vehicles and 'last mile' freight journeys.
Setting clear mitigation requirements will ensure new developments don't exacerbate health risks, particularly in vulnerable communities. Support designing new developments to improve environmental quality, rather than relying on mitigation afterwards. Will the Councils be able to assess pollution impacts consistently and hold developers accountable?

Planning for new communities should include provision/capacity for care homes and other types of supported housing, to allow for people who grow to be part of their community to not have to face relocating elsewhere when the time comes that they need care.
Why are only one and 2 bed affordable homes required to meet minimum space standards (NDSS) and not all of them? Under 16s are still expected to share in 3 and 4 bed properties.
