Policies H1 and H2 recognise the importance of ensuring the supporting infrastructure, particularly for larger sites, is comprehensively planned. However, Appendix H1 is vague in defining what level of highway capacity or public transport improvements would need to be provided before a particular development would be allowed to proceed. The policies should explicitly require the comprehensive plans to demonstrate that proposed infrastructure and service improvements are sufficient to ensure no reduction in the amenity available to existing residents and that those responsible for delivering the infrastructure are committed to delivery.
