Support amendment to include reference to the Stevenage Mobility Strategy and its hierarchy.
Whilst the detail added in relation to the level of primary school provision required is welcomed, the text proposed in the second line of this paragraph requires amendment in line with HCC's updated advice (on the planning application for the adjoining Stevenage site) that the two sites should have separate schools of 2FE and not one larger co-located school. This is also in line with our comments on MM068.
Support the addition of further detail in relation to GP provision on this site.
Support the addition of further detail in relation to retail needs. However, the replacement of the word 'could' with the word 'should' in the first line of this paragraph would be more reflective of the evidence base that demonstrates a definite need for this A-class floorspace to be provided. We would request the second sentence of this paragraph 'Equally it is recognised....' is removed. Sites cannot rely on infrastructure that is 'proposed' on other sites to come forward in order to mitigate its impact.
