We suspect that generally speaking there will need to be an incremental improvement of social infrastructure provision to meet the requirements of occupants of new developments over the plan period. This should inform the identification of sites and the review of the Growth Network. Sites that can be delivered and take advantage of existing social infrastructure should be prioritised for allocation above sites that have significant infrastructures required. In short, development should be favoured where it has good access to a range of services and facilities.
