The site, at High Halstow, would provide a logical and sustainable extension to the east of the village and provide many opportunities for wider integration with nearby services and facilities to support healthy and active living and positive well-being for existing and new residents.

The proposed development will deliver 14 hectares of open space provision, which is more than the requirement based on MC’s adopted standards. The proposals will provide at least or in excess of the requirement across all of the different open space typologies which will make a positive contribution towards encouraging healthy and active lifestyles.

The proposals will encourage healthy lifestyles, through the creation of a legible and walkable neighbourhood (in combination with the existing village). The proposed 2FE primary school, local centre, open spaces, and allotments are all highly accessible and are set within a high quality and attractive new neighbourhood and will be accessible to the existing and new residents.
