Richborough notes that there are concerns over the availability of amenities and services in existing towns and neighbourhoods in the southern and eastern suburban areas. It should be ensured that any emerging residential allocation can appropriately and viably mitigate for additional pressures on existing services, such as schools and doctors. The cost of providing new schools and doctors services is likely to require financial contributions from a significant number of residential developments; Richborough is of the view that the ability of the unconstrained land in the suburban area to generate sufficient funds for these required amenities should be assessed.
