Paragraph 6.3 omits to reference the emergency services as one of the infrastructure types that new development puts pressure on. This has the potential to undermine support for the delivery of required emergency services infrastructure, where this is required to ensure sustainable development.

As explained at length elsewhere in our representations and as recognised in the Council's 'Draft Infrastructure Delivery Plan - April 2014', new development can place considerable pressure on the police and emergency services. This point is evidenced by the recent representations we have been submitting to major planning applications for housing development in the District, which are enclosed in Appendices 1-5 of these representations. Further evidence is provided by the letter from our consultants WYG, enclosed in Appendix 6.
