The quote within the Emerging Local Plan refers to 'local centre' rather than District Centre. The SPD needs to ensure it quotes the Local Plan accurately. Suggest it is the Local Plan that is amended through a modification to provide a more accurate description of Mitcham Corner's status amongst the designated centres.
It is not considered that the aim to 'ensure new development promotes healthy and active lifestyles' relates to the theme 'creating a connected place'. Suggest that this final aim is removed.
Suggest 'residential' is inserted to the third bullet under Theme 2 so that it reads 'Facilitate the delivery of high quality new residential development within the area to help sustain a catchment population for the District Centre'. Since the aim is specifically referencing the need to sustain a catchment population, it is evident that only residential development would apply to this aim. The proposed amendment would clarify this point.
Also Change 'physical' to 'physically' so that it reads 'Promote measures to physically green the area...' at Theme 3.
