This is reflected in a value-banded lot structure within each area: - Micro - 1-5 units - Small - 6-15 units - Medium - 16 - 49 units - Large - 50+ units The framework also provides for the delivery of associated community buildings to residential developments (such as hubs and sporting facilities e.g. meeting places, health and care centres, recreational facilities and libraries). Plus, any associated commercial facilities such as car parks and retail units.
