  4. Mixed-tenure homes and housing types that are genuinely affordable.
  5. A wide range of local jobs in the Garden City within easy commuting
    of homes.
  6. Beautifully and imaginatively designed homes with gardens, combining
    the best of town and country to create healthy communities, and including
    opportunities to grow food.
  7. Development that enhances the natural environment, providing a
    comprehensive green infrastructure network and net biodiversity gains,
    and that uses zero-carbon and energy-positive technology to ensure
    climate resilience.
  8. Strong cultural, recreational and shopping facilities in walkable, vibrant,
    sociable neighbourhoods.

    public transport designed to be the most attractive forms of local
    transport.
