It is important to clarify the difference between housing targets and zoning.
I want to come back on a number of points and I have another question. With regard to the development contribution, do the balance between community gain versus how much is spent on roads need to be addressed? I note that water is out of it at present. Does this need to be considered to improve? If it is left at the same ratio, does it need to be determined that the roads proportion should be spent more on walking and cycling rather than a big new road to service a development?
