(ii) the development is to be carried out on a site having an area <strong>of</strong> 0.5 hectare or<br />

involving complex listed building or conservation issues; and telecommunications<br />
proposals for composite proposals for 10 or more sites.<br />
Major town centres: Characteristic <strong>of</strong> inner London, are also important shopping<br />
and service centres, <strong>of</strong>ten with a borough-wide catchment. Their attractiveness for<br />
retailing is derived from a mix <strong>of</strong> both comparison and convenience shopping. Some<br />
Major centres, which have developed sizeable catchment areas, also have some<br />
leisure and entertainment functions. Major centres normally have over 50,000 square<br />
metres <strong>of</strong> retail floorspace.<br />
Microclimate: is local atmospheric zone where the climate differs from the surrounding<br />
area<br />
Mixed-use development: provision <strong>of</strong> a mix <strong>of</strong> complementary uses, such as<br />
residential, community and leisure uses, on a site or within a particular area.<br />
Mixed tenure: to have a mix <strong>of</strong> social and private housing.<br />
Mode share: the percentage <strong>of</strong> trips made using a particular type <strong>of</strong> transport e.g.<br />
bicycles<br />
Night-time uses: Any cultural or social activities which take place after dusk.<br />
Open Space: all space <strong>of</strong> public value, including public s<strong>of</strong>t and hard landscaped<br />
areas, parks and playing fields, and also including areas <strong>of</strong> water such as rivers, lakes<br />
and reservoirs, which can <strong>of</strong>fer opportunities for sport and recreation or can also act<br />
as a visual amenity and a haven for wildlife.<br />
Permeability: The degree to which people can easily moved through a place.<br />
Planning Obligations: Planning obligations are contributions from developers, either<br />
in the form <strong>of</strong> physical works and / or financial payments to fulfil a range <strong>of</strong> functions,<br />
including to mitigate the impact <strong>of</strong> a development and to make development acceptable<br />
in planning terms. Planning obligations may be agreed through a unilateral agreement<br />
or legal agreement, under Section 106 <strong>of</strong> the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.<br />
Revised provisions for planning obligations are under discussion, and there has been<br />
a consultation on a Community Infrastructure Levy, which may operate alongside the<br />
provisions <strong>of</strong> Section 106.<br />
Planning Policy Statement (PPS): National policy documents setting out the<br />
Government's national policies on aspects <strong>of</strong> planing in England.<br />
Proposals map: The adopted proposals map illustrates the policy and proposal site<br />
boundaries referred to in the Core Strategy. It will be revised as each new <strong>Development</strong><br />
Plan is adopted, and it should always reflect the up-to-date planning strategy for the<br />
area.<br />
