Recent changes are likely to have a negative impact.

Builders have already started work on the new primary school.

“An area of land in the south-east corner of Frog Valley has been allocated to the construction of a new primary school which, if building does go ahead, will accommodate 300 children”

Land has been 'allocated to the construction' of a school and building may or may not 'go ahead', so work has not started.

The new school will take in children from outside Frog Valley.

“The size and location of the school mean that admission will not be limited to families who live in the area”

Admission 'will not be limited to families who live in the area', so outside children can attend.

There will be an increase in the number of shops.

“Plans are to move all the existing local shops, which are currently located in small groups around the site, into one shopping zone, and this will see the addition of an organic farm shop and a vegan store”

The shopping zone 'will see the addition of an organic farm shop and a vegan store', so shop numbers rise.

The community centre will replace an existing social club building.

“It will provide a much needed meeting place for clubs and societies that, until now, have had to meet wherever they can find a venue”

The community centre provides a meeting place for clubs that 'have had to meet wherever they can find a venue'; no existing club building is replaced.

The swimming pool will be free for residents of Frog Valley.

“The pride of the centre will be a multi-gym with swimming pool - something younger residents have been requesting for some time but that has never been possible, due to cost”

A swimming pool is planned, but the text never says whether Frog Valley residents will use it free.

The office space will accommodate businesses of different sizes.

“Twenty thousand square metres of space will be used to house anything from small startups to large existing local businesses”

Office space will house 'anything from small startups to large existing local businesses', so different sizes are accommodated.

The business car parking area will be underground.

“It will be built to the south-east of the site, with dedicated car parking for office workers, either within each office area or in a single car park”

Parking may be 'within each office area or in a single car park', but the text never says it will be underground.

The health centre will offer a wide range of new services.

“some residents asked if it would be possible to include services such as dentistry and various types of medical testing facilities within the health centre. This would mean adding to the existing building and there are no plans to do this at present”

Adding dentistry and testing facilities would mean extending the building, and 'there are no plans to do this at present', so no wide range of new services.

At present, there are too few doctors at the health centre.

“However, it will be possible to see a doctor at weekends and in the evenings, which is a welcome development”

Weekend and evening doctor appointments are promised, but current doctor numbers are never discussed.
