(c) to accommodate uses which generate employment opportunities and provide facilities and services that enable people to live and work in the same community, and

(e) to encourage sustainable transport modes for journeys to work and other trips, including walking, cycling and all forms of public transport, and
(f) to limit advertising to a level compatible with the creation of a high-quality mixed-use area.
