Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation
Representation ID: 1202

Respondent: Mr. Giles Murray
Agent: Mr. Steve Hayhurst
Representation Summary:
The Council's proposed housing provision would fail to meet its objectively assessed housing needs for the Borough, as required by paragraph 47 of the NPPF. In order to meet it the Council should consider releasing sites on the edge of the larger villages excluded from the Green Belt, including at Herongate. Inspectors' decisions on other local plans strongly suggest that the Council's argument, that it should not have to meet its objectively assessed housing needs because the District is tightly constrained by Green Belt, will not succeed. Nor will it be able to foist its requirement onto neighbouring authorities.
