Objection related to the Council's new requirement that the phasing of development of Horndon Estate referred to in appendix 2.
The Council has two incompatible positions in respect of phasing the housing delivery on the Horndon Estate:
- The first is the housing contribution of the Horndon Estate identified as part of the current 5 year housing land supply
- The second is set out in the latest draft LDP, where appendix 2 shows the housing coming forward in the medium term i.e. after 5 years.
Our client has been working for some time on a planning application for the redevelopment of Horndon Estate. The new phasing requirement set out in the draft LDP does not appear to be underpinned by any assessment/ evidence and is unjustified. Consequently, our client objects to this policy and appendix 2.
