The policy as a whole does not identify any 'plots' and does not identify sufficient 'pitches' for the demand, and in particular, provides no allowance for any issues arising from sites that are allocated but do not come forward for a variety of reasons. As with housing allocations, NPPF Paragraph 47 sets out additional buffers should be incorporated into the plan for housing, and we consider the same should also apply to 'pitches' and 'plots'. We therefore consider that that this paragraph of the draft Local Plan is 'unsound' in respect of both the NPPF and PPTS, in ensuring appropriate provision is planned for. We request the Council provide for such provision, as allocated sites.
