Draft Local Plan

The achievement of this policy aim will be easier as part of a master planned self-sustaining new garden village than in a series of extensions to existing villages.
We suggest the addition of "market signals" in the first sentence of the final paragraph of the policy so that it reads:
"The final housing mix, type and tenure will be subject to negotiation, account will be taken of the nature, constraints, character and context of the site, market signals and development viability".
CEG also express some concern about the policy's statement about the provision of a minimum of 5% self build properties. In the case of Dunton Garden Village this would translate to a minimum of 175 properties of a type which remain unproven. The provision of self build properties and their integration into the new community should be assessed at the time of application and subject to the suggested considerations above.
