Draft Local Plan

Recommended that the supply of sites is re-considered because the sites set out in Policy 5.2 are not deliverable over the plan period and therefore would not achieve the housing target. This means that assuming there is no change to the housing target, sites to deliver an additional 1,500 new dwellings must be identified.
Recommended that a 10% discount for non-delivery is applied to extant permissions, permitted development and windfall allowance. During the plan period only 50% of the strategic site can reasonably be expected to be delivered reducing supply from this source to 1,250 units.
Therefore recommended that the site at Sawyers Hall Lane is added to the Greenfield Urban Extensions in Green Belt sites to help meet the housing target. The Draft Local Plan should be positively prepared and the housing sites set out in Policy 5.2 must be effective.
