This Policy is considered too restrictive and does not actively encourage housing growth as required by the NPPF. Martin Grant Homes remain concerned with the strategy for housing growth across the Borough which is heavily rely on the development at Dunton and focuses on releasing small number of very large sites from the Green Belt. Should any of these sites are not delivered or developed less than planned it would have significant impact on housing delivery in the Borough.
The Borough is not meeting its current windfall allowance, demonstrated by the current shortfall in housing delivery. The Council is considered unrealistic to expect such high windfall allowance during the Plan period and the Council is urged to review this.
