On a broader, strategic and residential land availability level , having regard to the requirements of the NPPF there would be advantage in adding another medium sized (around 70 units) site to the range included in Figure 7.2. As drafted, the plan is heavily reliant on sites with over 200 dwellings, in particular the Dunton Garden Village and Officer's Meadow allocations. It is submitted that delivery to satisfy the NPPF would be assisted by rather more provision of smaller sites. This would be smaller than almost all of the presently listed Greenfield Green Belt sites and could be brought forward and delivered rapidly without major infrastructure commitment. Flexibility would be added to the plan's capacity to meet assessed housing need.
