Support the continued inclusion of Policy R25 that confirms the Land north of Woollard Way as an appropriate site for residential development.
Also support proposed modification to increase approximate number of homes from 30 to 40 which reflects discussions during the hearing sessions to target densities and consistency with National Policy.
Detailed wording relating to access, pedestrian and cycle links, and open space are supported, as is the inclusion of references to other policies within the Plan.
Reference to financial contributions being made to off-site highways infrastructure improvements is acknowledged and in accordance with draft Policy BE08.
The amended delivery trajectory is considered realistic.
The requirement for a proportion of affordable housing to be reserved for people who can demonstrate a strong local connection, or are over the age of 50, has been removed from the policy. However, reference to this provision seems to be retained in the supporting text at paragraph 9.198. With work with the Council on the best approach to delivering necessary provision.
