Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 1784

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Heaver Homes Ltd

Agent: King & Co c/o ATP

Representation Summary:

Settlement boundaries can be redrawn in the light of exceptional circumstance during Plan Review. The strategic allocations proposed demonstrate that.

It is unclear how Policy S24 is being applied in respect of the AL site-based allocation proposals. The Settlement Boundary Review Background Paper provides no effective framework for the reconsideration of boundaries and what intrinsic sensitivity exists and capacity for change. Paragraph 5.42 refers to a study that would inform that analysis. That Study is necessary to inform this Preferred Approach consultation, and decisions on countryside boundaries should be delayed until this is available and can be subject of consultation.
