Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 1807

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Heaver Homes Ltd

Agent: King & Co c/o ATP

Representation Summary:

Policy S5 is drafted to identify residual Parish requirements having regard for strategic allocations. If a strategic allocation were to fail to be delivered or would realise a lower yield, this mechanism would provide no opportunity to deliver those latent requirements in other sustainable locations within the Parish boundary.

This is a fatally flawed approach. The policy should be restructured to identify the Parish requirement (i.e. 1300 for Tangmere) and then say that this amount is proposed to be delivered on an allocation site. In the event that the allocation under-delivers, then consideration should be given to alternate locations.
