Representation Summary:

Object on grounds that: Council has not presented evidence on how HEDNA identified need will be met from windfall development; Council should examine whether there are opportunities to meet demand for self-build plots through the disposal of its own sites or by working with landowners to bring forward specific sites that will be able to provide plots; Council to recognise within policy that it is not always feasible for large sites deliver self-build plots - development of single plots by individuals operating on sites poses both practical and health & safety concerns, plots could be left empty or unfinished detrimental to other homeowners on site; whilst some sites may be able to locate self-build plots to reduce risks, on others it will not be possible.

Change suggested by respondent:

If the Council justifies the requirement for strategic sites to provide plots for self-build housing we would suggest the phrase where feasible is included.
