Received: 17/03/2023

Respondent: Kirdford Parish Council

Agent: Troy Planning + Design

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Text should clarify process/mechanism for “some flexibility for minor amendments to housing numbers for individual parishes”; what is meant by ‘flexibility’ and ‘minor amendments’? Does this text mean to say ‘neighbourhood areas’ rather than ‘individual parishes’?
Disagree with text that proposes development of less than 6 dwellings not counting against ‘parish housing requirement’ due to these already being taken into account as windfall allowance from small sites - see attachment for reasoning; Paragraph contravenes NPPF Paragraph 70 which states that neighbourhood planning groups should consider opportunities for small and medium sites rather than reject them as CDC is suggesting;

Change suggested by respondent:

Text should clarify process/mechanism for “some flexibility for minor amendments to housing numbers for individual parishes”; Policy should clarify what is meant by 'draft neighbourhood plan'; define 'demonstrable progress'.
