The overall strategy as set out by CDC in the plan is highly dependent on the delivery of housing from Neighbourhood Plan areas. Whilst this approach is not un-sound in itself, it is considered that the plan in its current form allows for little mitigation or alternatives should delivery not come forward in the neighbourhood plan areas. It is considered that in order to be ‘effective’ and ‘positively prepared’ the Local Plan should also allocate the sites in Wisborough Green as stand-alone applications with an allowance that applications could come forward on these sites in the event that the
Neighbourhood Plans do not progress
In order for the plan to be considered ‘positively prepared’ and ‘justified’ it is recommended that additional wording is added to policy H3 to state that individual planning applications can come forward on sustainable sites outside of existing settlement boundaries in parishes should delivery not come forward within the first 2 years of the plan period. Priority should be given to any sites already identified within draft versions of Neighbourhood Plans. This is inclusive of the proposed Tanglewood Nursery site at Wisborough Green.
