Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
We are supportive of the majority of the Policy H1 and believe it to be sound as it has acknowledged the need to develop in the Green Belt adjacent to urban boundaries. However it is questionable on the evidence whether the site at Stambridge Mills is sustainable or deliverable. The inclusion of this site as an identified area for development is unsound as there is no evidence to assert it will be deliverable because of flood risk. The non delivery of this site will place an increased demand for housing allocation which should be recognised in H2
