Core Strategy Submission Document

Representation ID: 16183

Received: 02/11/2009

Respondent: Pond Chase Nurseries Ltd

Agent: Boyer Planning Ltd

Representation Summary:

We support the proposed extensions to residential envelopes.

The Council intend to maintain a flexible approach on phasing of housing. We would suggest the policy would be made more sound if the indicative housing provision for each settlement were regarded as a approximate figure and that the final housing provision be established through the Allocations development plan document.

For consistency with other policies, including the Regional Spatial Strategy where the housing provision is identified as a minimum figure, Policy H2 should expressly state that the housing provision for each settlement represents the minimum housing provision.
