We agree with the general locations and phasing of residential properties over the plan period, however, in light of the current economic conditions and the need to maintain an adequate five year supply; the policy needs to adopt a flexible approach with regards the timing and release of land for residential development.

In order to ensure flexibility, this policy needs to make reference to Policy H3, in case the locations allocated under Policy H2 do not come forward in the required timeframe or deliver the required number of dwellings.

Fourth Paragraph - amend as follows:

The Council will maintain a flexible approach with regards to the timing of the release of land for residential development to ensure a constant five-year supply of land. If the locations within Policy H2 do not come forward in the required timeframe or deliver the required number of dwellings, then locations with Policy H3 should be brought forward to address this shortfall.
