Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 18408

Received: 30/04/2010

Respondent: Mrs Fiona Jury

Representation Summary:

The assumptions made in relation to the deliverability/developability of the sources of housing land supply are over-ambitious, and fail to show how contingencies will be handled over the Plan period. Furthermore, the 9 general locations identified for extensions to residential envelopes fail to promote new housing development in the most sustainable locations. There should be a higher quantum of development in the Tier 1 settlements in the first instance, and further land should be identified in the Allocations DPD to meet the proposed short-fall, and create a more sustainable pattern of development, than that proposed.
