Representation ID: 26582

Received: 02/03/2020

Respondent: Bloor Homes

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

No housing trajectory and the rate of delivery unknown. This is a significant failure. The Site can deliver a smaller scale housing development of around 200 homes within the early Plan period. Without full consideration of this and joint working to increase delivery, the stepped trajectory has not been justified and is unsound. Plan is also overly-reliant on delivery of IGS for stepped delivery. Question the overall housing requirement and whether the Council have adequately considered uplifting to support economic growth as this contradicts paragraph 8.168. Contrary to NPPF 35 and not positively prepared or effective.

Change suggested by respondent:

Allocate identified site to address early plan delivery issues. Include a housing trajectory. Apply an uplift to the housing requirement to support economic growth.
