The Opportunity Area guidance in Part C is inconsistent with the assumptions and content of site specific allocations in Policies SP2, SP3, SP5, and Tables 1-3. Opportunity Area B Merchant Quarter identifies a Development Opportunity for mixed use (max 50% [residential]). In SP2/Table 1 and SP3/Table 2 there are instances where the assumed residential component exceeds 50% (IP043, IP052, 1P136). Development Principles suggest that there should generally be a limit of 3 storey development, rising to 5 storeys in some instances, but for allocations IP136 and IP132, the assumed capacity is derived from a development scenario which is 10 storeys.
