The key infrastructure and design requirements set out in the policy for Land at Cross Green are supported. Taylor Wimpey hold the majority of the site under freehold ownership, with land interests in the remainder. Taylor Wimpey support the requirement for a masterplan and design code, but do not consider it necessary to require a separate SPD for establishing site requirements and assessment frameworks. The requirement for site-specific SPDs has the potential to delay delivery of strategic housing allocations and duplicate information prepared through the masterplan and design code process.

Due to the scale of the four sites Taylor Wimpey supports the inclusion of site-specific policies establishing a vision for each site alongside a detailed masterplan and design code.
