HC1 – Should be flexible to allow for development outside of the plan scope
HC3 – Policy should be amended to avoid affordable housing being fixed. Greater clarity on pepper potting thresholds should be given. Provision relating to grant funding should be removed. Offsite/financial contributions should be subject to viability/market evidence.
HC4 – unclear what the justification is for requiring both NDSS and M4(2) on 30% of new dwellings.
HC6 – the restriction on market housing cross-funding should be lifted in the Green Belt. Do not consider policy consistent with the NPPF.
HC7 – Requiring self-build plots on all major developments is onerous and provides no certainty in terms of level of provision. Specific small plots should be allocated for self-build instead.
HC9 – Tree lined streets should be detailed further and may have viability implications. Requiring a Design and Access Statement for all applications would be overly onerous for householders and very minor applications.
HC11 – Suggest flexibility to indicate most development should meet NDSS
Amend policies to clarify that development should not solve existing infrastructure problems.
HC14 – Policies should clarify that new development should not solve existing infrastructure issues.
HC17 – Requiring play equipment on all schemes is disproportionate on smaller sites near existing facilities. Provision should be based on bedspaces and requiring open space to be centrally located should be removed.
HC19 – Vague policy that should be substantiated prior to an SPD.
NB5 – Omission of energy storage needs addressing to address intermittent renewable generation.
NB7 – Disagree that all major developments should provide an FRA. Disagree that all major developments should provide SuDS, particularly on brownfield sites.
