HC7 - Self & Custom Build Housing
In general, we support the Council’s approach to self & custom build housing. As set out in our responses to previous consultation stages, we do not support self and custom build housing being required on allocated sites as a proportion of overall housing requirement.
C17 - Open Space
In relation to policy HC17, the consultation document propose to make it clear that small incidental
green infrastructure will not be counted towards on-site open space. This may be justified, but the Council should not overlook the benefits of such areas if appropriately planted and maintained can have for biodiversity.
EC10 - Developer contributions
Any contribution requests should be open to negotiation and based on CIL reg 122 (2) tests.
NB1 - Protecting, enhancing and expanding natural assets
There should be a clear hierarchy of land that the Council will consider for such uses. Land in the ownership of a willing landowner should be considered before other land where ownership issues are unresolved.
