Policy SA5 sets out the proposed allocations across the District. We support additional growth being directed to Bilbrook. However, as stated in our response to Question 5, we consider that an uplift should be applied to the minimum local housing need and a greater contribution towards the HMA shortfall may be required in light of recent evidence that the shortfall is likely to be significantly more than the existing figure.
In light of the above, we considered that Bilbrook is a suitable location for additional growth given it is one of
the most sustainable settlements in the District. We consider that our client’s land (site reference 500) forms a
logical extension to proposed Strategic Allocation SA1 and its allocation will assist the Council in demonstrating
a more defensible Green Belt boundary.
