New settlement proposed for DS4 will not contribute to housing growth during the current plan period, but will address the housing growth required post plan period, with the transport corridor formed by A449 and West Coast Mainline.

Agreement with the rationale for the chosen area of search for the most sustainable location for a strategic site of scale which recoginises the long term growth. However, there needs to be clarity of commitment to allocate a specific site to deliver this policy.

Land at Dunston is credible to be able to identify the needs for policy DS4, as the new settlement site is located outside the Green Belt, masterplan and technical work has been progressed already including time scales for development. (See promotional documents in attachments)
