HC4 Homes for Older People
Gladman contend that Policy HC4 should consider the nature and scale of provision for older people on a site-by-site basis depending on demand in a particular area and site suitability. There should not be a blanket requirement across all major residential development schemes. The supporting text to Policy H4 should also contain further guidance on the types of provision that would meet this policy requirement.

HC7 Self and Custom Build Housing
Gladman would broadly support the inclusion of a policy in respect of self-build and custom-build housing in line with current government thinking and objectives. Gladman recommend that the final policy wording also states that once a self-build and/or custom-build plot has been marketed for 12 months but failed to be sold, it
will revert to consideration by the Council to be built out as conventional market housing.

HC9 Design Requirements
Gladman are broadly supportive of the direction of travel for policy H9. Nonetheless, the final policy wording for H9 should not be overly prescriptive and should also
reflect that, whilst it is important, good design should be considered at the most appropriate stage of the planning process (the detailed application stage) to avoid
unnecessary delay on matters of detail at the outline stage.

NB2 Biodiversity
Gladman would support a development management policy which aligns with the Governments proposals within the Environment Bill 2019-2021. However, Gladman suggests the Council should not look to set a requirement over and
above the 10% biodiversity net gain that the Government is seeking to legislate,

Gladman are supportive of the current Local Plan Review allocation, and consider that the allocation of the site for a minimum of 180 dwellings would best reflect the evidence-based constraints and opportunities of the site and the wider area, and its capacity to absorb growth. Gladman can confirm that the site can deliver the emerging policy requirement of 30% affordable homes, or the adopted policy at the time any future planning application is determined.
