A locally specific sustainable construction requirement is unnecessary and without justification for deviation from the Government’s Future Homes standards to be considered through building regulations. Full details on the Climate Change Study & other Regulations detailed in paragraphs 11.1 – 11.11 of the full representation.
These policies are fundamentally unsound and should be removed.

Cameron Homes notes the identification of four strategic housing allocations and the included housing trajectory and considers a more detailed housing trajectory should be included to ensure the reliance on these strategic sites does not undermine the timely delivery of housing against a non-stepped trajectory.

Land at School Lane, Coven - this is supported as ‘sound’ by Cameron Homes who have a current interest in this land. Details of the proposed allocation in paragraph 4.4 of the full representation.
Cameron Homes considers that the identified yield of 48 dwellings underestimates the likely capacity of the site, having regard to the proposed policies in respect of housing density and mix. The sketch layout attached at Appendix A demonstrates a scheme of approximately 60 dwellings.

Land at A449 and School Lane, Coven - details on Sustainability Appraisal, Landscape Sensitivity, impact on the historic environment, impact on flood risk and highways are detailed in paragraphs 12.7 - 12.13 of the full representation. There is an agreement in place between the landowner and Cameron Homes to facilitate development of the site and therefore the site is deliverable and immediately available.

Land at Landywood Lane - this is supported as ‘sound’ by Cameron Homes who have a current interest in this land. It appears unnecessary to include the existing SAD allocation within the proposed allocation as the majority of the site is almost complete. This seems inconsistent with the approach taken on other sites within the Plan. Details of the proposed allocation in paragraph 4.5 of the full representation.
Cameron Homes considers that the identified yield of 159 dwellings underestimates the likely capacity of the site, having regard to the proposed policies in respect of housing density and mix. The sketch layout attached at Appendix A demonstrates a scheme of approximately 177 dwellings.

Land at Landywood Lane - details on Sustainability Appraisal, Green Belt Harm, Landscape Sensitivity, impact on the historic environment, impact on flood risk, highways, impact on current land use, impact on natural environment and impact on environmental quality are detailed in paragraphs 12.7 - 12.25 of the full representation. There is an agreement in place between the landowner and Cameron Homes to facilitate development of the site and therefore the site is deliverable and immediately available.
