Four Ashes Road Ltd has limited comment in respect of the external space standard that reflect existing policy which are generally considered appropriate. However, if bungalows are to be provided within a scheme, it would seem logical to relax garden sizes to allow for the provision of communal gardens to ensure efficient use of land.

Four Ashes Road Ltd do object to the internal floorspace policy requirement for all homes to meet NDSS (details provided in paragraphs 6.6 – 6.15 of full representation) It is clear that the evidence does not currently support the imposition of the optional NDSS within South Staffordshire. To the contrary, the evidence highlights a number of potential risks if such a policy were to be introduced. NDSS requirement should be removed.

Four Ashes Road Ltd supports the proposed parking standards contained within the Publication Plan. It is no longer necessary for the Council to have a proposed policy requirement for EVCPs as this is included in Government Regulations.

Concern is raised that the emerging requirements appear to provide no flexibility with regards to a site’s context.
Accessibility standards should be established through the Local Plan to provide certainty and not displaced to supplementary guidance which is not intended to establish policy.

Keon Homes recognises that a financial contribution to sports facilities and playing pitches may be necessary from new major development to meet needs arising from the development, but this should only apply where evidence recognises there is a shortfall in capacity to meet the generated demand from the development.

The intention of NB2 is recognised, and any policy should require a net gain in line with latest Government legislation, policy or guidance.

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 10.1 – 10.10 of the full representation.
These policies are fundamentally unsound and should be removed.

Four Ashes Road Ltd notes the identification of two 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.
