In Appendix B of the Local Plan there are a series of master planning proformas which include plans of the proposed allocations. The plans are not clear in terms of what is the precise area of the allocation to be delivered. An area of housing allocation is shown, together with ‘Green Infrastructure,’ which, in each case, is outside the area identified in red for the allocation. However, the policies in each case include the provision of green infrastructure. What is the purpose of the areas of green infrastructure outside the allocation boundary and how will it be delivered if it is not part of the allocation?
Vistry consider that the actual allocation boundaries should be comprehensive in their nature and encompass everything within them that is required to be provided as part of the policy.
The Plan is unsound in this respect as it is not effective.

In summary, given all of the uncertainties identified above in relation to a number of the allocated housing sites, Vistry maintain it is impossible to determine the level of housing and development that the allocations can provide per se, let alone delivery in the plan period to 2039. It would appear that additional land is likely to be required to deliver the overall housing requirement.
