Paragraph 4.4 and Table 1

It is unclear which sites are included in the 'Strategic Sites' category. The CCIL Viability Study tests the viability of 5 no. strategic sites (Table 5.2.1) but does not state whether these sites represent a sample or a comprehensive list of all such sites to be considered for CIL purposes. Clarification of the categories is needed.

The list of 5 no sites referred to does not include the land at Red House Farm which is allocated in the RDS. Respondent supports allocation but objects to omission of additional land at Red House Farm.

Therefore, if the RHF site is to be considered as 'Residential' within Zone A with a higher proposed CIL charge of £50/sqm, rather than strategic with a lower charge of £30, we would object because when defining development proposals for the RHF site, the issue of affordable housing and infrastructure delivery will be a consideration. Notwithstanding the content of paragraph 5.1 of the Draft Charging Schedule (see below) it is vital that the RHF site is included within the lower proposed charging level of Zone A (£30/sqm) to ensure it is viable and can deliver appropriate regeneration for the Lillington area.
