The Trust recognises the positive intent of Policy 10 'Bringing forward allocated sites in the Growth Villages' but considers that as currently worded it would act to potentially jeopardise the successful delivery of housing sites as it effectively restricts house building in the Growth Villages to a maximum of 50 dwellings in any 5 year period based. We consider that the District Council has failed to recognise likely unintended negative consequences of such a policy restriction:
-construction activity being spread over a much longer period
-inefficient and fragmented improvements to and/or delivery of new infrastructure
-fragmented scheme designs if different developers build-out different parts of the original site.
Policy H10 is not in alignment with the presumption in favour of sustainable development nor does it accord with the intention of the NPPF to provide a significant boost to the supply of housing
