Land at Lower Heathcote Farm (part of the South of Harbury Lane proposed allocation) can come forward for development early, delivering housing in a manner consistent with the objective of boosting supply and making a contribution to the 5 year housing land supply. The requirement for either development briefs or master plans to be approved by the Local Authority creates a risk that unnecessary delay will prevail. Clarity is provided to bring forward sites through other policies in the plan therefore the requirement for master plans and briefs is not necessary. There are mechanisms in place to ensure that the necessary infrastructure is delivered through the application process and the proposals map is clear about what infrastructure is required and where without the need for a master plan. Policy DM1 assists this. In summary, there are policies and mechanisms in place to ensure the delivery of infrastructure on the strategic sites and that high quality and integrated development is delivered.
