The draft SPD states; where the site is a subdivision of a larger site or adjacent to another potential housing site, the site size for threshold purposes will be taken to be the larger development site. A series of considerations are then set out for determining whether two or more sites should be considered as one. The draft SPD should be clear that any barriers to separate sites being reasonably considered as one whole development site, for example landownership and landowner intentions, will be fully accounted for.
The draft SPD states that the density of the development will be considered in the application of the threshold of 10 dwellings. Reword to make it clear that the Council is not seeking to control density.
