Paragraph 4.6
It should be clarified at this paragraph that the Asps already benefits from an extant planning permission in addition to the Local Plan allocation H46B. The permission is already the subject of legal agreements under S106 of the Town & Country Planning Act, to ensure the delivery of a range of community and public planning gain, including the provision of the proposed Park and Ride facility and arrangements relating to affordable housing, biodiversity off-setting, education, healthcare, police, public rights of way and sustainable travel/welcome packs. The impact arising from the Asps, and the mitigation necessary to address it, has already been determined through the grant of planning permission.

As currently drafted the Plan may give rise to a perception or expectation that these matters could be re-visited through Neighbourhood Plan policy. To avoid this, it is suggested that the Plan text here be amended to clarify that permission was granted for development of the Asps in January 2016, and that appropriate mitigation is already secured through the S106 agreements entered into at that time.
