Development of strategic sites such as the Asps are addressing a district wide housing need, in addition to any local housing need. Whilst Policy BT12 may, therefore, have appropriate application within the Village of Bishop’s Tachbrook, seeking to apply outputs from a village survey onto the wider strategic development of the Asps which is addressing a different housing requirement, is inappropriate. The Policy should be amended to reflect the different nature of the strategic local plan allocations, subject to Local Plan policies H2 and H4, from any development within the Village.

It states that development proposals for new housing should demonstrate how they have met the needs identified in the most up to date Parish Housing Survey. However, housing development sites may not only be providing for local needs and Policy BT12 would therefore not have appropriate application unless the proposal is for a development that is purely to meet identified local need in the village. As drafted the policy is therefore contrary to Basic Condition e).

Given the area is covered by the Neighbourhood Plan and there existing housing allocations within this area, Northern Trust are concerned by the draft policy requirement for new housing developments to be informed by, and demonstrate how they have met the needs of, the most up to date Parish Housing Needs Survey.

This policy requires new housing to be informed by Local Plan Policies H2 (affordable housing quotas) and H4 (dwelling type mix requirement), and Parish Housing Needs survey (for needs). It is inappropriate to limit the “needs” element for a “Growth Village” as it is designated in the Local Plan, which is targeted for growth to accommodate District Wide need.
