There is a contradiction in terms in paragraph 243. ‘Piecemeal’ means piece by piece, one piece at a time. However, it is important is that there is a unifying approach to the bringing forward of an allocation and that one piece does not prejudice the delivery of another piece.
The Council recognises that an allocation can come forward in phases indicating an acceptance to a piece by piece approach (which is better characterised as a coordinated phased approach); it is the coordination of the bringing forward of pieces which is critical to the successful delivery of an allocation.
In this context, concept master plans are only one way in which an allocation can be brought forward piece by piece provided that there is a demonstration that they will not prejudice the delivery of the remainder.
Paragraph 243 should remove reference to the word ‘piecemeal’.
The paragraph should also be modified to make clear that concept master plans are only one way in which the Council’s objectives in relation to a joint and coordinated approach on the delivery of an allocation can be realised.
