It is considered that as drafted the Borough Vision is ambiguous and should be amended to be explicit on the aim to meet the Borough's own objectively assessed housing needs in full, as well as an adequate proportion of the shortfall arising in the wider Housing Market Area.

Broadly support the spatial strategy.
The draft Local Plan Review proposes a sequential approach to the identification of sites for development.
The approach, which seeks to focus new development on land in and around existing settlements is supportedand will achieve the aims of sustainable development.
The proposed expansion of the rural villages such as Balsall Common is supported specifically.
In summary, the proposed spatial strategy is considered sound. It has been positively prepared to achieve sustainable development and is justified by the evidence base supporting the Local Plan Review.

In relation to the proposed options for the delivery of self and custom build housing (Policy P4D), Option 1 is considered to be the most feasible and deliverable. The size and nature of plots that self-builders are likely to require will be more suited to smaller sites and not those typically built by volume housebuilders.

- Whilst amendments will be made to the NPPF to reflect White Paper comments on
repayment periods and the income caps as drafted, Policy P4 and the 20% Starter Homes requirement is considered to be premature and the policy should be amended to include flexibility and an allowance for site by site negotiation.
- In accordance with Paragraph 182 of the NPPF, Policy P4, as drafted in respect of Starter Homes provision,is not considered sound as it has not been justified and is not clear enough to be effective.
- Draft Policy P4(C) on housing mix is supported,

As drafted, Policy P7 expects developments to 'fulfil' a number of requirements for the location of development in terms of access. The policy is onerous and does not contain the flexibility of the PPF which states that development should be focused in locations "which are or can be made sustainable". In order to be found sound Policy P7 should be redrafted to be more flexible and encompass the 'can be made' focus of the NPPF.

- accepted that residential development will be liable to pay CIL at the rates set out within the adopted CIL Charging Schedule.
- Draft Local Plan Review Policy P21 provides for S106 contributions to be sought from new development in respect of site specific matters. Requested S106 contributions should not include any items covered by CIL payments (Regulation 123 Infrastructure) to avoid double charging. All S106 contributions must also ensure they are Reg 122 compliant with regards to the pooling of contributions from development proposals.

The proposed allocation LPR 3 represents a natural extension to Balsall Common which reflects the limited landscape impact that would result and the site's proximity to a good range of services and facilities.
- the loss of open space will be restricted to a well contained area closely related to the existing area.

The rationale for its identification is considered to be sound in accordance with Para 182 of the NPPF, draft allocation LPR3 is considered sound.
