Draft Local Plan Review

Q17. Do you agree with Policy P6? If not why not, and what alternative would you suggest?

Representation ID: 131

Received: 06/12/2016

Respondent: SMBC - Managed Growth & Communities Directorate

Representation Summary:

Policy needs to refer to assessment of applications, not just allocations.
Suggest removing or amending words to cross-refer to Green Belt policy and need for vsc's. The reference to 'other locations' is ambiguous and could raise equality issues if it imposes a requirement on travellers which is not expressly imposed on others.
Supporting text:
Remove specific reference to 38 pitches to allow opportunity for review of need as and when necessary. Suggest more general wording to clarify that the Council will assess need through robust local evidence and meet it through allocations.
Supporting text should also refer to planning applications.
