Draft Local Plan Review

The requirements of Policy P21 should be explicitly recognised as factors that can affect the viability of a development and be taken into account in, for example, the establishment of the appropriate level of affordable housing which can be supported by a residential scheme.

Richborough Estates Limited support the proposed allocations at Frog Lane, Balsall Common (Potential Housing Allocation 2) and West of Dickens Heath (Potential Housing Allocation 4) which fully accord with the sequential approach adopted in the Local Plan Review towards the identification of suitable sites. Further comments are made in site-specific representations attached.

Richborough Estates endorse the master planning approach towards Potential Housing Allocations and have already sought to engage with stakeholders in the formulation of proposals for the sites at Frog Lane, Balsall Common and West of Dickens Heath. Richborough Estates will continue to engage with the Council and other stakeholders prior to the submission of any planning application.
