Question 38 - Amber Sites
Respondent: Minton (CdeB) Ltd
Representation Summary:
There is no advantage in creating and labelling sites yellow, blue and subsequently amber. This merely creates an unnecessary stage in the methodology adding to confusion and unnecessary complexity.
Delete this element of the methodology and either allocate the amber sites or reject them. The sites would be commented on or not under omission sites in general.

Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Respondent: Minton (CdeB) Ltd
Representation Summary:
Oak Farm (site 24) allocation should include the full extent of the original submission (Site Ref 136).
The Boundary of the site would make a firmer and more defendable Green Belt Boundary than that currently identified. Roads have been identified as defensible boundaries on other sites; this is no different.
The omitted land makes little contribution to landscape quality or the purposes of the Green Belt.
From the traffic island on the eastern edge of the village, the site is clearly part of the settlement; Friday Lane being the visual boundary between the settlement and open countryside.

Question 40 - Affordable Housing Approach
Respondent: Minton (CdeB) Ltd
Representation Summary:
No evidence has been provided to justify the alternative approach now being
taken. It appears that the Council is using affordable housing policy to deal
with identified issues associated with market housing mix such as delivering
smaller housing, increasing densities and minimising Green Belt release.
The current approach of requiring affordable contributions on total sq
meterage or habitable rooms/floorspace would not comply with affordable
housing site thresholds set out by Government in the Written Ministerial
Statement dated 28th November 2014 or para 64 of the NPPF 2019.

Question 41 - Affordable Housing calculation
Respondent: Minton (CdeB) Ltd
Representation Summary:
This is not considered an effective approach. Standard Practise is to calculate
on number of units. This provides more certainty at the outset of development. A change from this could see an adverse impact on the delivery of affordable housing.
New viability evidence should be carried out to support this new approach.
