Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Local Housing Need

Representation ID: 10166

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Taylor Wimpey

Agent: Lichfields

Representation Summary:

Agree broad approach taken to identify OAN for the Borough and assessments undertaken of the alternatives for delivering new homes on brownfield land. Agree that the housing need cannot be achieved from brownfield land alone.
Note the assessment of the Green Belt in the Borough to
identify those areas/sites which do not perform as strongly in terms of the functions of the Green Belt.
In line with the guidance in paragraphs 136 and 137 of the NPPF, it is agreed that there are exceptional circumstances to alter the Green Belt boundaries in order to allow for further housing growth.

Site Selection Methodology

Representation ID: 10167

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Taylor Wimpey

Agent: Lichfields

Representation Summary:

Agree with approach taken by the Council to identify suitable sites for development. It is right to first consider brownfield sites and to then other accessible and sustainable locations, as required by paragraph 138 of NPPF.
Agree Step 2 conclusions for Site 122, but not fully with comments on accessibility and landscape. Accessibility comments not consistent with positive findings in Interim SA (January 2017). LCA not fully relevant to Site 122 as it covers much larger area, does not assess specific capacity levels, and includes landscape sensitivities and value not relevant to site.

Question 40 - Affordable Housing Approach

Representation ID: 10170

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Taylor Wimpey

Agent: Lichfields

Representation Summary:

While Taylor Wimpey are supportive of SMBC's ambition to increase the delivery of affordable housing, it is not considered that changing the way affordable housing is calculated in any of the ways suggested is a practical and workable solution. Taylor Wimpey are of the view that affordable housing should be calculated by a proportion (40%) of the number of units being proposed. The type and size of housing provided for both private sale and affordable housing should instead reflect market demand and local need.
