There appear to be inconsistencies in the way that the amber sites have been assessed, e.g. sites 49 and 328 were assessed as amber within the Appendix D to the report to 17th January 2019 Cabinet meeting, which authorised the document for consultation. However the Site Assessment document itself now concludes that
these sites are 'green'. This should be clarified

No. This approach would cause uncertainty for developers and the Council and is not likely to work in practice. It would not be clear how much affordable housing will be delivered through the draft Plan. If the Council allocate sufficient sites which have proportionate evidence regarding their viability and deliverability, this would be the best way of addressing the delivery of much-needed affordable housing.

Broadly speaking yes. As noted in our response to question 7, we consider that the identified capacity of the allocation for site 21 of 100 dwellings is significantly underestimated and as such the increase in housing on this site should be considered by the Council in terms of the phasing of infrastructure required. Our Client's land is available now and can provide proportionate contributions to infrastructure early in the Plan period, as required.
