Question 38 - Amber Sites
Representation ID: 9936
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Generator (Balsall) & Minton
Agent: DS Planning
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.

Question 39 - Red Sites
Representation ID: 9937
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Generator (Balsall) & Minton
Agent: DS Planning
Site 338-Land adj Harpers Field, Balsall Common
Other sites appear to be reliant on delivery of HS2 or the Bypass.
Site 3 would stretch much further south and have greater impact on Green Belt.
Site 338 only fails on the lack of defensible Green Belt boundaries to the south and west. This is disputed.
The site is no further from the centre than the sites allocated in the 2013 Local Plan.
Site assessment is incorrect as there is a footpath alongside the site.
Green Belt Assessment conclusions are disputed as the site context has changed.
Site easy to deliver.

Question 40 - Affordable Housing Approach
Representation ID: 9938
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Generator (Balsall) & Minton
Agent: DS Planning
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
Representation ID: 9939
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Generator (Balsall) & Minton
Agent: DS Planning
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.
