Representation Summary:

Policy HOU1 – Delivering Sustainable Housing Growth
Policy HOU1 relates to delivering sustainable housing growth. Criteria 4) states that:
“The development of sites for housing should demonstrate a comprehensive approach, making best use of available land and infrastructure and not prejudicing neighbouring uses…Masterplans and Supplementary Planning Documents will be produced, where appropriate, to provide detailed guidance on the development of strategic allocations.”
Support is given to this part of the policy subject to the Local Planning Authority supporting the extension of the allocated housing site DUH006 as referred to above. The Masterplan submitted in support of these representations and supporting technical reports demonstrates how site DUH006 needs to be delivered to achieve a comprehensive approach that will regenerate and remediate the entirety of the site. Without the extension of the allocation, the wider site will not be remediated, managed, or maintained.
