    • Land at Thorncote Road (Close Field), Northill amounting to 0.86ha for a total of 21 dwellings;
    • The Pound, Upper Caldecote amounting to 1.74ha for a total of 33 dwellings
  2. Proposals for the development of these sites should include a proportion of affordable housing in line with CBC policies, subject to a viability assessment
  3. Support will also be given for the development of up to 40 dwellings within the Plan period on Rural Exception Sites to meet identified local housing need, subject to meeting the requirements of Policy NP3
  4. In addition to the allocated sites, and to provide an element of flexibility, residential development within settlement envelopes will be supported provided the following criteria are met:
    • The site is small in scale – up to 10 dwellings;
    • The site is not within flood zones 3a or 3b as shown on the Environment Agency’s flood maps;
    • The proposal is not for back-land development as defined by Policy NP5; d. The development would not lead to coalescence between settlements
  5. Any development should comply with all the policies within the Neighbourhood Plan
  6. Any development should be able to contribute towards and not conflict with any aspiration in the Northill Parish Neighbourhood Plan or Green Infrastructure Plan
