IMP2 - DELIVERING SITE ALLOCATIONS
Our approach
We will ensure that site allocations contribute to the delivery of sustainable growth and supporting infrastructure.
We will achieve this by
- Supporting in principle proposals that accord with the identified site allocation and the proposed use of the site and which have regard to the context, constraints and other provisions of the respective site allocations;
- Preparing non-statutory planning briefs, masterplans and promoting housing zone designations where appropriate to support the development of individual site allocations and the spatial integration of related development sites; and
- Considering the use of Compulsory Purchase Orders to support wider regeneration objectives and the delivery of critical or necessary infrastructure.
We will expect development proposals to
- Accord with the identified site allocation and the proposed use of the site and to also have regard to the context, constraints and other provisions of the respective site allocations, including any council adopted planning brief;
- Demonstrate that they have sought to meet the ratio of uses set out within the mixed use site allocations, and provide evidence to support any proposed variation with reference to other policies in the plan and provide open book financial assessments where viability is an issue;
- Ensure that where the partial development of a site allocation is proposed, this would not sterilise the development or regeneration potential of the remainder of the land within the site allocation or prejudice the delivery of affordable housing and zero carbon homes; and
- Deliver critical education infrastructure where required by Policy CI2.
