SA13.1: Allocated sites for delivery

The sites listed in Tables 13.1 ‘Allocated sites for housing development’, 13.2 ‘Allocated site for Gypsies and Travellers’, 13.3 ‘Allocated sites for mixed-use development’, 13.4 ‘Allocated sites for employment development’ and 13.5 ‘Allocated sites for education development’ are defined on the Policies Map.

Appropriate types of development or land uses are identified for each site allocation. Where mixed-use development is proposed, this may refer to specific identified uses and also consist of one or more of the uses set out in Table 13.3. Other ancillary uses and sui generis will be acceptable where they are compatible and positively contribute towards the objectives of the area, particularly where a site is located within a designated Strategic Development Area.

Planning Permission will be granted for proposals that:

  • Accord with the policies in the Local Plan;
  • Have regard to any Supplementary Planning Document, masterplan or development brief that affects the site;
  • Deliver the uses identified and address the key development considerations for each site; and
  • Provide appropriate mitigation measures for issues identified where the development considerations set out the need for an assessment.
