| Q. You are proposing one property, but nothing could stop the owner selling the land and applying for more than one property later could it? A. We are here to present proposals for a single property only - the access would not be appropriate for any more. |

| Q. You are only showing 1 house on a very large plot. Won't this get turned down as it is at too low a density? A. The minimum densities have been abolished under the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) NDP-0141. This plot is really only suitable for a single property because of the access. A. (Cllr Adrian Dale - Research and clarification after the meeting). The NPPF requires local authorities to define policies relating to density. The North Northamptonshie Core Spatial Strategy (CSS) NDP-0037 does recommend an average density of 35 houses per hectare for "sustainable urban extensions". Chelveston is clearly not urban, but one of the tests for "soundness" of the Neighbourhood Plan is that land should be used "sustainably" i.e. not wasted. East Northamptonshire Council doesn't have standing policies for housing density. It is therefore likely that the Neighbourhood Plan will create policies which specify the density which is appropriate for each site included in the plan. These policies will themselves need to be checked for "soundness" with the NPPF and the CSS. |

| Q. You seem to be proposing that your site be developed completely separately to the site NDP-S021 - Duchy Field, with a separate access from Water Lane. Is this correct? A. Yes this is correct, we have not approached the owners of Duchy Field and believe that our proposal should be assessed on its own merit. |

| Q. One residential unit on a site of 0.35 acres is a relatively unusual request. A site of this size could take 8 properties at the density that is recommended in the Core Spatial Strategy NDP-0037. A strong justification is needed to allocate a site of this size for just 1 property, especially as the adjacent land is being proposed at a higher density. What justification could you offer? A. We don't think that the access is suitable for more than one property. The site lends itself best to a single well landscaped property. |
