| Q. The site proposed for development is 16 acres and you have suggested 30-40 houses for the site and a Village Green/Village Hall. Assuming an acre each for the Green and Hall that you have proposed, that is still 13-14 acres for development. If the density of development was similar to Duchy Close (9 houses per acre) then that would suggest that the site could take 117 houses. Your indicative proposal of a maximum of 40 houses would be a density of only 3 houses per acre which is well below the level required in the Core Spatial Strategy NDP-0037. If the site was to be included in the NDP with the housing levels you have proposed, it is highly likely that the plan would be ruled "unsound" as it would be an unsustainable use of land. What would your response be? This issue was raised at the informal meeting on 20th December (Filenote: NDP-0156). A. The question was answered during the review meeting NDP-C003 by the tabling of a new proposal NDP-0170 for a site half the size with 50 houses at a density comparable with Duchy Close. |
