I note that the draft local plan assigns a minimum of 35 houses to Great Glen.

However, policy H1 states

In addition to delivery of existing commitments and completions and the allowance for windfalls, land for a minimum of 4,660 new homes will be provided during the plan period to 2031 in the following locations:

Existing commitments implies inclusion of include Oaks Road 17/00579/OUT which the planning committee resolved to approve in July. This is an outline application for 170 dwellings.

However the draft local plan also states:

5.1.12 Housing land is provided in accordance with the settlement hierarchy and strategic aims of Policy SS1 Spatial strategy . The sources of housing land supply are set out at Table B.1 below. Policy H1 includes slightly rounded figures.

Table B1 includes 'Commitments (with planning permission or allocated through neighbourhood plans, as at 31 March 2017).

The Committee resolved to approve Oaks Road in July 2017, 170 houses in Great Glen after the March cut off date.

I believe that H1 is in error and therefore not Justified, effective or consistent with national policy. I suggest that it should be reworded to say '..existing commitments and completions since 31 March 2017'.

As further background and justification to the above:

Prior to the issue of the Local Plan in September, the Council consulted on several options for Great Glen from 0 to 166 houses, which were whittled down to 4, assigning between 0 and 64 houses to Great Glen. Whilst these plans were in development approximately 70 further dwellings have been approved in Great Glen including 15/00607/OUT (5 Dwellings), 15/00916/OUT (40 dwellings) and 16/01302/OUT (19 Dwellings).
The submission version of the Great Glen Neighbourhood Plan noted that:

A report agreed by the District Council Executive in September 2016 set a residual target for Great Glen of 5 additional dwellings up to 2031, a figure which has been exceeded through Planning Applications approved since the cut-off for calculating the residual housing target (March 2016) with a total of nine additional dwellings having secured planning permission since this time. In discussions with the District Council and the community as part of the preparation of this Neighbourhood Plan, it was agreed that the housing target for Great Glen has been exceeded.

The submission version of the plan was reviewed by the Council for several weeks before passing it on to the inspector (in May 2017 this year) confirming that the Council considered that the emerging local plan should not include additional large housing development in Great Glen.

It is difficult to see how the Council could have gone from a position of requiring 64 houses in Great Glen (about 70 of which have been consented) coming on top of the 305 houses now virtually complete on Stretton Road.and confirming in May that further large housing development in Great Glen was not planned, to a position where Great Glen is required to accept a minimum of 205 houses on top of the 70 constructed or under construction.

I therefore submit that the housing allocation for Great Glen in the Local Plan does not in fact allow for the 170 houses consented on Oaks Road or, probably, anything else committed since 31 March 2017.
