Harborough Local Plan 2011-2031, Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 7167

Received: 17/11/2017

Respondent: Alpha Investments

Agent: Marrons Solicitors

Representation Summary:

Policy H1 identifies minimum housing requirements for the Selected Rural Villages, including Bitteswell (a minimum of 30). The fact that these are expressed as minimum requirements is supported as it incorporates a degree of flexibility into the policy. Marrons Planning does have concerns that the housing trajectory at Appendix G would not ensure a 5 year housing land supply on adoption and thinks this should be addressed by the Local Plan prior to submission to the Secretary of State.
