whilst they retain a commit to delivering custom-build housing plots and afford policy compliant levels of affordable housing across the site, it is evident that the land offers an opportunity to deliver a larger scale of development, in the region of 60- 70 dwellings.

With regard to the allocation of site ref. B2 (Billesdon Depot, South of Gaulby Road), it is clear from the allocation in the 'made' Neighbourhood Plan - as well as the ongoing application across the site - that the provision of any housing across the site is highly unlikely to come forward. As such, the required numbers should be re-allocated to the larger scale development of site ref. B1.

We support the Council in planning for a medium scale of housing growth

However, we believe that, in order to generate growth across the District and deliver the necessary improvements to required to meet the ambitious vision for the Local Plan, it is imperative that the Council seek to deliver a scale of growth at a minimum of 780 new dwellings per annum.

We support a balanced approach of delivering the much need sustainable development

With regard to Billesdon specifically, we support its designation as a Medium Village within the policy, although believe it has capacity to suitably deliver above the 63 dwellings. This is explored later in this document.

We wholeheartedly support the policy to deliver appropriate levels of affordable housing to meet local need. However, policies should allow flexibility to enable individual sites to adapt to their specific constraints and needs, accounting for viability.

We consider that policy to ensure the appropriate mix of housing in submitted development applications is necessary, although believe that the policies should allow flexibility to enable individual sites to adapt to their specific constraints and needs, accounting for viability. It is crucial that housing mix should not adversely impact upon the deliverability of a site, with a method based upon the most up to date evidence base - reviewed regularly to ensure it remains accurate - considered to be appropriate.

We support the minimum densities set out within the policy, and believe this provides further evidence of the need to increase the allocated housing numbers across site ref. B1 within Policy SA01
