We consider, the stages which define the SA to be robust in nature and ensure that the fundamental areas in relation to the plan making process have been considered. However, there is a heavy reliance placed on large strategic sites which could struggle to deliver the required housing numbers across the plan period as anticipated. It would be a more sound and positive approach to plan making if smaller sites in lower tiers of the settlement hierarchy were identified in the local plan process. This would assist in the delivery of growth across the District and avoid potential speculative applications being submitted to meet the shortfall in growth.
