Representation Summary:

it would be helpful if further clarity could be provided in the submission version of the Plan on the following:
Given that the background evidence advocates a site-specific approach to calculating and delivering BNG, it is unclear how the policy requirement for at least 10% gain can be justified. District wide policy of £205 differs from evidence base figure. SEE FULL REP ATTACHED.

Change suggested by respondent:

Policy 3 should be adjusted to allow ability to deliver on-site mitigation as an alternative to per dwelling contributions.
SEE FULL REP ATTACHED.

Representation on behalf of Orbit Homes, J Alston and Sons and Pelham Homes in relation to Silfield Garden Village.

The team led by Orbit Homes are generally supportive of the GNLP (Pre-submission) as currently drafted but consider that some aspects of the Pre-submission GNLP would benefit from amendment and/or further detail to ensure the GNLP meets the soundness test as set out at paragraph 35 of the NPPF. Please see the enclosed representation submission for details.
