New Independent Site Assessments

AECOM’s Site Assessment Team is independently assessing all identified potential sites against national criteria.

Twenty-three sites have been identified by AECOM from the 2014 SHLAA, 2017 SHELLA, the 2020 SHELAA and the original ‘call for sites’.  These twenty-three sites can be found below.  The site address and size of these sites can be found within the NDP Agenda Meeting Notes 07/12/20. 

Site Assessments Map – Parish                                Site Assessments Map – Village Centre 

In addition, a further ‘Call for Sites’ has been advertised, with a closing date of 31/12/20.

As a result of the further ‘Call for Sites, the Council received two responses:

  1. A new site, currently referred to as ‘Area B’.  Further information can be found within the NDP Agenda Meeting Notes 07/12/20.
  2. A map and information regarding potential housing numbers in respect to land a Spencer’s Farm, areas 148a and 148b. Further information can be found in the NDP Agenda Meeting Notes 11/01/20.

AECOM will independently assess these sites and information provided alongside the above.

Subject to no delays beyond our control, the report from AECOM’s Site Assessment team will be taken to the February 2021 Parish Council meeting.

Independent Evidence Base Reviews

AECOM’s Evidence Base and Policy Development (EBPD) Team is currently independently reviewing the ‘Landscape Assessment’ (above table) and the draft policies from the ‘New Draft Oct 2019 NDP’.   This review will advise Council the policies which are and are not sound against the evidence base.  Comments will be used to help the next stages in the creation of a final plan.

Subject to no delays beyond our control, the report from AECOM’s EBPD team will be taken to a Parish Council meeting in February or March 2021.
