SITE SELECTION REPORT
None of the sites put forward were shown unanimously by all four independent site assessments to be absolutely suitable for allocation in the Neighbourhood Plan. All sites had various constraints that prevented that in at least one of the assessments; some which may readily be mitigated; some that require further evidence in order to be mitigated; and some which cannot be mitigated.
Hence as shown in the site selection process flowchart, it has been necessary to undertake a process of site selection.
We have provisionally completed that report and starting 3 June 2019 our draft will be reviewed by our main consultant, who will advise us if it is objective, fair and reaches reasonable conclusions, and if the methodology we have used is acceptable.
While that review takes place we are publishing here a partial version of the draft report. The sections excluded at present are those that rate each site against a set of policy critera, then rank sites in order of suitability and review any cumulative impacts that might result from their development. Because those sections identify which sites we propose to allocate in the Plan and for how many houses, we are withholding that information until our consultant's report is complete and we have had a chance to discuss it with her and agree what if any changes are required to our site selection report. In the version you can download below you will be able to see:
How we have mitigted various constraints for each site;
Which policy criteria are used to rate each site and why;
How each criteria is weighted in terms of relative improtance; and
The standard descriptions on which rating of each criteria is based
Once the consultant review is complete and agreed, and we have informed the Parish Counil of the provsional results, we will publish the full report with those results.
