Site Selection & Major Development
As part of the evidence base to support the Local Plan Review a site selection paper has been prepared which explains the rationale for why the 48 proposed new site allocations in the Regulation 18 consultation document were selected from the palette of ‘has potential’ sites in the LAA, and why other sites in this category are not proposed for allocation.
It also includes an assessment of the three strategic sites in terms of whether they would comprise ‘major development’ under paragraph 183 of the NPPF, and if so whether they would meet the tests in that paragraph.
