of adoption an indicative capacity of 900+ dwellings as set out in Policy
H2.
H2A sets out the proposed release of Phase 2 sites only after 2006
and only if monitoring shows a potential shortfall of the required annual
delivery of 440 in the RSS.
At the Full Council Meeting on 13 September 2011, Councillors heard
that the Council could no longer demonstrate a 5 year housing supply
and must take action to boost land supply in the interim period until
such time that the SADPD was adopted (where it would thus provide
15 years supply of land).
The Officer’s report sets out that there was less than a 5 years supply
of land which meant that Phase 2 sites could be released in
accordance with SDLP Policy thus boosting housing land availability.
However the Phase 2 sites could in theory deliver over 2000 dwellings
which is far in excess of the amount required to boost the 5 years
supply in that 18 month period.
The issue was further compounded that in the most up to date policy
position (the Submission Draft Core Strategy), Sherburn-in-Elmet was
expected to accommodate in the order of 500 dwellings in the 15 year
plan period.
SHB/1(B) was allocated for “900+” which is clearly in excess of the
planned for quantum.
The Preferred Options SADPD document at that time set out the
intended allocations in the District in line with the CS figures as known
at that time.
The site SHB/1B was still considered appropriate for some
development, albeit at a reduced quantum to reflect more up to date
consultation on the desired smaller sites and increased distribution
throughout the village, and availability of other sites. It was suggested
that Phase 2 sites could be released in line with the emerging SADPD.
Minute 40 states that Council resolved:
iv To agree to the release of all the Local Plan Phase 2 residential
allocations, but with revised housing numbers consistent with
those set out in the Site Allocations DPD Preferred Options;
Changes since the previous application
The Council accepts the principle of some development on the subject
site through both an allocation in the SDLP, and also a proposed
allocation in the emerging SADPD. The issue is the quantum of
development proposed. The Council’s formal position remains that
SHB/1(B) should be released for around 282 dwellings, as set out in
the Council Report and Minutes of 13 September 2011.
