2.8 Principle of the Development, Comprehensive Development of the
Allocation, Housing Numbers and Timescale
2.8.1 The Adopted Selby District Local Plan (SDLP) sets out that the
application site sits within a Phase 2 allocation. SHB/1(B) Low Street,
Sherburn in Elmet, with a total area of 39.30ha and at the time of
adoption an indicative capacity of 900+ dwellings as set out in Policy
H2 of the Local Plan.
2.8.2 Local Plan Housing figures were originally based on the County
Structure Plan and planned for a higher rate of development than
current RSS targets. The Local Plan took consideration of this planned
growth and set a target of 600 dwellings per annum (dpa) and allocated
land accordingly.
2.8.3 The subsequent RSS proposed an annual target of 440 dpa, lower
than the 600 dpa proposed at the start of the Local Plan in 2005.
However the Local Plan Phase 2 housing allocations remain based on
a higher requirement.
2.8.4 Policy H2A of the Local Plan sets out the proposed release of Phase 2
sites and states that these sites will only be released after 2006 and
only if monitoring shows a potential shortfall of the required annual
delivery of 440 in the RSS.
2.8.5 Annual monitoring of existing commitments and allocations in July
2011 found that there was insufficient land to provide a 5 year housing
land supply. As such the decision was made to release Phase 2 sites
by Full Council on the 13 th September 2011 in order to boost land
supply in the interim period until such a time that the SADPD was
adopted.
2.8.6 At the time of the Council meeting the Preferred Options Site
Allocations Development Plan Document (SADPD) set out the intended
allocations in the District in line with the Core Strategy figures as
known at that time. The site SHB/1B was still considered appropriate
for some development, albeit in 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
therefore suggested that on the basis of this that Phase 2 sites could
be released in line with the emerging SADPD.
